New Beginning

Just found them because of another channel on YouTube - this crazy guy who challenges bass players around the world (another story for another time). So, I followed the bass player to Band-Maid's channel. Didn't know what to check out; saw that THRILL had something like 17M views. Wow. Not only can they play, but there's something really cool about how the Japanese lyrics fit the music. I don't even want the translation. They can all play, and the vocals are so smooth. There's power without strain. Anyway, I bought the whole album...

I found Band-Maid by accident and i will say that it was a great accident. I wave the flag of the band everyday. Band-Maid has everything - every member brings thier particular talent to the table and make sure it hits in all the right ways. "Thrill" was my introduction to the band, wow what a song. I soon hunted down other entries and was not disappointed. Do your ears a favor and give them the gift of one of the best bands out there.

I only stumbled on these gurls two days ago. It took only a listening to a handful of songs to drive me to make my fielder purchase on iTunes ever and my first music purchase in more than 20 years. I don’t remember being this excited by new music since Operation Mind Crime. There isn’t a bad song on the album. I cannot day enough good things about this band. The bassist lays it down in every song, the drummer is amazing and is driving me to rethink how I should play double pedals myself, and the guitarist can shred like no other! And of course the singers are amazing! For 2 decades I’ve wondered where all the good music has gone. It’s in Japan and dresses up as cutesy Maids. Buy this! You will NOT be disappointed!

These women are... there are no words. Simply incredible.

Interesting to see that iTunes is making a big effort for Japanese music. Hopefully this become a standard thing. In any case, Band-Maid is one of those recently uncovered gems from Japan that a lot of people are talking about. Whether you come from hard rock, metal, classic rock, or 90's grunge, this band will be your go to album for all times.

Love that they decided to go towards the hard rock path. I recommend you buy their new Album "Brand New Maid" that isn't available on itunes(US)

Love this album. ITunes you gotta get their new mini album up!

Man I wish america would get some originality and make amazing songs like Japan. This band is amazing and all their songs are wonderful

Checked them out due to the cute costumes, but stuck around due to really good music. I'm no kid, but I've been playing this album pretty much over and over for weeks now - ever since seeing them at SakuraCon in Seattle for their first concert outside Japan. They rocked the house and now they've been rocking my world! Can't wait for their next album, which should be coming out any day now.

But now what are you waiting for from start to finish the album is great from vocals to each members music ability this is my favorite new band can't sit for the new album coming soon. Late review got this a while back but seriously go buy it now. 🤘🏼😬 🎸🎤
