Album Notes & Community Reviews

Simultaneously celebrated by Kurt Cobain and the Western alternative underground, the all-female Japanese trio delivered an infectious blast of quirky pop-punk. '712' balances 1960s girl-group melodies with raw, Ramones-inspired guitar energy, serving as a highly playful and crucial breakthrough for the band.
