This track, notable for its metallic riff, is included on the 2015 mini-album “SHANK OF THE MORNING.” It’s aggressive and cool from start to finish.

The two bars right before the guitar solo are especially a must-hear!

JudySHANK13rank/position

Shank- Judy

Among SHANK’s songs, this is a hidden gem and a fan favorite.

It’s a relaxed ballad, and even though all the lyrics are in English, you can still feel something burning and powerful coming through.

The actual meaning of the lyrics is both bittersweet and passionate, so be sure to look it up.

Light Your CigaretteSHANK14rank/position

[Wadai Light Music] Light Your Cigarette (64th Generation) [NGL]

Since the title fit so well, I thought it might actually work out, and the band and synth matched nicely—it felt good.

I figured that after steady refinement, it would become that original sound.

The vocals were also strong and sounded good.

MONKEY FUCKSHANK15rank/position

SHANK / submarine – Tried playing the bass for “MONKEY FUCK”

An exhilarating punk rock sound has descended! They’re doing a great job as a three-piece—that’s the impression I get.

Their signature sound, brimming with the potential to make you think “Don’t underestimate the Japanese,” really shines.

It’s a track that makes you excited for what’s next.

I definitely want to catch them live.

Prayer’s handSHANK16rank/position

Prayer’s hand

The album “From tiny square room” features slow to mid-tempo tracks, so there isn’t much of a sense of speed, but that makes the solid, weighty instrumentation stand out and really highlights the vocalist’s beautiful voice.

It’s the kind of song that might make you tear up if you hear it at a festival.

RestartSHANK17rank/position

SHANK 「Restart」

This track, the second on the album ‘Tiny Square Room,’ is packed with sharp hits and is simply awesome! It’s guaranteed to get us pumped when we play it ourselves.

If you’re looking for a song that will fire up your live show, this is it!

Baitfish AttitudeSHANK18rank/position

Shank- Baitfish Attitude

I feel like this song, the album’s title track, carries some kind of central image.

It’s not something you can say about all punk rock, but this band seems to have a lot of really powerful songs packed into short lengths.

Punk rock is the best on guitar.

Brandnew SongSHANK19rank/position

Shank- Brandnew Song

A punkish track that’s very SHANK, included as the sixth song on their 3rd album “BAiTFiSH Attitude.” It’s a fast-tempo, dynamic number that makes you want to mosh and dive at a live show.

Bright SideSHANK20rank/position

SHANK / Bright Side

This track by SHANK, a band based in Nagasaki, released in August 2020, was born from a small everyday event—moving into a poorly lit room.

It distills the longing to return from a space shut in darkness to a place touched by light into high-velocity melodic punk.

The song was included on the Candy Cruise EP released in September of the same year, and was re-released on the 2022 album STEADY.

It shines with Shohei Ihara’s lyricism, which elevates minor frustrations into universal themes, and with an expansive guitar sound anchored by tight drumming.
