From Fukuoka, Japan comes BO-PEEP, a 3-piece all-girl band with raging guitar distortion, wave-riding bass, new-style, blind-power druming, and heartfelt melodies! This music rams into you full steam ahead, with thoughtful lyrics and a a buzz that leaves you wanting to hear more.
"Respect" for genres or musical ancestry doesn't mean to simply continue on and easily succeed through time-tested formulas. Respect is to absorb, digest, evolve and keep sublimating the band to find a higer musical ground. Superficial 'respect' just blocks evolution. Respect for the members of BO-PEEP (Yoshimura, Nakano, Himei) consists of achieving the extreme rock purity that is the fruit of their instinctive drive.
The BO-PEEP girls grew up in the generation of grunge (Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.) and they paint from that colorful musical palette. But to the truth, as for the essence of their style, one could say that late 60s, early 70s punk and rock (say, the Stooges, or Patti Smith) is their backbone. And from this geneology, and the universality of rock itself, they've been carving out a new direction.
In addition to this, the music drives the poetic lyricism of Mika Yoshimura, who writes with a desperate belief in a light that will guide her out from the chaotic monotony of everday life; that can scream and be heard from the abyss of easy Japanese popular and traditional music. With this cry come the BO-PEEPs, who want not sheep, but passionate, screaming music fans!
