The Psycrons (Seven Japanese Bands in Seven Days)

From the Yellow Submarine cover to the name, there's no doubt that The Psycrons are interested in psychadelic sixties music, but they look and sound more like 1965-1966 Yardbirds than any San Francisco group. Unlike some other revival bands I've heard coming out of Japan lately, they are interested in doing more than entering a time machine and pretending forty years of music didn't happen. Check out On a Voyage. The music is giddy, the group harmonizes well, and the songs are filled with catchy hooks. They're so good that this is the only album my wife asks, "who's that?" every time one of their songs comes on when we're driving. If you're looking for a challenge, see if you can pick out which songs open with reworked riffs from The Who and Jimi Hendrix.
