THE URCHIN
Fragile Songs In Lukewarm Dreams (Broken Rekids)

Basically, all you need to know about this band is that they're a fast-playin' punk rock band, kind of along the lines of what the Descendants were doing musically almost 20 years ago except with a much more tragic-sounding bent. I guess you call that stuff "emo" now-God knows I don't know. From the press kit, it appears that the band is from Japan, and the titles of the songs are awesome and perhaps the best part of the songs: "Fling a Bottle to the Cold Wall," "Field of Darkness," "21st Century Naked King," and "Another Three Cheers to Japanese Capitalistic Regulation Troops" are my favorite titles out of the 14 songs listed here, although, like most punk rock, I can't tell what the lyrics of the songs are and exactly how they fit these gorgeous titles.
