Mugen Hoso are a two-piece rock band from Japan. They sound like the perfect mix of the Clash and the Ramones. They do not sing in English, and their harmonies are outlandishly good. Needless to say, they are fucking awesome. Good? Fine, I'll say some more. Seen in concert, Mugen Hoso are whirling dervishes of energy. All of the feeling confined to the minimalist arrangement of one drum set and one guitar is expelled in torrents of sweat and gigantic sound. The guitarist is an unbridled explosion of unironic high kicks, crowd-leaps, and joyous high fives. Going to a Mugen Hoso show is a workout for both the ears and all of your other underutilized extremities. Dip into the bathroom for toilet paper earplugs and prepare to be sore for the next day or so.
