What are you listening to?

I recently stumbled upon a band called "Maximum the Hormone" from Japan. In all my years of listening to metal/rock from around the world i have seen and heard nothing like it.

The music of the band is an experience by itself. They combine metal, funk, punk, pop, hardcore,alternative, rock - sometimes all these into a single song and the result and is an amazing energetic list of songs. Their energy on stage hits you like massive storm; and this left a lasting impression on me when viewing their videos. Interesting that i stumbled across this for the first time - in these times of transition. Their drummer (a lady) is amazing, and their vocal style seems to be like a "loop" of energy from one to another as all 4 of them sing in each song ranging form melodic pop (mostly sung by the drummer) to scatting, rapping and screams.

Here are two of their songs; "Maximum the Hormone II" and "Hungry Pride". Most of their videos on have over 20M views and it looks like they have a great cult following in Japan.
