BLEACH (ブリーチ, burīchi)
Also: Bleachmobile, Bleach03, Bleach 03. There were trademark infringement problems outside Japan.
“Three Japanese girls from Okinawa, young and small, but they make a very large explosive roar.”
Note that the guy in the quilted jacket below is not a giant
.
L to R: Miya: Bass, vocals, growling/shrieking; Kanna: Guitar, vocals, perpetual knit hat; Sayuri: Drums, chorus
Some of us are never going to be able to like this band. But, like a cyclone, they surpass likes and dislikes. Between 2000 and 2009, Bleach recorded six studio albums, came to the US five times, and burned out.
They are metalcore in spirit: hard, sharp, fast, controlled… merciless. There are aspects of skate-punk, alt-rock, rap, funk, swing… celtic, slavic and Spanish dances… “Challenge” from 2005 is a pop ballad. They have an Oi! cover version of AC/DC’s “T.N.T.” They’re versatile, well-rounded, even. For hardcore thrash!
Sometimes sounding like The Red Hot Chili Peppers; sometimes like Slayer; sometimes like a funky Melt Banana. Rated S for Screaming.

1. (00:08) “Samurai Jungle”
2. (02:45) “Rock is Calling”
3. (05:30) “The Head That Controls Both Right And Left Sides Eats Meats And Slobbers Even Today”
4. (08:45) “Not Peter”
5. (11:20) “Torch”
I’m going easy on you, this is an afternoon all-ages show in a retail shopping district. The sticker on Miya’s bass is a plug for Lozen, their label-mates on Australian Cattle God Records late of Austin, TX. Look at Kanna, she almost goes down like a dropped puppet as the clip ends. Twenty-minute set, and staggering by the close. {Not the only example. The reason might be that when she plays, she locks her knees in a half-crouch. That gives you a vee you can clamp your guitar into to keep it from swinging around, but after the numbness goes away... what a burn.}

— “So, in Okinawa, you say you take it easy. Where does the reckless energy in your music come from?”
— “It could be that, deep down, we're really dark and negative.” (Laughter, thigh-slapping. Good one, Miya!)
Torch (Live)
Upped by WD on 2006 Oct 19
Segment from a show back in Okinawa, at Club Fujiyama Live House.
Club Fujiyama is a western-oriented bar and metal club in the entertainment district catering to US military.
The complete 9-minute video was released on a companion DVD to their last Japanese album.
The banner toward the rear of the stage reads in English, “APPLAUSE YOU RUDE BASTARDS”.
By repute, Club Fuji can get rough when different service branches mix with each other,
and with representatives of the local economy.

Three little Okinawan girls will do everything in their power to thrash you TO DEATH.
Your job is to hang on and stay with it. Yes, it’s just like a rodeo — bull-riding.
