They came to the attention of Kurt Cobian and the rest of Nirvanain the late 80s.Kurt going on record that they were his favourite band."When I finally got to see them live, I was transformed into a hysterical nine-year-old girl at a Beatles concert," Kurt CobianOther bands are huge fans such as Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Red Kross and the Beastie Boys.Heavily influenced by 1960s girl bands, The Beach Boys, and early punk bands, such as the Ramones, the trio crafts stripped-down songs with simple yet unconventional lyrics sung both in Japanese and EnglishThe trio maintains a distinctly garage rock sound rooted in D.I.Y aesthetics. The band has been credited with making "the international pop underground more international" by "opening it up to bands from Japan"They have released 22 albums to date.A must-see live band
