Hailing from the punk rock capital of the world, Tokyo, Japan, comes "Megababe": three cute chicks who crank out contemporary punk rock with an old-school sensibility, and aren't afraid to throw some metal and hardcore into the mix whenever they feel like it.
The girls got their start in mid 2001, when drummer Miho met bassist AkO and began gigging around Tokyo under the Megababe name. They soon jumped into studio to make their first EP, "Bite Me", which showed their sound evolving from a crunchy-guitar, head-banging rock n' roll style to a more modern sound with strong melodies and catchy choruses.

No complaints about the album, some of the best Metal/Punk I have heard in quite awhile. Actually got the cd for a friend, now he is ordering me one! Only 1 complaint, the cd had a broken case, just one of the pivot points, was shipped in bubble-envelope. CD was pristine though.
