Lance Lot - Eat The Dream (1986)

Lance Lot - Eat The Dream (1986)

Lance Lot are another obscure Japanese punk band. However, over at 7 Inch Punk blog a commenter, Yoshi Chiba, claiming to be the bass players brother left a couple messages in 2008:

"Hello, I’m a brother of the base player of Lance Lot. Lance Lat was playing around mid 80’s at Boredom Market in Sendai-city with Vomits and “Eat the dream” was recorded in/around 1986. All memners of Lance Lot were 16 years old when recording. Ha Ha Ha. They were just local punk kids in Ishinomaki, Miyagi, Japan."

"Hello, I’m a brother of the base player of Lance Lot. Actually, they were playing as Lance Lot in/around 1984-1988, and “Eat the Dream” was recorded in 1986 in Ishinomaki, Miyagi, Japan, which is their home town. When “Eat the Dream” was recorded, they were just 16years old. Ha Ha Ha. On the other hand, they were mainly playing with Vomits at Boredom Market in Sendai-city. Do you have any question?"

The fact that these guys were 16 when they recorded this is impressive. I mean, it's easy to compare to today when you can see toddlers shred Yngwie Malmsteen tracks after '2 seconds of practice, lol'
But when you consider this is mid 80s, in a country where many punk bands were playing fast and unintelligible GAI worship, the record is an impressive feat in itself.

The vocals are a nice mix of burly shouts, snotty blurts, and chants. Not quite Sakevi, but still powerful and mean sounding.The drums are probably the most impressive, with a variety of beats, tempos, and fills. Along with the drums, the guitars are impressive. I'd assume there is a bit of a Motorhead influence here. Especially with all those bendy solos.The bass is nice and heavy. Laying down a wrought-iron base for the guitars to churn over. I know i keep saying that these instruments are impressive, but they are. It's a crying shame that Lance Lot only recorded this, as well as two tracks for Hardcore Showcase (1989), because this is some crucial ripping, meaty hardcore punk.
