Top 3 Indies Videos Mar. 2, 2018! Starcrawler, Peter118, Professor and the Madmen, Samehada Shiroko & Dynamite (Jpn)!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown for Mar. 3, 2018!

And starting off the countdown today are from Los Angeles and they are a “rock, punk, power pop, and alternative rock” outfit called, “Professor and the Madman.” Their bio says, “There’s a musical adventure coming from Orange County, California and the UK, orchestrated by Professor and the Madman.” Punk Globe writes, “Sean Elliott and Alfie Agnew of D.I. and Rat Scabies and Paul Gray of the Damned have gotten together to make one hell of an album. It’s full of different sounds for different songs and each musician brings in their specialty. As a fan of D.I. and the Damned, it’s hard to explain without gushing. It’s got some definite early garage psychedelia, some pop, some rock and some punk rock.” 

I think it’s way cool. Of course, they have a Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/professorandthemadman/

Oh and there’s more to listen to at their Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/professorandthemadman

#3) Professor and the Madmen – Space Walrus:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDfxjYC-fEo

At #2 on this week’s chart is the latest from Peter118 in the UK. I hear some music rag compared Peter118 to the Sex Pistols and now people are up in arms and either loving them or hating them. 

Punx In Solidarity a Hardcore Punk Rock Blog writes: “Peter 118: Punk as F**k So a new punk band has been burning up social media and the center of some controversy. Now some may be wondering what makes a punk band controversial in 2018?”  Well, give the track a listen and you might get the answer!

They have a Facebook page too: https://www.facebook.com/Peter118UK/

#2) Peter118 – Seven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIe5uKhRz4I

At #1 this week is Starcrawler from Los Angeles! They are coming to Japan next week and all of their Tokyo shows are SOLD OUT! (See you on Tuesday!) I’ve been pushing the shit outta this band, so much so that they sent me some merchandise to giveaway on my show, “The Mike Rogers Show” This Sunday, March 4, 2018, from 5 am ~ 7 am on InterFM 897 in Tokyo and in Radio Neo 79.5 in Nagoya. It’s also on nationwide on Radiko.jp. Twitter is: #mrs897! Send us a tweet if you’d like to win a Starcrawler  a T-shirt or Tote-Bag!

Top 3 Indies Videos 10/28/17! Touts, Peter118, Rews, Van T’s, Cabbage, Vivian Boys (Jpn)!

Hey! Like cool new music and not that crap on commercial radio? Welcome! It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown of the Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of Oct. 28, 2017! While everyone and their sister are doing Halloween things, I’m gonna give you a break and just play brand new cool stuff and Spotlight an awesome Japanese band!

First up is something hot off the presses that just came out yesterday! It’s one of the hottest new bands around, The Touts! Their bio says, “Touts are a three piece band from Derry, Ireland. A singer that can’t sing, a mod that can’t play bass and a drummer that can’t see.” This is their third single. All the songs by the Touts kick ass!

Here’s their Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/toutsband/

#5) TOUTS – Bombscare  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQmdoIhnizc

At #4 is another song that just came out… Like a few hours ago. No kidding. It’ the latest by London’s own, The Rews. The Rews are aLondon/Belfast based “High Energy Alterna-Rock Pop Female Duo consisting of songstress Shauna Tohill & beat-maker vocalist Collette Williams.”

This is their latest hot wax too. Here’s their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/wearerewsmusic/

#4) REWS – Your Tears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1TMWDGpuSg

At this week’s #3 is Peter118 from Jolly Old England, Stoke-on-Trent to be exact. These guys make the chart because when we played this track on my radio show last week, Japan’s most famous DJ, George Williams stopped and said, “This is a great song!” That rarely happens (he’s picky!) Peter118 is a punk outfit with a positive message. Dig it!

Here’s their Facebook page, go Like it! https://www.facebook.com/Peter118UK/

#3) Peter118 – ‘United We Stand’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msEFa3ukrnM

The next track is another brand new one that came out, well, it came out a few hours ago also. It’s a 4-piece from Glasgow, Scotland called, The Van T’s. The Van T’s have graced our countdown two or three times in the past and I think this group is fab! Their bio says, “Formed in around 2013 by twins Hannah and Chloe, The Van T’s have already enjoyed widespread praise from blogs and radio including Bella Union honcho Simon Raymonde. This acclaim has spread outwith the UK with radio plays in France and the US.” (well, and Japan MANY dozens of times, on one of Japan’s biggest 5 radio stations, but I guess you guys don’t check your Facebook!) 😉

Facebook? Oh, yeah. Here is their’s. Go Like it:  https://www.facebook.com/TheVanTs/

#2) The Van T’s – Bittersweet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apAv_YL0C6A

At #1 is a band from Mossley. Where’s that? It’s Cabbage and this is their third appearance on the chart (after a long absence). Cabbage describe themselves as, “Apocalyptic Sprautrock.” They are just finishing up their UK tour.

