Make mine a Vox..

Knockout is a little recording studio in Shimokitazawa where squadcar recorded a few times. It was small and the gear was pretty stock for the most part, but they had these amps...

The Black Shakes @ VRP 4

At the start of this song Justin was showing me that he had just broken the headstock on his guitar, I was trying to focus in on it as they blasted into the song. The Black Shakes once again rocked the hell outta VRP..

Come to my Party @ VRP 4

It's rad that we get to play with these guys so often these days. They opened up Valentine Records Presents vol.4 with their dance rock beats and post-Supercar cool..

Monitor live @ VRP 4: NY Bitch

For me, the best songs are about real experiences that people have, that are then translated into music and lyrics, which in turn become a kind of vehicle for others to relate to. Unfortunately it's often the bad stuff that happens that inspires great songs.

Ladies and gentlemen, NY Bitch...

Shimokitazawa is a great little place, except when you have to wait for 7 tains to go past before you can cross the lines.. >_<
