japanese – rain contreras

Three Japanese releases stood out for me last year.

3) Te’ came out with their third album last year. They still rock real hard, but the new influences seeping into the sound needs some getting used to. The dance-rock drumming? Too much playful experimentation? If you want an intro to the awesomeness of Te’, get the second album called it is a thought to try to “sing” the realistic sound from the deeply resonated world.
