Another scorching album from red-hot Brooklyn-based guitar-drums-and vocals duo JAPANTHER, and a ferocious blast of stripped-down, mash-rock intensity. Infectious beatdowns get bloodied by unpredictable chaos, unchained punk has its throat torn out by dance rhythm talons. Ears bleed, hearts are lifted, and spines snap from their banging heads. For fans of Lightning Bolt, Pink & Brown, and the like. Will tour until all have perished.

Master of Pigeons brings you 14 new tracks recorded over the past year. Japanther sort of call this album 'their positive album' even though some of the songs are straight up noise, punk, and misunderstood ride your bike anthems, there is a decidedly cheery feel to some (some) of the songs; more than anything, they just want you to go and actually do something fun with your time.. but wait, are Japanther now all softies? Nah, they are still unpredictable as ever, and have the tour stories to prove it   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Japanther's always been a band of contrasts. They exist halfway in the world of performance art, and halfway in that of DIY punk. They get called to compose and perform soundtracks to puppet rock operas and then do a tour comprising largely house shows. They get funded to curate huge video/dance/music shows for well known New York Museums, and then release their music only via DIY/independent labels. Keeping that tradition of contrast alive the lads have teamed up with (Crass co-founder) Penny   [ read more ]

Japanther are the Brooklyn noise-fuzz duo, formed as a senior project while the two participants were completing art school. While they often refer to themselves as "more of an art project than a band" Japanther gets points for making some of the most memorable, hummable and fun music of any art project in recent memory. Japanther is part Screamers intensity, part Misfits anthemery, part RZA samples/beats and part Lightning Bolt art/freakshow.
