| | Some Of The Best Bands I Discovered Recently | | 1 |  | Sugar Hiccup
Oracle
The sheer atmosphere of this band is simply overwhelming. A beautiful blend of dream pop, etheral and progressive rock, Sugar Hiccup remain the true ethereal poster-children of the Philippines.
Recommended to fans of: Cocteau Twins, Lush. | | 2 |  | Gypsy Grind
Tattle Tales
An album rich in cutesiness and quirkiness, Gypsy Grind's only album manages to charm over the listener with its blend of ska, indie pop and pop rock.
Recommended to fans of: No Doubt, Letters to Cleo. | | 3 |  | Dinary Delta Force
Soundtrack to the Bed Town
Grim and gritty, Japan's underground hip-hop assembly, Dinary Delta Force, makes their presence known with bleak beats and rugged lyrical flows.
Recommended to fans of: Wu-Tang Clan, Onyx. | | 4 |  | P.O.T.
P.O.T.
Funky and carefree, P.O.T.'s only full album remains a true staple of Filipino-styled stoner-influenced funk metal.
Recommended to fans of: Sublime, Jane's Addiction. | | 5 |  | Beyond (China)
Le Yu Nu (Rock and Roll)
One of China's most successful acts, Beyond commonly borrowed influences from alternative, pop and hard rock, and concocted their own signature style that won fans all across the world.
Recommended to fans of: L'arc-en-Ciel, Suede. | | 6 |  | AA=
#3
Chaotic and melodic, AA= is the solo project of Takashi Ueda, the bassist of the breakthrough Japanese digital hardcore group, The Mad Capsule Markets.
Recommended to fans of: The Mad Capsule Markets, Atari Teenage Riot. | | 7 | | Mo'Some Tonebender
Dawn Rock
Experienced in the field of pent-up aggression, Mo'Some Tonebender's music is chockful of heavy-edged rock and roll ditties.
Recommended to fans of: Soundgarden, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. | | 8 |  | The Roosters
Neon Boy
One of the most significant bands to surface out of the 80's Japanese rock boom, The Roosters were considered to be true music pioneers in their home country for their cutting edge blend of rock'n'roll, gothic rock, new wave, folk and punk.
Recommended to fans of: The Cure, Adam Ant. | | 9 |  | Folks
Take Off
Taking influences from synthpop and indie-esqued power pop, Folks have the potential to easily be one of the brightest up-and-comers in the Japanese indie scene right now.
Recommended to fans of: The Postal Service, Hellogoodbye. | | 10 |  | He
Further Shore
Up-and-comers of the modern Japanese emo scene, He has a unique sound which blends emo-like melody and mild technical elements.

08.30.14 | I love all of these bands, especially #1... that's been in my playlist the whole day lol. | Calc
08.30.14 | disco's the homie i'll check some of these out. | NordicMindset
08.30.14 | For some reason I actually know 5 | discovolante
08.30.14 | Green: That's actually somewhat surprising. | ScuroFantasma
08.30.14 | 2 and 10 look interesting, cool list btw | NordicMindset
08.30.14 | @disco
It's this one. I understand absolutely 0% of the words that are coming out of his month, but he's a pretty powerful singer.

08.30.14 | Scuro: Yup, been listening to 2 sporadically all day lol.
Green: Yup, that's him alright. Not really into Chinese stuff, but Beyond was a pretty great group. | NordicMindset
08.30.14 | There was another song by them I knew, I'll go searching for it. Love his voice, I'm gonna have to look up the lyric translation to see what it means. Normally it's hard for me to get into foreign language stuff because I don't understand the language, but even though I don't understand Chinese, I can still dig them. | discovolante
08.30.14 | He's fantastic, indeed. It's a shame he went out the way he did.

08.30.14 | ^^ That's my favorite Beyond track. Very radiant, vocally. Strong stuff. | NordicMindset
08.30.14 | How did he go out? | NordicMindset
08.30.14 | Yep, that one also sounds familiar. I think I have a CD of them somewhere... | discovolante
08.30.14 | He ended up dying accidentally on a Japanese variety show back in '93. |
