BO-PEEP - Video
PUBLISHED:  Feb 04, 2010
DESCRIPTION:
From the heart of Fukuokas underground scene come Bo-Peep, three girls representing a generation raised on 90s grunge and making a startlingly hard sound.

Bo-Peep are a three-piece girl band (guitar, bass and drums) with no added nonsense, achieving the utmost simple chaos from their instruments, tough-brittle lyrics and cage-rattling vocals. Like the best of Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins music, at the core of that chaos lies pure harmony surrounding solid, catchy melodies and in that blend comes their originality.

In 2008 Bo-Peep presented their second full-length albumSICK ORANGE TELEVISION, while the first album Is It Good For You was released in the UK, the recordings capture the aura and power of their live performances, which see the band savage the stage like girls possessed, from Japans prestigious Fuji Rock festival all the way to Britains In The City, The Great Escape, London Calling festivals, and beyond.
What the UK press is saying:
