Japanese Fringe Rock

Japan has produced some of the most challenging and exciting experimental music for years, taking the raw material of rock from the U.S. and Europe, and twisting it into alluring and exciting new forms. The result is the skin-peeling psychedelia of Acid Mothers Temple, the noisy garage rock of Guitar Wolf, Boris's absorbing metal, and the electronics-torturing work of Melt-Banana and POLYSICS.
