About the Band

WATER CLOSET

Starting out in the mid-90's, WATER CLOSET fused biting CLASH style guitars with indie rock and melodic punk. They quickly made a name for themselves in a scene with other popular Japanese punk acts of the day including DISGUSTEENS, HI-STANDARD and HUSKING BEE, and even released material on the infamous Pizza of Death label.

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

Time Is Cool is the freshman effort from WATER CLOSET that paved the way for the bright and melodic punk sound that would characterize their later albums. Complementing each other perfectly, Asuka and Shimo match vocals adding a PIXIES feel to their high energy alternative songs. After the intro, "One Word" explodes with rapid percussion and cutting guitars. "Fetters" shreds away your troubles with screaming female vocals, screeching solos and tight rhythms. Catchy and danceable, "Want Many Time" leaves you shouting along. Melding Japanese pop punk by the likes of JITTERIN' JINN and HUSKING BEE with upbeat melodic and classic punk style, WATER CLOSET appeals to fans of Japanese music and punks alike.
