They've released four 7-inches, five CDs and two LPs, 16 tours, travelled the world, done a soundtrack for a puppet show... performed on street corners, in art galleries, people's bedrooms, bathrooms, showy ballrooms, under freeways, on boats... so on and so on... Japanther are possibly NY's most inspiring DIY punk rock group.
They run their own record label (Tapes Records), promote their own shows, fund their own tours. They also run their own lives and they do it well.
Sounding like a car crash gone to a disco... it's fast, chaotic, fun, danceable, political punk rock at it's best. We're glad to say (and not bashful to self promote) that Japanther will be releasing their newly recorded album in Australia with exclusive bonus tracks on Exo Records in March to go along with a March tour to our lovely dry shores... So if you missed them the last time, you can get them then...
