Fleabag - S/T Demotape

I saw this band sometime in June of this year and immediately fell in love with everything about them. Fleabag's stage presence is what you'd expect out of the rather "shy kid" ethos that they carry around. I was too intimidated to talk to their vocalist and it makes me feel like a total asshole. Their drummer used to be in Rosa (but really, they sound nothing like that). It's worth noting that there's a fuck-up in one of these songs due to tape-complications. Best three dollars I ever spent, and it's one of those albums that has gotten me through moving twice this year and experiencing heartbreak. I tend to be bad at describing things, but this could be called female-fronted kawaii/artsy/queer/pop-punk or something along those lines. Hopefully this will make you want to cuddle with a transkid with big glasses. It makes me feel okay about my social problems.

Akiakane - "Kasumisou"

Okay, so it's no surprise that I'm a total sucker for ladies in punk rock. This time up to bat, we've got Chiba, Japan's Akiakane. I first heard of this band on Asian Man Records' Plea For Peace vol 2. These little girls are FIRECRACKERS, and I love it. Imagine if the Powerpuff Girls started a punk band! Okay, maybe that was a tad general, but I swear this is exactly what it would sound like! If that doesn't appeal to you, fine. But you're missing out.
