Most of the songs on myspace come from their self-titled album. Some of their songs are light and fluffy while others are abrasive and psychedelic. My favorites are the ones with boy-girl vocals like &#;I Think About You.&#;

My second favorite record label announced a new band signing and a slew of good Turntable Films and Hotel Mexico news last weekend.  Like all cool bands their first release will be on a dead format.

Friends is a band of 3 people from Kobe and Osaka.  They were inspired by The Beach Boys and surf music.  Second Royal will release Friends&#; debut casette tape Young Days Forever by the end of they year. Four of the tracks were already available on their demo (download for free at bandcamp or SoundCloud) and two will be new.

Their music can be best be described as lo-fi surf pop. The swirling guitars are a lot of fun but the vocals sound like they were recorded under water. &#;Since I Made A Mistake&#; and &#;We&#;ll Never Stay Together&#; both come from their demo while &#;I Think I Love You&#; (download for free at Second Royal&#;s SoundCloud) is new.  There&#;s not a whole lot of difference in sound quality between the new and old tracks, but it&#;s safe to say a cassette release would be natural for this band.  The retro vibe of Friends will have you longing for days on the beach.

PeopleJam is a dance-rock-funk band from Tokyo seeking the next groove.  Jik and Ken (also of DirtyMindArkestra) formed PeopleJam in   Thom and Mzn joined in and Hrn in   They&#;ve hosted a free style dance event called JAMSTAND! in and and are currently recording an album.

The first six songs on PeopleJam&#;s myspace follow the same kind of dance-funk formula.  The vocals are all run through a vocoder and are highly reminiscent Eiffel 65&#;s Europop.  &#;Wake Up People&#; starts off this set with an energized track.  Song&#;s like &#;Vaporized&#; and &#;Nirvana&#; are sure to make you dance.  PeopleJam do drop the vocader in two tracks.  &#;Licks&#; has more of a traditional indie-rock flair with wild vocals in the style of the telephones while the alternate version of &#;Dead Livestock&#; drops the funk backdrop for something a little more epic.

A CD-R for Wake Up People is available at their shows but you can download the Vaporized EP for free on their website.
