Manic Sheep - La La La

Manic Sheep is an indie-rock band from Taipei, Taiwan. We incorporate a wide range of genres, shoegaze and noise rock.

Lyrics - La La La

I ,
come to here,
sitting down,
looking around

You,
on the stage,
looking at me,
then I feel like

Lalalala, she doesn't like me
Lalalala, she don't look at me
Lalalala, but I don't want you
Lalalala, but I don't want you

Like Thunder Like Rain is the first single off of Le Voir's Dualities After Dark, a collection of new and old songs, re-imagined acoustically.


While Le Voir became known for their electronic sound with the release of Dualities in 2016, the groups follow up EP, Dualities After Dark, showcases a more intimate portrayal of the trio. Songs like Gravity and Darker In The Morning are re-imagined as acoustic and orchestral arrangements that draw more emotion than their initial sonic focus. New songs such as the EP's first single, Like Thunder Like Rain, are reminiscent of 90s groups Mazzy Star and and REM. Due out in April 2018, Dualities After Dark promises a new perspective from Le Voir.

Lyrics: - Horizon
Sadness sipping through my pores
Sinking a little deeper to the ground
Sadness sipping through my pores
Sinking a little deeper to the ground

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again
Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

I’m fading, falling
Waiting, to begin
Drifting, turning
Crossed it, so burn it
Searching, frowning
Drowning, sink in
Make it in crisis
Is it love or fear

Sadness sipping through my pores
Sinking a little deeper to the ground
Sadness sipping through my pores
Sinking a little deeper to the ground

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

I’m fading, falling
Waiting, to turn in
Rushing, towards it
Crossed it, so burn it

Feels like, coming
Loudness of crushing
You’re breathtaking
Is it love or fear

Sadness sipping through my pores
Sinking a little deeper to the ground
Sadness sipping through my pores
Sinking a little deeper to the ground

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

Soon this pain will end
Soon it will start again

GLIM SPANKY - 「愚か者たち」

GLIM SPANKY - 「愚か者たち」

GLIM SPANKY's new Music Video [愚か者たち]
 Director: Kensuke Kawamura
Producers: Glim Spanky, Kensuke Kawamura
Composers: Remi Matsuo, Junji Ishiwatari
Copyright: (C) 2018 UNIVERSAL MUSIC LLC

Vocalist/guitarist Remi Matsuo (born December 7, 1991) and guitarist Hiroki Kamemoto (August 24, 1990) organized this rock unit.

Remi Matsuo was attending high school in Nagano prefecture in 2007 when she put together GLIM SPANKY to play at a school festival. Later, Kamemoto, an upperclassman of Matsuo’s from the same high school, joined the group. Other members left the band to continue their education, and for other reasons, and the current configuration was formed.

After the band made it to the finals of the Senko Riot band contest, known as a gateway to success for teenage bands in Japan, and suddenly received a great deal of attention from the music industry, they made the move to Tokyo. After releasing the mini album MUSIC FREAK in 2013 from an independent label, they made their major debut in 2014 from Universal Music’s Virgin Music label with the mini album SHOSO [Impatience]. Later, the band began showing signs of long-selling potential, as Remi Matsuo’s cover of Janis Joplin’s MOVE OVER became much talked about when it was used for a television commercial for the Suzuki Wagon R Stingray, and the band’s first album, SUNRISE JOURNEY, released on July 22, 2015, reached #3 on the iTunes Rock Album Ranking. This year, the band performed on the Red Marquee stage for the first time at the Fuji Rock Festival, Japan’s largest rock festival, and even though it was a morning performance, the band rocked a large crowd that filled the venue.

The band’s distinctive qualities are Matsuo’s bluesy and powerful vocals, and Kamemoto’s commanding presence on the guitar. While paying homage to the golden age of authentic rock, their collection of songs infused with a youthful essence and teeming with originality have received high praise from many of Japan’s top musicians and celebrated cultural personalities.

The band members’ ambition is to present their Japanese-language songs to the world at large. Currently, they are one of the up-and-coming rock bands getting the most attention in Japan.

The Suzan - Desire MV

The Suzan - Desire MV

The Suzan is a pop-rock band from Tokyo, Japan formed in 2004 by sisters Rie (keyboards and vocals) and Saori (guitar and vocals). Their sound has been variously described as riot-grrl, pop and punk, and also incorporates elements of jazz, soul, surf and dance music. After releasing an EP Suzan Kingdom (2004) and an LP Suzan Galaxy (2007) on Japanese indie label ROSE RECORDS, The Suzan toured throughout Europe creating an army of fans wherever they played.
Their irresistible charm captivated Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, whom they convinced to produce their album with a MySpace message. The resulting LP Golden Week For The Poco Poco Beat (2010) found its way to tastemaker indie label Fool’s Gold who released the album worldwide.

The first single “Home” captured high praise for its unique blast of fun with it’s sweetly funky, hard-to-pin-down pop. THE SUZAN have since earned a reputation as one of the most unique groups out there. Even THE SUZAN’s cover versions of songs from bands like Miike Snow and The Strokes have created a viral buzz on Twitter with stars like Mark Ronson and Amanda Palmer raving about them.

Since camping in New York in 2011, THE SUZAN have built their fanbase from their exciting live show with tours with bands like Chromeo, Peter Bjorn and John, Titus Andronicus, Datarock, and Zambri.

The Yttling-produced EP Doki Doki Sounds was released in July, 2017 via Swedish label INGRID, and a second EP will follow in the fall of 2017.

Ansonia - ULTRASENSITIVE

Ansonia - ULTRASENSITIVE

ULTRASENSITIVE is a four-song introduction to the indie electropop duo Ansonia. Only a year old, the duo has already established a unique style in electronic pop music and in live performance. With Charlie playing electronic instruments through Ableton Live, and Ryan playing electric guitar, Ansonia has created a musical juxtaposition rarely seen in this genre.


The opening track "Rest of Me" starts off the EP with a bang, asking the questions about ourselves that we don't like to admit we consider. The combination of deeply personal lyrical material and bouncy instrumentation creates Ansonia's distinctive tone, that the duo likes to call "depressing dance music." ULTRASENSITIVE's tracks "Dare" and "Weighing Me Down" carry this same conflicted yet comforting energy further into the EP. The duo's production style shines through in these two tracks, featuring vocal sampling and lush electronic instrumentation. To close the EP, "Marble Floors" strips away everything but one voice and one electric guitar, to tell a story that needs nothing more.
From front to back, Ansonia has used ULTRASENSITIVE as a means to explore the hardships that shape us into complex and beautiful human beings, and to show that it's alright not to be alright. Say hello to Ansonia.

Emily Pu - Cover - The Cranberries - Zombie



Dolores O’Riordan, a singer whom I admired and learnt from most during my college years, she had inspired me deeply; her unique voice goes straight into my heart always. I had a tiny wish, I will save money for flying to her concert someday; I can’t see her anymore even now I’ve got it all ready. “Rest In Peace” my deepest inspiration, Dolores O’Riordan.
