Here are two reasons I like Bo Ningen: One, they play massively distorted guitars that make you feel like MC Hammer on steroids (when he was rich), secondly Guardian columnist Paul Lester described them as Krautcore.
I can’t speak for everyone, but Krautcore needs to become an established genre.
Here’s the skinny-Bo Ningen are four supermodel thin Japanese guys based in London that play excruciatingly mangled rock. The word that keeps popping up in my mind is guitar- Bo Ningen are some guitar loving motherfuckers.
To date, Bo Ningen have released one EP Karoshitai Kimochi in late 2009.
The rumor circulating is that Jimmy Page saw Bo Ningen perform in them perform in the UK and was blown away. If you take all these elements: Krautcore, MC Hammer on steroids, intense guitar love and impressing a guitar legend you come up with Bo Ningen.

Mayer Hawthorne is certainly one of those artists that defies expectations; a constant reminder that we should never judge a book by it’s cover.
For example, by the looks of his photograph you would expect Hawthorne to be some sort of indie rock artist-not so.
In reality Hawthorne is 100% soul, much like an updated version of Boz Skaggz.
In 2009 Hawthorne released his acclaimed feature length debut “A Strange Arrangement” on indie Hip-Hop label Stones Throw Records and nabbed best artist of the year from The Real Detroit Weekly.
With the critics in the bag, Hawthorne will go after the masses in 2010, with an upcoming performance at SXSW this march and an appearance at Coachella this spring.
Below is Hawthorne’s music video “Green Eyed Love”….put your dancing shoes on…
