MUTANT MONSTER - ABNORMAL Music Video Reaction!

[@realdocloco]

Another band I deeply love - in a different musical genre. Meana (guitar) and Be (bass) are sisters, with friend Chad on drums. You've reacted to mostly metal and hard rock bands, but actually every rock genre is represented in Japan, from punk (Mutant Monster is a punk band, although this particular song is closer to punk-pop) to funk rock to alt-rock (lots of wonderfull bands like Hitsujibungaku or Pedro). And tons of pop-rock bands too (usually with Telecasters 😁). Unfortunately, after nearly ten years of existence (they started at 14!) Mutant Monster is on hiatus since covid.

Yes, straight-up punk-pop. Love them.

[@hiawatha.g]

Yes, it's pretty much punk or punk-pop. Thank you for diving in!

OK Great News. MUTANT MONSTER are back. After nearly 5 years hiatus the ladies are back in the studio creating new music and will play 3 live shows in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. Cannot wait to see them live.

This is a new one to me. I'll have to take another turn and dig more in my vast catacombs of Japanese rock/metal rabbit hole. This is why I sub to reactors. Always discovering.

One of the first Japanese bands that I got into, and so will forever hold a special place in my heart. I still follow Chad's performances and hold out that the sisters may once again write more music.

Shame they stopped performing. A great live band, saw them numerous times. Chad drums has moved on, she is now a full-time member of a 7 piece band Great World Yozakura Gokuzou Orchestra. I saw Chad perform for them 3 times on my recent Japan trip. It's sad when bands disband, cease to be, but sometimes new bands are created from it. Mary's Blood are my favourite Metal band, but now Nemophila fill that void. Mutant Monster are my favourite Punk band, but Rumkicks from South Korea have filled that void. So it's not all bad news.

[@Vipppala]

have they ever actually said that ? i cant remember and ive checked their twitter and instagrams, i was thinking more of a longer term hiatus.

[@Vipppala]

@@paulpabloanderson6884 that they are properly disbanded

[@michelm.6033]

This is another totally new one from the list, for me. I love the genre and it does remind me of Offspring. I haven’t heard to much punk/rock since college days. I guess like rock and metal it just moved to Japan. I’m really starting to get embarrassed as someone from the West. ❤️🇯🇵

Just wish more people would have promoted this fantastic band before they disbanded. I'll have to search for Chads new band. Hope the sisters come back to music and their longing fans.

[@yakidin63]

Damn I wish they would get back together. They were just so consistent and good its such a waste of talent. A comeback would be welcome for sure.
