| 4:48pm | Usotsuki Barbie (嘘つきバービー) | | | | Somewhere between the raw edge of Zazen Boys and the upbeat party atmosphere of The Telephones lies Nagasaki's Usotsuki Barbie. Formed in 2002, the three piece band has only released a couple of short EPs, first in 2007 then another in 2008. Just as jarring as their angular, slightly bluesy yet firmly... |
