BAND OF THE DAY: BYOUSATSU ENDORPHIN

There's some proper Fat Wreck-grade contrived wackiness going on with Osaka thrash punks Byousatsu Endorphin – they even have a mascot that's basically a cardboard box with a face drawn on it and talk about “goofing off”. Yeah, fucking horrendous. We burnt Fat Mike alive in a giant wicker skateboard so that future generations wouldn't have to be exposed to this sort of cringeworthy ADHD Vans Warped Tour bullshit.

Luckily, Byousatsu Endorphin carried on regardless, the image may be lighter than caffeine-free Coke Zero in space, but the music is pure raging thrashcore built around the simple, driving chassis of pop-punk. Incorporating bursts of pop, ska, old school hardcore and FUN FUN FUN into their furious 2010 full-length, '21 Ideas, Useless Of Business', and 2009's '16 Noises, Destroy Your Value' EP, in a combination of intensity and irreverence that'll strike a chord with fans of Crucial Section and ANS, and, er Melt-Banana.
