Several university students from Osaka formed this rock band in 2001 and quickly rose to notoriety in Japan and Taiwan where they played the Wild Scream Festival in 2005. They have two full length releases in Japan as well as a collaboration CD with Taiwanese punk rock legends LTK.

LTK, also known as Loh Tsui Kweh Commune, have a reputation for being a wildly surreal and often mockingly destructive band in Taiwan due to their degenerate lyrics and shockingly antics on and off stage. Drawing on punk and grunge which was leaking its way across the Pacific at the time the band formed in 1990, as well as Taiwan folk and nakasi, a rustic working class-themed local music, LTK are known as one of the more abrasive Taike bands on the island. This has made their style humorously Taiwanese, yet filled with a raucous punk attitude.

TRACK LIST:
PACIFICTION REVIEW:This daft collaboration between LEGONIC TRAP, an eclectic rock band from Osaka, and Taiwan's rustic-punk legends LTK is an ear-grabbing find for Asian music aficionados. "No Pain No Gain" features LTK with their classic happy-go-lucky vibe, moments of CLASH-style power chords and oldies sounding outros. Next, LEGONIC TRAP goes into a synthesizer-laced alternative ballad with intense bursts of emotional experimentation. The final song has LEGONIC TRAP covering a classic LTK song with an with as much energy as the original. This might actually be the first time a Japanese band has recorded an underground Taiwanese song making this CD sort of a historical landmark in its own right. |
