Well, I decided to check out some new faces and some bands I spotted months ago. As a result, on today's menu are two choice picks -- Japan's LOW IQ 01 and France's Pleasure Addiction.
LOW IQ 01
This rock band is definitely a rock band. Even though they only offer up short snippets of play on their MySpace site, you can hear the rampaging beats and driving vocals. As with any good rock band, you don't need caffeine after hearing them. Complex yet fun, I liked their stuff. I would have written more, but since I only had snippets to work with, I really couldn't get a better feel for the depth or reach of their music.Still, if you like rock, check them out.

PLEASURE ADDICTION
The other band is also a rock band. This time the band hails from France. A number of months ago, I put this band on my personal 'watch and check back in a few months list' because the comments I had (for myself, not public) was that it showed great promise. However, I wanted to give them a few months and check back to see how they were sounding a bit later.Great tunes, clear and expressive vocals and a demanding rock beat that backs up the vocals and drives the music forward. This is an exciting and charismatic group with a lot of promise and...I'm glad to see...the internal drive to keep at it and really go for the top levels of the music industry.
Not many songs on their site, but at least they aren't 10 second snippets!
Check them out for yourself, they are at:

Have a great day! Coming up soon, a review that includes Japan's up and coming JPOP girl, Ranka, but since she's JPOP, I thought I would wait and cover her separately. Today was for Rockers.
