Legend In Japan
Claiming to be the bastard child of Billy Talent and The Offspring , London ’ s Legend In Japan are a bunch of rebellious knaves in an age of pop prince and princesses .
Formed last year , the band ( fronted by a somewhat familiar face ) have shared stages with the likes of OPM , Kid ’ s Can ’ t Fly and Summerlin , with festival sets at Scotland ’ s Wickerman and
Blackpool ’ s
Rebellion .
With a sound that ’ s fast paced and grimy , Legend in Japan stand aside
Loose Lips from the stereotypes of punk and beyond thanks to informed opinion , and a Rage Against The Machine level of angst and attitude .
Intense , relentless and energetic , they ’ re set to be more White Riot than Kabuki Theatre .
A pop-rock trio bound to burst from the underground of Brighton and Hove , leaving crowds dancing and jumping along the way .
With infectiously catchy tones that leave air guitar fingers twitching , the band skate around the lighter side of punk , with a love for bouncing , sweet melodies and brutally honest songwriting .
Influenced by the likes of Paramore , Biffy Clyro , John Mayer , Kids In Glass Houses , The Who and
Alkaline Trio , Loose Lips incorporate a long line of musical history into their loud and callous sound .
With a new EP , Spitting Teeth , released at the end of May , there ’ s plenty of these guys to catch up on .
