Shonen Knife - Let's Knife (1992)

[@mattym4451]

Saw them at the Paladium... they literally stopped playing to tell me and my buddy to stop being rough on each other 😂 "Boys no fight!". "We're not fighting, we're friends!".

These girls know how to write a pop song. This album will put you in a good mood. Lovely melodies. Upbeat. A great example of the genre and the fact that they are Japanese makes it even more interesting/fun. Good music for a sunny day, or for a day when you're bumming out. It will bring the sun to you.

[@johnny-r]

A friend turned me onto the Knife in the early 2000s. I will always be indebted to him for that. Life just isn't complete without Shonen Knife.

[@shoknifeman2mikado135]

Sarah, SK are still going strong and have made at least 10 more albums since Let's Knife... although, it remains my fave... my second fave is from the 2000s, Free Time! Their latest is Adventure.

[@shindorohedoronoi]

日本人とは思えない楽曲センス。 キャッチーかつパンクしてて正にポップパンクだね。 かっこいい。

love when bigger name musicians give shout outs to the smaller artists. Wouldn't be here without Kurt, glad i came.

On this album the Knife simply drive into the music like a hot knife into butter. Such energy. One of my favourites of theirs.

I love this whole record. I played it so much back then that I wore out the cassette. I heard about them through Kurt Cobain hearing they were one of the bands he loved so I checked them out.... Glad I did.

No nonsense, straight down the line rock 'n' roll. Great live. Don't miss them next time they are in your town. Or take a flight to Japan for the full experience!

I just saw them last night in Osaka!!! Incredible

Thank you Cartoon Network for introducing us to Shonen Knife

Wow, the Ramones influence is inescapable. Nothing wrong with that of course; great little band!!

Ahhhhhh, music to smile by!

[@corioliseffect1204]

Sounds like The Ramones mixed with Dressy Bessy, Japanese style. Me like!

[@jaymythxxxx]

Absolutely right! The Ramones - one of the best bands ever. Dressy Bessy - my favourite band. Tailor-made for me.

[@randybutternubs4699]

Wow, I haven’t thought about Dressy Bessy since 2007, thanks for the reminder

[@DJNurseAnnabella]

Bought this on cassette when it was still brand new! Gotta say Nancy Yamano is one of the reasons why I decided to learn guitar. She's so underrated and one of the best riff writers imo.

[@jeremyleclerc4750]

This is super cool. We are here in 2021, space jump probably a promotion, life is better and clerks are, we all wish, better paid. Back then in 1992 I can imagine that the ''shonen'', it's universe, was probably a label that mostly appealled boys and young men. Great to see girls fending for themselves toward promoting their access to the entertainementship.

Had to talk to Robert and everything. Great gig!

[@ChrisKramer_]

help me this is so goood

[@pleeplace]

But another part of the group’s charm, as the New York Times wrote, “[lay] in the cultural gap between the records it [emulated] and the music it actually [played],”34 and “the cultural anomalies that resulted when a foreign band [taught] itself how to play American rock-and-roll with the innocence of a child reading the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.”
