 "The main misconception about Boredoms is considering them a noise band."

 "It really seems strange to us that a major label has signed a contract with a lousy group like ours. It would be fine, after all, if we were mediocre, but we are truly awful. I believe there has never been a label in history that has released albums as bad as ours. How is it possible that such a dreadful band manages to sell so many records?" - Yamatsuka Eye
