Bacon

Formed in 2000 in Osaka, Bacon is a hard rocking, upbeat band featuring lots of big guitar chords and a signature Moog synth. Over the past seven years, Bacon has only released two full length album as well as a split single with the now hugely popular Base Ball Bear in 2005. While Bacon hasn't managed to obtain the same success as their friends, they certainly have the same positive sound and feel-good vibe.

While Bacon hasn't managed to obtain the same success as their friends, they certainly have the same positive sound and feel-good vibe. The Moog elements have a strong feel of The Rentals or early Weezer, which fits nicely with their solid indie-rock songs.

Much like Asian Kung-fu Generation and Yogurt Pooh, who they also sound a bit like in their more rocking moments, Bacon is the sound of emo before emo was emo. Namely, extremely melodic and slightly retro, but with very loud rock guitars and earnest vocals.
