A record that symbolizes the indie/punk scene of the late 90s.
It was recorded at Motor Studios in San Francisco, USA, and produced by punk legend Ryan Greene.
The trinity of simple and straightforward chord progressions, Akihiro Namba's passionate vocals, Akira Tsuneoka's tight drumming, and Ken Yokoyama's catchy guitar work together to establish Hi-Standard's unique sound, which somehow coexists with a sense of sadness and elation. This important work was highly praised in the overseas punk scene and marked their international breakthrough.
