And bam you got hidden gems by group of friends making joke songs, or starting a band, or anything else honestly.
Anything between 2003 - 2012 is on there about a million to be exact
More unknown label bands are there too but myspace server migration destroyed everything so goodbye to 65 million songs

Electronic music mixed with Visual Kei elements, very interesting stuff
Compilation of breakcore/DnB/Jungle artists. Might be in my top 5 already for this year.
It’s rough around the edges, but it’s a pretty good listen if you like shoegaze, goth pop, or breakcore. Really cool to see artists from countries like Brazil making music like this.
If you are into Japanese indie rock, wooderd chiarie have a live album from 2013 up on bandcamp for free download. I think it was even their last release.
US-based label focusing on re-releasing/collecting Japanese underground releases, mostly in the realm of hardcore punk but there’s also a nice range of other obscure weirdness:
Some of my highlights/recommendations:
- 傀儡電伝 and Juvenile Rock by Dendö Marionette (short-lived '80s new wave project, revived for a minute a few years ago with the help of SADIE PINK GALAXY)
- City Baby Attacked By Buds by Rocky And The Sweden (ridiculously cool high-energy hardcore punk with an outlandish “smoke weed, brooo” concept)
- The Last Sanctuary by Grave New World (a short-lived project with members of some cult bands delivering one of the most unique crust punk records I’ve ever heard, psychedelic and raw)
Reviving this thread to give shout-outs to this project:
Visual kei-ish band not from Japan that doesn’t sound terrible. I think the person behind this is even on this forum? (i know they were on MH)
For fans of Drab Majesty, Deb Demure’s side project VR SEX released a new album and it’s amazing:
And here’s the latest EP from japanese Deathrock legends 13th Moon:
