CHOPSTICK RECORDS

I run a small, DIY record label and I created this page to share my love and passion for the Japanese hardcore scene. I publish here interviews with musicians and other relevant articles, like bands info, album and gig reviews etc. If you love Japanese hardcore music, I believe you will enjoy this space.

Everything about Japanese harcore!

Mag: I set up my record label, Chopstick Records in 2020. The whole idea was born from the absolute passion and life long love for hardcore tunes in general, but along the way I've discovered and fell in love with Japanese bands. Japanese hardcore, in my opinion is one of the greatest scenes out there. Almost everything I get to hear from Japan is somehow genius. I want to release and reissue the best or some rare (or preferably both) hardcore/punk/crust/grindcore/oi! albums with limited stock and collectible designs. But most importantly, I want to promote the new bands and young artists. I created this blog mainly to publish the interviews I've done with Japanese musicians and other people involved in the scene for my social media, but also other related articles, album reviews etc. I want to share the love for Japanese hardcore on this side of the world.
