Otoboke Beaver - Love Is Short

Deranged yet catchy, angular punk- pop-garage-rock at break-neck speed!

Love Is short sees the band blood-letting a generation's gender frustration. Introduce me to your family has more vocal playfulness, funky bass and buzzsaw guitar that eventually tumbles into a volcano of noise, with beats tripping over themselves and looks at relationships as a kind of personal war.

The band's name is taken from a local 'Love Hotel' and the song subject matter is a screw you to bad love, devious boyfriends and general sexism. Their early releases carried artwork with scary visual beaver puns and Otoboke Beaver are part of a new wave of feminist Japanese bands, defining themselves sexually and musically. The pressure of the conformist and patriarchal society is palpable in their music.
