My Hair is Bad
爆発的なテンションで今年の台風の目になりそうな、噂の大型新人!!
昨年だろうか、My Hair is Badの噂を耳にする機会が増えたのは――〈凄いバンドがいる〉と。新潟県上越市出身の3人組で、年間140本というライヴをやり遂げたツワモノだ。すでに東名阪のワンマンはソールドアウトさせる、叩き上げの実力派バンドである。
彼らの2枚目のシングルは、弾き語りでも成り立つ説得力に長けた歌声と、いきり立つ衝動を生々しいまでに真空パックした音源だ。〈ブラジャーのホックを外す時だけ／心の中までわかった気がした〉という歌い出しで始まるオープニング曲“真赤”から心を鷲掴みにされたが、そうした赤裸々な言葉が刺さる今作の曲たちも、フェスの場で披露されることだろう。情景が浮かぶ歌詞とサンボマスターにも通じる爆発的なテンションを湛えたライヴは、ともかく必見。今年、台風の目になりそうな大型新人のパフォーマンスに多くの人が度肝を抜かれるに違いない。

My Hair is Bad “Hitomebore ep. (meaning Love At First Sight ep.)”
Text Daisuke Sawada
Rumored high-profile new band with explosive energy likely to be the powerhouse in the music scene this year!!
It was probably last year that I came to hear about My Hair is Bad often: that 'there is an awesome band.' My Hair is Bad is a talented 3-piece rock band from Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture that intrepidly performed as many as 140 live shows in 2014. They clawed their way to one of the top selling live bands, with all the tickets selling out every time they tour alone in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka.
Their second single is vividly vacuum-packed with singing that is compelling even only with a simple guitar accompaniment together with raging impulses. I was totally enthralled from the opener track "Makka" starting with the lyrics 'Brassiere no Hook wo Hazusu Tokidake, Kokorono Nakamade Wakatta Kigashita (meaning Only when I unhook your bra, I feel like I can see inside your heart).' The works on this single with such outspoken lyrics piercing your hearts are very much likely to be performed at music festivals. The picture-evoking lyrics and their live shows filled with explosive energy akin to Sambomaster (Japanese rock band) is a must-see at any rate. Many music fans would be absolutely astounded at the performance of this high-profile new band that is likely to be a powerhouse in the music scene this year.
