 Japanese
Voyeurs
- Now I am sure most regular readers of
Alternative Vision never thought that they
would see the day that the Japanese Voyeurs
become our band of the month as from the
start we have gave the band some pretty
poor reviews but it seems that the band
may well of listened to some of the criticism
that they got in the earlier days from many
different publications as their recent singles
‘Get Hole’ and ‘Cry Baby’
have been top notch and not to forget their
recent explosive support slot on the Slash
tour which proves that the Japanese Voyeurs
are more suited to the big stage than the
toilet sized venues.
The
bands GGGarth Richardson produced debut
album ‘Yolk’ was released
only a couple of weeks ago on the 11th
July which coincided with their performance
in the Bohemia tent at the Sonisphere
festival. ‘Yolk’ is an album
which the Japanese Voyeurs have been working
on for what seems like a good 18months
and from the off you can tell that the
time and effort they put into ‘Yolk’
has paid off as it is an fantastic dirty
sounding grunge rock album that you will
want to listen to again and again.
At the moment the
band only have a few dates confirmed and
they are for mainland Europe, but with
‘Yolk’ only being a few weeks
old you can guarantee that the band will
announce a full length UK tour in the
near future so they can show people what
‘Yolk’ is all about on the
live circuit.
If you are new to
Japanese Voyeurs then the best starting
point would be to give ‘You’re
So Cool’, ‘Dumb’ or
‘Cry Baby’ a listen as the
three songs together provide a positive
triple whammy start to the album and I
am sure once you have been in the presence
of Romily’s vocals for a good ten
minutes you will be in love with them. |
