SCANDAL from Osaka are one of the biggest bands in Japan.
Consisting of Haruna Ono (Vocal & Guitar) Mami Sasazaki (Guitar and Vocal) Tomomi Ogawa (Bass and Vocal) and Rina Suzuki (Drum, Vocal and Keys ) — they’ve been touring and recording since 2006.
Their seventh studio album “YELLOW ” was released in March this year…
This album includes the overtly poppy number “Love Me Do.” Despite it being more Spice Girls than Ramones it nevertheless has some woo-woo gushibility and all-round cheeriness that reminds us of the 1960s Mersey Beat sounds.
“Stamp” — also on the album — is a thumper. The rhythms and general mood, though sexy and female-centric will never spark any r-r-riot. However, it is clever and hypnotic.
SCANDAL are in Europe this week…