Need to know more? Here’s their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cabbagelechou/

#1) Cabbage – Kevin (Skeleton Key Mix)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQtlPYceQ2o

Spotlight Artist!  Today’s spotlight artists are the Vivian Boys. The Vivian Boys are a Tokyo based Japanese garage band. AND THEY ARE FUCKING HOT!!!!! I think the first time I ever played them on the radio here was about 10 years ago and people loved them. They claim to be inspired by Sonics, Shangri-Las, Velvet Underground, British MOD, Nancy Sinatra, and New York Punk.

Of course, the Vivian Boys have a Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/vivianboys2013/

Spotlight Artist! VIVIAN BOYS – S.O.S. ( various gigs ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZBRc7yqOCw

Top 3 Videos 9/2/17! Twinkles, Neatbeats, Peter118, Mr. Diagonal!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown of the Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of Sept 3, 2017! And, folks, I have some REALLY great stuff for you today. Especially this week’s #1. I promise that you will really love or hate this stuff. DISCLAIMER: To all my CIA or MI5 readers: I just write these countdowns & stuff, OK? I do not make these songs or videos. Oh and, I do not know where these people live either so please do not come looking for me. I know nothing! Nothing!

First up are the Twinkles and their newest hit song! The Twinkles are from Italy! Their bio says: “The Twinkles are a nice melodic ’77 punk band from Castelfranco Veneto, Italy. Behind the lyrics and the music is frontman Nick Mess who keeps the image and the style of ’77 punk still alive. A lot of fans already know their songs after many successful gigs all over Europe. Their songs are inspired by the likes of the Ramones, so there is just no way to NOT love them.”

Of course they have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/thetwinkles/

#3) The Twinkles – I Don’t Wanna Wake No More All Alone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Lex0co4ZVI

At #2 is the newest from Stoke-on-Trent in the UK, Peter118! Peter118 is a punk band that brings a positive message. Today track was just released on August 31 and it is available on the ‘In Stereo’ EP split with No Lost Cause.

This is at least the 3rd time for Peter118 to be on the charts with us ($th or 5th time?)… Of course, Peter118 has a Facebook page. Go check it! https://www.facebook.com/Peter118UK/

#2) Peter118 – ‘Wasting’   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GodBzuR9T-A

At this week’s #1 is a fantastic song and video by my former friends, Mr. Diagonal and Ken. Now, normally, if these guys made a video without me, I’d be upset… But not this time…. Today’s number one video is truly an amazing artistic statement and, frankly speaking, takes a lot of guts. I think the Powers That Be usually eliminate people for making stuff like this… So, well, it’s been nice knowing you guys… Before you are “disappeared” I thought I’d honor you by placing this excellent and disturbing video at this week’s #1. It’s Mr. Diagonal and the song is called “Diana.”

Of course, Mr. Diagonal has a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mrdiagonal/

#1) Mr. Diagonal / Diana  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWLXBerL4yw

Spotlight Artist!  Today’s spotlight are a band that I consider to be Japan’s best Beat Band. They are known as the Neatbeats! I am dead serious when I say that the Neatbeats are the most fun and entertaining concert I have ever seen in my life and I’ve seen a lot of concerts. They are starring in Ghostroads – A Japanese Rock n Roll Ghost Story. They are the Neatbeats!

I love the Neatbeats. With Ghostroads – A Japanese Rock n Roll Ghost Story, the Neatbeats are destined to become one of Japan’s most famous bands of all time. If you get a chance to see these guys, you HAVE to go. Oh! And the hot girl in the video? That’s Mina Shirakawa who also stars in “Ghostroads – A Japanese Rock n Roll Ghost Story.” (Please go “Like” the Ghostroads FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Japaneserocknrollghost/)

Here’s the Neatbeats Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/theneatbeats/

Spotlight Artist!  The NEATBEATS – Snakey Baby   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1L3leqBg-8

And speaking of Ghostroads! Ghostroads – A Japanese Rock n Roll Ghost Story hits theaters in Japan on Sept. 30, 2017. AND we’ve been selected by Raindance Film Festival in London. Raindance has been ranked as one of the “Top 10 Most Prestigious Film Festivals in the World.

Ghostroads – A Japanese Rock n Roll Ghost Story will world premiere in London on Sept. 25 and once again on Sept. 28 at Vue West End (Leicester Square) (3 Cranbourn Street, WC2H 7 London, United Kingdom) Tickets are available here: https://raindance.ticketsolve.com/shows/873578421

It’s Top 3 Video time! The best of the Top 3 videos for May 14, 2016!

