And this album really shows off how well they can rock. They can go from melodic, groove-to-the-music soft, to loud, distorted, -the-moshpit hard. Following their 99 release, School Girl Distortional Addict, this 2000 release gives fans even more hard hitting rock tunes ripe with body-moving melodies and ear-popping guitars and screaming. Having garnered fans in the US through their appearance at SXSW, they have proven they can rock hard right along side the best rock bands in the world. Sappukei (LP, Album).Īnd Number Girl is one of the best anywhere. Over the course of seven years their sound evolved greatly, serving as a basis for Mukai's post-Number Girl project, Zazen Boys. Number Girl played fast, guitar-driven rock similar to the Pixies, Sonic Youth, and Hüsker Dü.
They disbanded in 2002 following bassist Kentaro Nakao's departure from the band. Number Girl (ナンバーガール) is a rock band formed in Fukuoka, Japan in August, 1995 by guitarist and vocalist Shutoku Mukai.
