Bo Ningen

You can hear the past in Bo Ningen's wall of sound and massive melodies, but the past re-imagined - from Butoh to Black Sabbath. If Black Sabbath was in Blade Runner. 

'If someone in the 1960's had imagined ('Space: 1999' style) what rock and roll would sound like in 2009, Bo Ningen is what they would have heard in their head. -Loud & Quiet

‘ Bo Ningen sprays action-painted psychedelic guitar splatter over choppy post-punk riffs, with nods to the improvisatory ethos that always nibbles at the fringes of all the best Japa-noise music. Impossible speed meets unbelievable precision. Vast slabs of sound thread delicate pathways.’The Times 4 stars  

'The Viscerally thrilling Japanese outfit deliver a superb mix of 1960's punk trash, 1970's Detroit dirt, 1980's New York art-rock and psychedelic post-rock'  The Times 'Top 100 Albums Of 2010'

‘…best new band at the Offset Festival’. The Observer

‘London-based psych rockers BN draw on Japanese freak-out and febrile energy to create their own maelstrom of sound’ TIMEOUT

 ‘They're fantastically energetic, often brain-crushingly heavy, and quite probably the most exciting young band in London right now.’ MOJO 2010