First up is a punk band from Stoke-on-Trent in England. “What’s a ‘Stoke-on-Trent’?” you say? Well, according to Wikipedia, it’s a city in Staffordshire, England with an area of 36 square miles. The band’s name is Peter118 and it is fronted by a gentleman named Peter James Field. This is their second time on our countdown. Go “Like” their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Peter118UK/?pnref=lhc

#3) Peter118 – ‘Need You More’ ft. Lisa Cox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ABZpJF4dvs

At #2 is a band that has been getting weekly airplay on my FM radio show (that’s me at the far right) WTF? on InterFM 897. (Please come “Like” our FB page: https://www.facebook.com/WhattheFunday76.1/?fref=ts). The band is a trio from Melbourne, Australia and their name is “Lucy’s Crown.”  Lucy’s Crown describes themselves as a Grunge/Alternative outfit and I think we’ll be seeing more of them on the countdown soon.

This is their 4th time on our Top 3 and the second time this year! They will be opening many shows for Placebo in 2016 so be on the lookout for them coming to a town near you. These guys are HOT!

This Week’s Top 3 Videos & Su凸ko D凹koi (May 4, 2015)

It’s time once again for this week’s Top 3 Videos. The Top New Artist Videos for the week of May 4, 2015. From a few weeks ago, I’ve been asking artists to send in submissions and I have been getting a lot. Thanks. Remember that if you hit this Top 3 Videos list, you also automatically get aired on my extremely popular morning show in Japan. WTF? (What the Funday). So send ’em in. (Please “Like” our radio show FB page: https://www.facebook.com/WhattheFunday76.1?ref=hl)

I’ve been getting so many that I am thinking about making the Top 3 Videos twice a week; the weekday edition and then a new weekend edition, so keep sending in those Top 3 videos!

First up is Peter118. Peter118 is a guy from the UK named Peter Field. He used to be a bass player  in the punk rock band ‘senseless’ and has been in punk rock for 10 years.

#3) Peter118 – “Break ‘Em Out” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82iG5HDHfa0

It’s now the Golden Week holidays in Japan so the entire country has come to a grinding halt. Well, so will you when you watch this next video. It’s Freak Show time folks! This next band are a bunch of guys from Hawaii including their lead vocalist, a crazy mo-fo named Robbie Quine, and the band name is the Barbarellatones. It is rumored that Robbie won the Miss Hawaii championship only to be disqualified because he was a half. Half what? I’m not sure. I think he might be half space alien and half meatloaf. But don’t let me influence you, watch the video and decide for yourself. (Warning: This video might not be safe for work, watching in front of your mother, or anywhere near “normal people.” If there is ANY RISK AT ALL OF RAISED EYEBROWS DO NOT CLICK ON THE VIDEO BELOW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

#2) The Barbarellatones, Get Your Freak On https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPeSddm0njs

Keeping up the Freak Show theme, next up is a wild new group called, Du Blonde. Here’s what their Facebook says:

Beth Jeans Houghton was born in Transylvania to a pack of albino wolves who raised her on chewing tobacco and stuffed clams. Despite they’re hospitality, love conquers all and she soon eloped to scotch corner with her shiny new stallion peter Andre. Beth was his mysterious girl for as long as she could be, but sadly he yearned for bigger baps. taking the wrong end of his tanned stick she searched up and down the Parisian market stalls for the biggest loaf’s she could find, but alas, when she returned home, he was gone. He is currently residing somewhere in the vicinity Jordan’s breasts. Beth was gutted……Until one day, she was on a family holiday with her albino wolves in Buttermere in the Lake District. (Read more here: https://www.facebook.com/DuBlondeOfficial/info?tab=page_info)

This band is hot!

#1) Du Blonde – Black Flag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoZrQrgwtB4

Finally, it’s time for today’s freebie. I’ve written about this three girl band before. Their name is Su凸ko-D凹koi (Su Ko D Koi). I saw them at rehearsal a few months back and liked them so much, we decided to make their promotion video. Here is that video!

This is the second time they are on the Top 3 Videos countdown. Today, they appear again because they were written up in a magazine called, Tokyo Walker.

Su Ko D Koi in Tokyo Walker - Su Ko D Koi in Tokyo Walker

Su Ko D Koi in Tokyo Walker – Su Ko D Koi in Tokyo Walker

Tokyo Walker is, by far, the biggest and most influential “Places to go and things to do” magazine in all of Tokyo (Gee, that’s well over 35 million households too!). I guess the people who write for Tokyo Walker saw the video we made of the girls (as well as hearing them on the radio) and liked it so much, they included the girl’s in this week’s issue in the CD Review section. Waaaaay cool!

She sings,

“Ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly…. I know I am ugly….

But, I got a boyfriend and we have been going out.

But one day, out of the blue, he hit me for no reason.

I woke up in the hospital and he had his head in his hands.

Then he was gone….

But, I finally was able to realize that finally, he treated me like a woman!

I was happy!”

Once again, this song’s lyrics are sort of like that old Crystals song, “He Hit Me and it Felt Like a Kiss.”

These girls are HOT! And they are happening now!

Have a great day!
