(特集記事) 「Cruzian Pop Punkサウンドな日本のバンド探してみた」



Cruzian Pop Punkサウンドな日本のバンド探してみました。そこまで私もCruz Recordsの音を熟知しているわけではないのですが、私の大好きなAllやBig Drill Carを何処か思わせるサウンドを鳴らしているバンドを探してみました。
バンドそのものの音がCruzian Pop Punkではなくても、「ある曲のあるフレーズにそれを感じた」という無理矢理なモノもあると思いますが、ご容赦下さい。

洋楽いいとこ取りコンピ 「Winterの付くPunkソング集めてみました」



このそれっぽい画像と共に「Winterの付くPunkソング集めてみました」・・・なんて記事書いてますが、集めた曲の大半は冬っぽくないという・・・(笑)以前やったSummerバージョンの方とは大違いですね!
洋楽いいとこ取りコンピ 「"Summer"がタイトルにある曲を集めてみました(Punk/Powerpop/Melodic編)」
洋楽いいとこ取りコンピ 「"Summer"がタイトルにある曲を集めてみました(Pop Punk/Easycore)」

あっちは「太陽が眩しく爽やかで疾走感があるハッピーな曲」って感じなんですが・・・まあ曲の印象が冬っぽくないかなってだけで、歌詞はちゃんと冬っぽいです。
今回もPunkソングを中心にチョイスしました。ちなみに毎回の如く、曲についての言及は殆ど無いです。
