    The album The Blue Hearts is very excited, judging by it, the sound of the band did not please me much, but the band it's not bad, has potential.

    はやっていたのは中学生の時、修学旅行でバスの中みんなで合唱したりして当時はすごかったです。なんかミーハーだなーと思って聞きませんでした。最近やたら気になり出して手に取りました。今とても後悔しています。同じ時代を生きてきたのにこんな凄いバンドをリアルタイムで体感できなかった事に。ばかだよな〜泣

    This is very catchy pub-rock. Shame that the bio tag them as punk.

    this music is shit. i expected way more than third-rate pop punk, after all i'd heard about them.
