To paraphrase a well-worn marketing slogan (at least of punk and grind bands, and maybe a few household cleaners), Melt-Banana accomplishes more in 90 seconds than most bands accomplish over an entire career. This Japanese experimental noise collective and rock group is entering its 20th year, with almost as many albums under its belt, but still as frenetic and feisty as ever. If you want to fault them for anything, bag on their release schedule; it's been nearly five years since Melt-Banana's last studio LP. Hopefully, this latest visit stateside will feature a new batch of spastic soon-to-be classics. —David Raposa
