aya_vnv Back in the mid 90s, when I was in my early 20s, I had tough times dealing with depression bouts and diminished will to live. Shonen Knife, a new discovery for me then, was the only thing that would make me feel better at times, and my go to band for that purpose. I love the band ever since, and Adventure is one of their greats. I've been listening to Imi (emoji) non-stop for the past few days! Favorite track: ImI (Emoji).

about

Japanese cult pop punk trio Shonen Knife celebrate their 35th Anniversary this year with a brand new album Adventure (out on 1 April via Damnably). They will be hitting the road for their most extensive UK and Eire tour in April, which includes a slot at the Stewart Lee curated All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival.

Formed in Osaka by guitarist and chief songwriter Naoko in 1981, Japan’s Shonen Knife rose from humble DIY beginnings crafting their own idiosyncratic songs, and fashioning their own brightly coloured outfits, to sharing a stage with Nirvana on their Nevermind tour, trailblazing a path for women in music and inspiring legions of bands.

For this, their 19th album, original drummer Atsuko returns to play bass, joining Naoko (vocals + guitar) and relative newcomer Risa on drums, whilst some bass parts were provided by regular member Ritsuko (who is on maternity leave) and Naru, from "Mummy The Peepshow". This is the first 5 Knife member album.
