For this week’s Video Pick I chose Endzweck - a Japanese hardcore/screamo band (Sorry to those of you who were mislead by the title and were hoping to find Japanese Hardcore Porn. Put your one-eyed monsters away for now.)

The first time I saw those guys was back in 2006 during one of my visits to Japan. Actually I didn’t even know who they were at the time, but their crazy performance left an everlasting impression. Endzweck brings a new definition to the phrase “Those crazy Japanese”. Their music is powerful and aggressive with intelligent and sometimes provocative lyrics. Their style is a mixture of hardcore, screamo and emo.

So check their MySpace page and videos out, and if you’re ever in Japan or even somewhere in Asia, make sure to see them live. You won’t regret it, I mean you might regret it if you listen to 50 cent, Fergie, Dj Tiesto or some shit like that, otherwise go see their show!
