[Popular Songs by SHANK] Straight Outta Nagasaki! A Showcase of Masterpieces from the Melodic Hardcore Band

Baitfish AttitudeSHANK

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.

CHOICE – SHANK Guitar Cover

They’re pounding out power chords and clashing images against each other.

Maybe the tempo is fast, because it feels like it ends quickly.

You could say that very sense of speed is the best thing about this track.

Grimy WindowSHANK

Shank – Grimy Window

This track was rocking too—though to be precise, it might have been more of a punk sound.

Either way, it’s a high-energy recording, and the fact that it’s short makes it easy to listen to.

If it caught your attention, you’d probably want to see a live band, right?

I can’t say good bye to youSHANK

i cant say goodbye to you-shank

I got the sense you like Western music.

It starts off sounding like an acoustic guitar solo performance, then switches into a rock tune midway.

Catchy chord strumming and rhythmic muted power chords.

It gives off that vibe of “it’s best when everyone’s together,” doesn’t it?

Keep on WalkingSHANK

SHANK -「Keep On Walking」(Guitar Cover)

Every day is rock ’n’ roll; I think they’re keeping it going for themselves, which ends up being for everyone.

Yeah, I felt that the image of their sound really showcases their great taste.

Doing something every day might start off well, but keeping it up to the end is the hard part, isn’t it?

Light Your CigaretteSHANK

[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 FUCKSHANK

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.
