I've heard OF this band, but not heard there stuff.
They have an album called "Bats from Jack In A Box"... from japan.
Does anybody know any sites where i can hear some of the stuff or have any info on them?? i did a google search and just got loads of porn links lol
I have two of their cds, the first was released on an indie Japanese label entitled "Jack & the Box" and is pretty rare. They used to have a way over the top image but scaled down in the late 90's. Their music is pretty much pop with glam guitars. Pretty good but still mostly in Japanese if you dont mind.
Maybe it's just me but they reminded me of a Japanese version of Hollywood Teasze and Heart Throb Mob. I really like this band [img]smile.gif[/img]

Man, I just got Billy & The Sluts and it absolutely rocks. I think the CD I have may be self-titled... unless the title is in Japanese (which I cannot read).
I took a punt on the cd just cos of the bands picture and boy did it pay off. Sounds like heart throb mob... althouhg recorded in a studio instead of a tin shed.
Anyone know where I can get the 'bats' cd? (Original, not cdr or mp3). I WANT MORE!!!!
cheers

LINDSAY: YA SURE GOT ANY OF THE ALBUMS WITH THE A JAPANESE TITTLE AND NOT A SELFTITTLED!!!
THEIR 3 KILLER ALBUMS ARE:
From Jack in the box
Counteroffensive Of One Eyed Rabbit
February Revolution
From Jack in the box IS THEIR 1ST ALBUM AT THE END OF THE 80'S!!! THIS ALBUM HAS TO BE THE BEGGININ OF THE BUBBLEGUM GLAM ERA (TAKIN THE TOY DOLLS AS THEIR MUSIC INFLUENCE BUT BEING KIND OF PROPHETS OF WHAT PEPPERMINT CREEPS WOULD BE TEN YEAR AFTER!!! LOL!!! THE BEST SONG AND EXAMPLE OF THEIR STYLE MAY BE "Long Jenny Silver"
I.M.O. THEIR BEST IS "Counteroffensive Of One Eyed Rabbit" (THE ONE CONTAININ "LONDON NIGHT" LIKE ONE OF THE HITS) IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME STUFF BUT WITH A BETTER PRODUCTION AND A BIG EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS IN THE PLAYING/SONGWRITTIN SIDE!!! WHEN THEIR FAST BUBBLEGUMMY MEET THE 80'S GLAM METAL INJECTION OF A PBF & HTMISHED SOUNDING!!! February Revolution IS IN THE SAME DIRECTION BUT NOT AS GOOD AS PREVIOUS!!!
NOT SURE WHEN WAS RECORDED BUT THERE IS A SELF TITTLED ONE TOO WHICH SUCKS (STILL WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT BEING THE SAME BAND I DON'T THINK CUZ THERE IS NO ONLY ONE POINT OF SIMILARITY IN THE MUSIC AND IMAGE WAYS!!!) YA CAN'T LOOK AND SOUND AS HEART THROB MOB AND THEN LIKE THE BACKSTREET BOYS IN THEIR BEGGINING!!! LOL!!!
WE'LL NEED SUM JAPANESE FELLA HERE WHO CAN HELP US ON THE SEARCH BUT IF I AIN'T WRONG MAY BE 4 MORE B&TS ALBUMS COULD BE RELEASED UNDER THE NAMES OF:
JUSTICE (1995)
7TH ANNIVERSARY (A KIND OF GREATEST HITS WITH UNRELEASED BONUS)
ALL THAT BILLY (1996) (ANOHTER KIND OF GH W/MORE UNRELEASED BONUS)
AND AN 3 SONGS EP CALLED "DISTANT VALENTINE"
Well shit, now I wanna hear some too.
I HAVE TO FIND WHERE THE HELL I COULD PUT THEIR STUFF IN MY DISORDER!!! BUT I HAVE SUM SONGS IN MY HOME PC HARD DRIVE SO PROBABLY I'LL BE UPLOADING SUM OF THOSE SONGS IN FEW HOURS!!!!
ONE SONG AND JPG MINICOVER FOR EVERYONE OF THE 4 BATS ALBUMS I GOT!!! (ALL REMASTERED BY ME WITH THE EXCEPTION OF "JUSTICE") SO YA GET THE IDEA:

thanks for the info marky.
the picutre you attached above is the picture on the front cover of the cd I have. It has a red/maroon border with japanese writing in it. I cannot see an album title in English.
Do you know which album this would be?
