Let’s Drive Home a Wonderful Day with Banana Monkeys

/ Homicidol Maniac

Update: BOO! IT’S NOT SO WONDERFUL!

Forget it, it’s too nice outside to want to keep spring-feeling idol all bottled up. And it is Sunday, so:

YOU CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

If two people are pinging you with a thing, it must be good!

So introduce yourself to the Banana Monkeys (Twitter):

Chris is of the opinion that they’re a distillation of the poppiest side of You’ll Melt More, sans the experimental stuff; go listen to that and then listen to this and tell me that the chorus specifically isn’t a direct rip-off of Sakura Gakuin’s “Kimi ni Todoke”.

This wacky business clocks in at about a full year of age; the above MV is from their first album, out later this week and no doubt filled with sunshine bounces and potential for idols in chocolate fondue shirts.

Yes, we will always have room for the weird and slightly off-kilter here at Homicidols.com, as they are often effective bridges between “I only listened to EXTREME BLACKENED BRUTAL SLAM TECHNODEATH until I heard Broken By The Scream!” and “I’m going to cut the next person who out-bids me for an AiAi cheki, so help me.” Any and all attempts to bully such items onto the editorial calendar will be met with scorn and also follow-through one way or another!
