Japanther is a band that I never gave a chance. I had categorized them under "flighty hipster joycore" and written them off. But the problem with categorizing something is that you're always wrong. That's not to say it's not flighty hipster joycore, it is, but if you place something in a negative category it's always going to seem a little crappy. But this is not crappy, so why is it in the crappy section? Because a category is like a genre, it's a lasso that allows you to keep from going crazy or becoming dead bored with repetition, but it's hardly an essence. This is the essence; drums like a thousand heartbeats, a sweaty-backed guitar, and a teenage thump-stomping anthem chorus. At 2:58 it's the second-longest song on Skuffed Up My Huffy by a second, because these sprint-on-the-spot major-ragers don't and can't last much longer. Strike a match, watch it burn, bursting, out.
