The all-female Japanese pop punk band SHONEN KNIFE have built up an impressive international fanbase thanks to more than three decades of melding 1960s pop melodies with No Wave aesthetics (even fronting a Ramones cover-band called The Osaka Ramones). Although the group was relatively unknown in America until the early ’90s, Shonen Knife turned heads by opening for alt-rock powerhouses like Nirvana and Sonic Youth. Their bouncy, bubblegum pop gets a dose of heavier, 1970s arena rock on their newest album, Overdrive; however, Naoko Yamano’s lyrics remain as happily quotidian as ever.
