I think these guys wrote an anime intro or something? Or maybe an entire soundtrack? Not really my lane, but that's how people seem to know them. I'm here to rave about their god-tier run of Power-Pop in the late 90s with albums like HAPPY BIVOUAC and LITTLE BUSTERS.
The Hoikkaido-based group has anthemic singalongs like LITTLE BUSTERS' title track, songs named after the legendary Kim Deal (of Breeders & Pixies fame), acoustic cuts that'd sound at home on a Pinkerton, and perfect almost Dookie-esq rock tracks like Crazy Sunshine.
So much fun to listen to. Especially if you're driving on a highway in the sunshine !

Okayyy hello another one of my fav songs!! I am trying to be more purposeful with my reviews from here on out.. I got recommended this song through le algorithm. In like 2022, I started listening to more shoegaze, dream pop, indie rock, idk what ever this genre is (genre is marketing tool anyways). So I'm glad this song made it into my feed. 2020-2023 worse yrs ever… I got to listen to music all day at my office job, so I found a lot of good music. I listen to sad music when I'm sad, and I was realyyy sad 🤣Crazy Town made me happy:) Definitely a feel good song for me, it never gets old! I fuck with Velocity Girl 💯💯I love that around this time in the 90s small bands were getting picked up by college radio stations (which ppl should listen to more often) Sub Pop was also in its prime, and Velocity Girl got picked up by them. The album that this song is on, Copacetic, is spectacular and was recorded in less than a week!!! P good for a debut alb 👍🏻In most songs it's the guitar that really gets me before the vocals or anything else. I like that the guitar sounds like “clean” shoegaze. Its sounds so epic to me the melody is also catchy and simple yet it gets the job done👍🏻Her vocals are so soft and sweet 🕊️its also easy for me to sing in the car (bad singer) Can’t help the urge to jump up and down and go crazyyyyyy while listening😝Brings me joy<3 Honestly thats all I got for this review it just sounds awesome nothing specific..🤪Album art also goes crazyyy fuzzy colors and genius text placement?... I like😎Also classic one girl in a band of boys

🎵I think their band name is awful lol, but their music is great. It reminds me of early Shout Out Louds stuff, so much so that I got this weird nostalgic dislocation to my high school sense of self during the first listen. Anyway if you like catchy and anthemic choruses over mellow yet crisp grooves then check them out.

New (ish) band from SF I wasn't previously familiar with; title track from their debut LP.
The sort of "gooey guitars at 3 am in the comdeown room" psych-rock I've always dug.
RIYL: Brian Jonestown Massacre, Dandy Warhols, Black Angels, Slowdive. old school (Storm in Heaven) Verve

🔮tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public
this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago
no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI
a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account
so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
