9mm Parabellum Bullet

9mm Parabellum Bullet not only has a rather unique (aka typiclly Japanese) name, but their music is also a unique mix of straight up rock and totally twisted post punk. The guitar playing is extremely tight and frenetic, yet the songs are very melodic and listener friendly. On the one hand, they my fall into Asian Kung-fu Generation territory, yet their spastic playing and crazy drumming is much more like Number Girl. There are even a few heavy metal riffs from time to time. It's all presented at blinding speed ("Mr. Suicide" for example), so you'll need to listen to them many times to actually hear everything that's going on.
