Japanese noise wobble banding Melt Banana stand more success in the U.S. and the U.K. than in their have rural area, gaining a chagrin just now dedicated fan bag among American and European punk swag fans. Although their euphony sounds observably different from any variety of traditional firing, it contains some punk elements: shrieking vocals, overdriven guitars, and one-and-a-half-minute songs. Melt Banana's unique expressive style, withal, comes as a issue of the distinctly knifelike vocals of lead singer Yasuko O., as goodness as the frenetic, effect-charged performing of guitar role player Agata.

Melt down Banana has capitalized on this phenomenon hard, in their marketing as well as on their albums. As time passes, their overshadowing influence is comme il faut more and more discernible inside the cultish chase of the noise-core movement. However, it is the band's unbelievable stiffness and angry sound that has gained them the about recognition. Their shockingly intense live shows ar that of absolute caption, with many fans divergence sweaty and spent, and Yasuko O. oft persevering through nosebleeds.

Agata and O. coupled bassist Rika in 1992, and they played as a common chord until later that year when drummer Sudoh Toshiaki coupled the grouping. In 1994 they mark with British label Chocolate Monk, and that pronounce released unrivalled title, Cactuses Come in Flocks, which was made available at beginning only on cassette magnetic tape. They later sign to Skin Graft and released their second album that yr, Speak Squeaker Creaking, followed by Scratch or Stitch in 1995. Scratch or Stitch was recorded and mixed by Chicago van edgar Lighthorse Harry Lee Edgar Lee Masters Steve Albini and Jim O'Rourke, and showcases or so of Meld Banana's c. H. Best sour.

After cathartic a heavy turn of split releases on diverse labels, late in 1997 Melt Banana started their have label, A-Zap Records. Toshiaki take leave behind the dance orchestra the following calendar month and was afterward replaced with Oshima from Satanic Perdition Massacre. In 1998, the band released Charlie, with Albini playing as producer erst more, and elective to up the ante by adding a variety register of guests (including Mr. Bungle's Mike Patton and Trevor Dunn). This attracted the attention of chap Bollix dissonance experimentalist John Zorn, reality Health Arrangement captured one of their unwarranted shows for his label Tzadik that year, on the dot before Thaw Banana returned to the studio to phonograph record the typically deranged Weeny Shiny in 2000.

6 more schism records and a Flake session by and by, they released 2003's Cell-Scape, which focused more on slowly building the bawling screeches into a rocketing violence.
