I'm sure you all know that The Karate Kid is a very popular 1984 movie starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita, well it's now also a name appropriated by a new band from Tokyo. They feature a line up of FxZxKxN (vocals), Yoji Taguchi (guitar), Kentaro Nishida (bass) and Tatsuhiro Taku (drums). They play fast paced hardcore punk and profess an admiration for bands such as Vitamin X, Razors Edge, Spazz, Jodie Faster, Descendents etc...
They formed earlier this year and have already treated us to a demo featuring 9 "short, fast & cheap" cuts of energetic thrashing around. There's two intros before we get into shouty punk territory. Not sure what the hell they're singing about even though the song titles are in English but it makes me want to run around smashing things up. There's a cassette version and it's also available digitally here : https://karatexkidx.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2020
The song that's worked it's way into my brain and refuses to leave is this bundle of chanty fun. It's called Football Suckers...
