XiAOWANG - KACHAKACHA

Ferocious Beijing rockers XiAOWANG have a knack for gut-punching rhythms and raw potent vocals. With a wild, unwieldy collection of songs that touch on everything from empowerment of women to our detestable consumer society, there's a rawness to the band's tipsy turvy blend of kawaii-core, punk, rock, pop and then some - mixing vulnerability, seething rage and bubbly exuberance with mighty results. This is their debut album.
