コンピへの参加やカセットテープ作品でインディー音楽ファンを虜にしてきた苫小牧発の3人組の初作は、元・銀杏BOYZの安孫子真哉の主宰レーベルから。メガ・シティ・フォーからの影響を公言する彼らだけど、本作から聴こえてくるのは現行のオルタナ・リヴァイヴァル流儀で80sネオアコ～ギター・ポップを鳴らしたような、ピュアな輝きを放つパンク・ロック。〈ザ・青春〉な音世界に胸が締め付けられてどうにかなりそう!
[English Translation]
The first album of NOT WONK, a Japanese 3-piece band from Tomakomai, Hokkaido, that has been fascinating indie music fans with its participation in some compilations and release in cassette tapes, is from the label led by Shinya Abiko, ex-member of Japanese punk rock band, Ginnan BOYZ. While they openly admit the influence from Mega City Four (English indie/pop punk band), this album delivers a purely-dazzling punk rock, like playing 80s neo acoustic and guitar pop in the style of current alternative revival music. The heart-wringing music that represents the downright essence of the youth will make you lose yourself!
