The Profile

Urusei Yatsura was a Scottish indie/noise-pop band formed in Glasgow in the 1990s, known for short, noisy, melodic songs and a name taken from Japanese manga/anime.

Scottish indie band formed in Glasgow in the early 1990s; name derived from the Japanese manga/anime Urusei Yatsura; noted for noise-pop/alternative rock sound and several studio and live releases.

A short, affectionate take on Urusei Yatsura's noisy, fast pop sound as heard on We Are Urusei Yatsura. The review evokes 1990s Scotland and comparisons to Pavement and Sonic Youth. Overall appreciation with a measured three-out-of-five rating.
