  • out in the streetOut In The Street – Angel Face (Slovenly Recordings)

    Catchier than the Tokyo subway, “Out In The Street” is the second album for Tokyo’s Angel Face, and any fan of Real Kids or The Boysneeds a copy – pronto. It’s 10 songs of no-nonsense, melodic street punk that the world deserves to hear.

    I caught these guys in the flesh at the Tokyo Halloween Ball a couple of years ago and they were impressive over a weekend that delivered an embarrassment of riches. That may have been one of their earliest gigs because Angel Face have only been around a few years.

    They’ve already put another long-player, a European festival date and a short US tour under their belts. Hercules (vocals), Fink (guitar), Toyozo(bass) and Rayco(drums) have the Japanese work ethic and their productivity would put most of their overseas contemporaries in a cardiac ward.
