POLYSICS Album: “Polysics or Die!!!!”

This is not the deep music you think about, this is made for having a happy hyper time. Don't dwell on it, just groove with it. Urge on!! and Each life each end are some of the most addictive electro-punk music you'll ever hear, and they're cover of the knack's my sharona is definately worth a listen, as is the original, the knack doesn't get enough credit; But I digress, the entire album is worth giving a shot, and if you can appreciate it a buy.

The Polysics are musical and this CD is definitely worth buying. Just because people don't look all depressed and unshaven don't mean they aint deep. Polysics are HELLA deep. Musically speaking Polysics are great musicians also. Anyone writing a bad review probably just hasn't listen to them enough. I think this band is impossible to stop. Soon, VERY soon you will see Polysics everywhere. They just ROCK!!! ... in a way people don't ROCK anymore. you can never stop ROCK!!!

What can I say about this band? My band opened for them in a little club in my hometown of Wilkes Barre, PA. My bandmates and I had no idea what to expect from these crazy looking Japanese people in matching red jumpsuits and radiated sunglasses. That was...until they started playing. And oh god how good it was! From their high power intro, to their spastic robot cover of the Knack's "My Sharona", to their cheerleader on speed singing, to the very last synth line I was blown away. It was like everything campy and fun about 80's synth pop(especially their huge influence from Devo)but yet something odd which sounded 10 years in the future. They had punk energy and chunked up guitars. They sang some of the songs through a vocoder. Their keyboard player (who is a girl, along with the bassist) played her synths and keyboards like a robot. It was like dancy/electronic punk music with barely understandable Japanese vocals with Engrish lyrics. I danced my ass for their whole set. All I can say is, check these chaps out. And watch out for them to make some kind of impact in '06.
