Number Girl: School Girl Distortional Addict

Back in 2005/2006 I discovered Number Girl on Myspace and songs off of School Girl Distortional Addict happened to be the first tunes I heard. Perhaps its nostalgia, but this is their best album in my opinion and a significant improvement over their first. Great music, great album cover, great everything. Enjoy!

Also, its very clear to me how much that Green Day's American Idiot opening riff sounds slightly reminiscent of the opening riff to "日常に生きる少女" but, that riff pretty much sounds like every Pixies song....so cest la vie.

Number Girl: School Girl Bye Bye

Number Girl was a four piece japanese alt rock outfit spawning out of Fukouka in 1995. This is their debut, released independently in 1997. I would describe their early sound as something in between the Pixes and Sonic youth with more of a 90's pop punk edge, but it began to evolve as time progressed! The group disbanded in 2002, but most of the members are still active in other projects, particularly lead singer Shutoku Mukai's band Zanzen Boys. Check it and if you like what ya hear, there will be more to come! Enjoy!
