1000% D.I.Y. (2018)
I was absolutely floored by the Hateman record Radio Hate when I heard it for the first time. I just loved it. I've gotten use to the fact that a lot of bands from Japan put out an album and then don't put out a follow up for many years, if they ever do one at all. The fact that a few short months later Hateman put out another full length album full of songs is pretty crazy, but I couldn't be happier about it.
In comparison to Radio Hate, this album leans more towards the jangly guitar and pop hook side of the punk rock spectrum. I find myself often being reminded of the band Popcatcher, especially when it comes to the vocals. I do like Hateman the most when they crank up the fuzz on their guitars and blast out rockers like "Dream Worker" and "My Daughter," but every song on this album is great.
I'm not sure if this is a band that is getting the credit and exposure that they deserve. In 2018 they put out 2 full length albums that are barn burners. I hope the band continues this pace because I will buy everything they put out.
