Delving into the Indie Scene: Astlla’s ‘Brain No No Know’ EP (Vintage-001)
Today’s entry explores a piece from the deeper cuts of the 1980s Japanese hard rock and heavy metal underground: the debut 7-inch vinyl EP “Brain No No Know” by the band Astlla, released on the independent Vintage Records label with the catalog number Vintage-001.
Issued in 1987, this 45 RPM EP serves as a concise introduction to Astlla’s sound. Being the apparent first release on the Vintage Records label (judging by the catalog number), it represents the raw, unfiltered energy typical of independent releases from the era. The EP contains six tracks.
“Brain No No Know” showcases Astlla’s take on the hard rock and heavy metal styles prevalent in the Japanese scene during the mid-to-late 80s. Listeners can expect energetic guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and powerful vocals, capturing the ambition and spirit of a band making its mark outside the major label system.
For collectors of rare Japanese metal and hard rock, particularly those focused on the independent scene, Vintage-001 is a noteworthy artifact. It preserves the sound of Astlla’s debut and represents the output of a small indie label contributing to the diverse underground music landscape of the time.
