Judy And Mary were a band who took the j-pop songbook and turned it inside out with all manners of heavy metal riffs, funk drumming, punk bass playing, and Yuki's expressive voice that made this group a top notch unit. there is alot of energy and intensity in these songs, and everything flows with an electric bubblegum kind of poison. the songs are so cute and so sweet...but yet with some bite. it's a little bit tough to give some comparisons; but i'll try. imagine Big Star or the New Pornagraphers in the studio with members of Nirvana joining in for the jam session; then add some jazzy interludes, some guys goofing around with the keyboards, and a guitarist who can barely keep his fingers still. does that give you a mental image? this is certainly pop rock and roll...and this could be the greatest thing you've ever heard...or it could be the most annoying band you've ever laid ears on. personally, i feel in love with this band when i first visited japan and i heard this cd. i gathered their old releases and eagerly awaited their future albums when they came out. The Power Source remains as their best album (with the excellent Warp record coming awfully, awfully close...perhaps it's a tie for first place)...from the fragmented beginnings of the twisted pop masterpiece of "Birthday Song" to the final punked out anthem of "The Great Escape", Judy And Mary is a recomended band for those who like their j-pop upbeat, daring, surprising, and loud!
