Review by Len Lukowski

If you love Shonen Knife wholly you will probably enjoy Osaka Ramones to some extent. Otherwise, begin with a different album. »

shonen knife celebrate their 30th anniversary by paying tribute to their "biggest musical inspirations," the ramones! the album features 13 ramones classics, performed by the band as 'osaka ramones' and released in conjunction with their 30th anniversary tour. "osaka ramones" is not only the name of this tribute album, but is also the name of the side project which has made its way in and out of shonen knife's performing history for decades. this east meets west punk rock combination is now captured in an album recorded and mixed between osaka, jp and new york over the last year and was co-produced by robby takac of the american rock band goo goo dolls. track listing: 1. blitzkrieg bop 2. rock 'n'roll high school 3. we want the airwaves 4. she's the one 5. rockaway beach 6. sheena is a punk rocker 7. scattergun 8. psycho therapy 9. the kkk took my baby away 10. we're a happy family 11. chinese rock 12. beat on the brat 13. pinhead
