from brainwashed.com :Japanese punksters Melt Banana might be pop fans at heart, but they'd rather play loud and fast than sing karaoke like the other kids at school. They have been recording and touring for ten years, leaving people like Brainwashed contributor Jonathan Dean hurt and injured in the ensuing rawkus that erupts at their shows. The shows are intense and the songs are lightning fast and quick and it was an honor to have some one-on-one time with singer Yako.
