Other than that, Tokyo Ska Parade and Ore Ska Band are good and The Scandals have their moments, but mostly they all drop in quality PRETTY substantially as you dig through their stuff.

No need to thank me. It is a fact!

True enough, makes me wonder why they were labeled as metal/garage/punk/rock. I guess they get their inspiration, a bit in each genre, even though it's not always obvious. I'm clueless to music genre since people tends to mix many genres in a tune. To me, as long as it sounds awesome to my ears, even if it's not pure metal or punk, I'll enjoy it.

Just how I am I guess!

Potshot is a pretty good Ska/punk band. Coquettish is a rather good ska influenced band as well.I also dig a few celtic punk bands, or Rustic Stomp as its also called: Royal Shamrock and The Cherry Coke$ come to mind.

And midknigt, I'm the same way. When you get in to the sub-sub genres such Blackened Crust, or Stenchcore, the lines between genres are blurred quite a bit.

EDIT by Ai: Nudity on a PG-13 board? I don't think so.

You really should "spoiler" that... The image is totally not safe for work...

My problem with Potshot is the singer, it just sounds like mumbled insanity.

If it counts, I sorta like MAXIMUM THE HORMONE. My cousin really likes this group, though. He likes that group more than I do. Pretty cool. Also like other Japanese groups already mentioned to some extent, like say L'Arc (butI prefer early L'Arc) and Dir en Grey (well, a little bit). Can we name off Visual Kei stuff? Does that count?

Yeah, Visual-Kei counts I suppose. Some of it is kinda punk/metal. I don't really like any of it though.
Friday night I saw the garage rock/punk band Guitar Wolf. Saturday, I saw the first US show and the last show ever by Kriegshög. Both amazing bands.

Mmmm, nice to see other people favouring the J-punck/metal.
As for me...I also like the j-pop/rock but about what concerns the punck/metal, I go for Maximum the Hormone, Gazette, Plastic Tree and SCANDAL mostly

Guitar Wolf's already been mentioned, but I thought I'd say that I enjoy that band as well.

Favorite Japanese metal band is Sigh. Love the album Imaginary Sonicscape most of all; probably my favorite metal album alongside Solefald's In Harmonia Universali.
