Polyglot Glitch-Punk. A high-energy, furious Japanese punk rock anthem. Features fast, pounding drums, raw distorted guitars, and chaotic 8-bit synth glitches. The vocals are an aggressive, brattty female punk, switching rapidly between shouted Japanese and English. Anthemic, rebellious, and raw mosh-pit energy.
