they're sort of "undescribable"...sometimes get pigeonholed as a "noise" band.
I got one album, forget which one, but could never really get into it...probably should give them another chance!
Do they have a recent album out or anything?

know 'em yeah, I know 'em -- literally!
way back in '95 the company I was doing post-production / video game work for had the Boredoms do the soundtrack and I was lucky enough to get the job of hand-painting (rotoscope) the music video that we shot. Yeesh...
Cool people, but not as cool as DEVO

whoa KW, thats rad! their earlier stuff is more "noisey" than the later, which is a lot more coherent. vision creation newsun is a great more recent album.

i have seen melt banana 3 or 4 times over the years. the last time being with fantamos, i wouldn't say I "listen" to them, but they are entertaining to watch.
i have been way into boris and dmbq lately though as far as japanese stuff goes.

I like the incredibly spastic sound that they achieve, although if I listened to them all the time, I would be bound become completely psychotic.
Merzbow is another interesting Japanese artist, but one who sometimes needs to be listened to in limited amounts at a time.
