The Floppy-Pinkies are a three-piece poppy punk rock band from Tokyo. Recorded in 2023 and released last month, Bells From The Bottom is their sophomore album. I stumbled on the record when visiting the basements of Bandcamp and was immediately grabbed by the band’s infectious songs. The Floppy-Pinkies evoke the raw, melodic punk rock vibes of the ’90s, reminiscent of bands that were on the roster of Go Kart! Records or Liberation Records rather than Fat Wreck or Epitaph. Admittedly, there are more than a little ’70s pop punk touches on Bells From The Bottom as well. The vocals of The Floppy-Pinkies are a major strength. The main singer has a range and sound comparable to Cinder Block of Tilt, and the band knows their way around catchy harmonies – listen to Bayside High School as exhibit A.
Included among the tracks is a cover of The Muffs’ Everywhere I Go. The high level of songwriting leads me to believe there may be more covers that I am missing. But regardless, this record is a whole lotta fun!
