You really wouldn’t believe how many bands from provincial England are still churning out Nu-Metal on a daily basis. I know this because we here at OIB Records HQ care to take the time to listen to every single band that sends us a MySpace message or a demo in the post.

Very occasionally however we hear from someone who really isn’t that bad. When that happens we like to make a note of their MySpace page for future reference (we’ve got something big and MySpace related on the horizon for 2009) and then usually get on with our day safe in the knowledge that there are still bands worth fighting for.

Then there’s that once in a blue moon situation where out of nowhere comes a demo that’s just so incredibly demanding that you stop what your doing completely and listen in awe as your body numbs at the excitement of this new discovery. It was incredibly apparent from the very first play of his demos that Pseudo Nippon was someone very special indeed. Having subsequently checked out his live show a couple of times (it’s amazing by the way!) we were quickly convinced that we HAD to release his recordings into the world.

So it’s with great pleasure that I announce the release of the debut B 7” ‘Edamame Freakout’. Its four tracks of mad-capped Japanese inspired hardcore electro J-pop. Imagine Gay Against You or Squarepusher if they grew up in Japan, watched Manga all day long, and only ate lucky charms. Or as Pseudo Nippon himself describes it, “pop with pochinko and little beat make yes, eating in colourful”.

Due for release throughout Europe in October 2008, this 7” is going to be one beauty, cosmic, constellation surprise, that you won’t want to miss. This release will be limited to just 200 copies worldwide. No repress!

Tracklisting:
• Constellation Jebubu
• Beef Egg Revenge
• Cosmic Evan
• Fishlady

If you can’t wait until October you can hear some of the tracks from the 7” now over at the Pseudo Nippon MySpace page www.myspace.com/pseudonippon1984
