Anyone heard aboot them ?
They're quite big actually in Japan I think (you can never be sure with Japan, when you ask someone who really knows he always tells you the contrary ), their music is pretty good.
I'm usually not a big fan of rock, well I mean today's rock sucks BIG TIME and is uninspired most of the time (at least what's on the radio), and though it's not so bad when you hear it from time to time, I'm really sick of hearing Coldplay, Greenday, White Stripes and a few others again and again and agains and again...
Well about AKG, they're rock, for sure, not intricate music with layers and all like Dev' or Mr Bungle, but they have their own style which I find pretty good. There's some good chords progression (just that sometimes you wish it progresses into something heavier, but it rarely does), and they use a lot of "dirty" chords (maybe that's called dissonance) switchwing from this :
e||----
B||----
G||----
D||----
A||--7--
E||--5--
to this :
e||----
B||----
G||----
D||----
A||--7--
E||--4--
Some of their songs (well at least one^^) are obviously inspired by Weezer (not especially my favourite). Funny to see their first songs are in english, then only in japanese since they're bigger (well since they've had a record deal).
A lot of their songs are qutie catchy, but not empty nonetheless.
Some highlights if you want to check out them :
Kimi No Machi Made, Rewrite (their "heaviest" if I may say, 4th opening to the Naruto cartoon), Flash Back, N.G.S., Road Movie...
