new!! band of the day – Pinfla
With the help of a good friend of mine, it has been decided to start a “band of the day”! Starting today, I will post about a new and/or relatively unknown Japanese band or artist for everyone’s enjoyment. Not only do you, the fans, get to enjoy new music, the respective artists get their material promoted. Everyone wins!
With that said, here is today’s band.
-Kei
NOTE: Pinfla is currently looking for a new drummer. If you are, or know anyone in their area, that is a drummer, please send them an email.<br style=”display:none”/><br /> We don’t want to see them disband so early in their career!
