very hip dance punk. both bands sound like they could have been all the rage at andy
warhol's factory. come on, don't act like you don't know... infectious bouncy beats, all kinds
of weird instruments, a bit on the hysterical side. all the fuckers that used to listen to
hardcore and hang out in hip galleries now will dig this. does it mean it's not good? fuck no!

THE GOOD GOOD aus new york mit avantgardistischem noiserock mit female vocals,
DEERHOOF und UZEDA lassen grüßen. JAPANTHER wie gewohnt mit überdrehtem und
unkonventionellem artcore, rockt!
review by flight 13
THE GOOD GOOD (great band name, by the way) is a fairly new band from brooklyn, new
york. the good good is a trio but the range of instruments used on this recording is endless.
the basic setup consists of bass, guitar and drums, but there's also triangle, megaphone,
clarinet, accordion ... actually anything that makes a sound is an instrument for this
crazygang. JAPANTHER's music best describedas experimental. each track ranges from
hip-hop beats and sampling, tocinematic instrumentals, to angry, pounding, screaming, fuck
you garagerock.
review by per koro
released for their european tour, this LIMITED EDITION split-single features 4 tracks of
JAPANTHER's crazy smashing, art-damaged noise-punk, and one funky swinging song by
THE GOOD GOOD.
review by x-mist
i bought this when both bands played at the west berlin club which is a very strange
run-down building with low ceilings. [monika’s] uta heller told me about the fantastic
JAPANTHER and that i have to see them - a crazy drummer singing through a telephone,
and a bass player. it was worth it, like the RAMONES in 2010. and i very much liked THE
GOOD GODD, kind of like the no new york thing in the ‘80s. art-rock, or whatever you
wanna call it.
