>>71932479

You posted em. Ohh, and Coffins
Ghost are ok
>>71932725
...are you serious? I'm fine with people criticizing Xinlisupreme, but that criticism is retarded. There's literally nothing remotely j-pop about them. It's basically a cross between noise rock/shoegaze and IDM.
Anything else similar to itsue?

>>71932954
So fucking good
Melt-Banana
Finally seeing them this year. Cannot wait.
It's a shame it's just two of them now because I'd loved to have seen the full band.
>>71934739
Even with just the 2 of em, they still play good. Agata just shreds
>>71932417

>>71934798
Oh, I don't doubt that they're good, I'm just disappointed that all of my favourite stuff by them was played with a full band, and it would be cool to see them. I know I'll have fun either way though.

Supercar aren't as noisy but they're shoegazy 90's indierock with some electronic elements, kind of remind me of radiohead in some of their later work.

Oh, C'MON. I've only heard their last album, but it sounded very pop. It used poppy bright synth sounds and had poppy vocals. Maybe you haven't heard it
