URBANGARDE (アーバンギャルド) — known for their literary lyrics, glitchy electronic textures, and subversive pop incisiveness — have just released a live video of the performance “Polkadot Holic” from their 昭和百年 野音戦争 concert.* The second title translates roughly to *“Hundred-Year Shōwa Field Music War.”
Welcome to our little corner of the internet where Japanese rock, hard rock, metal, punk, Visual Kei, and alternative idol chaos collide! This site is a passionate hobby project—currently rising from the ashes of a digital disaster of Megadeth proportions (yep, we lost data on 700 bands to a rogue black hole… RIP).
The site is now fully up and running again. New Music and New Videos are live. An updated radio show calendar is in progress, along with the news section. A webshop featuring a wide range of exclusive T-shirts is on the way. Band information will be added continuously as time allows.
Stick with us—follow on Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and YouTube—and ride the sonic wave with us! 🤘
