The Back Horn

The Back Horn is a Japanese rock band I recently discovered.

The band got started around April in 1998, when the original members all came to Tokyo from the countryside where they all lived, all for different reasons. They met, and decided to start a band. First called Gyorai, they soon changed their name to The Back Horn.

(via Wikipedia)

Some of their songs start out pretty weird, but most I end up thinking are OK. They remind me a bit of Asian Kung-Fu Generation though.

Here are a couple of noteworthy songs I like so far:

Kiseki

Black Hole Birthday

UPDATE: Updated the post with Youtube links instead of the files I had embedded from my own server. They were using too much bandwith for my liking.
