“…The Binges struck a chord of nostalgia in me; their name rang a bell but the connection was elusive. It clicked later: they had an initial run in the mid-2000s, releasing music in 2007 and 2008, then took a hiatus for roughly ten years. They made a comeback in 2019, releasing a few singles that once again showcased their musical vitality.
Their recent performance left an indelible mark; The Binges were nothing short of electrifying. The Okai sisters, Tsuzumi on bass and Mayuko on guitar, were a force to be reckoned with. Tsuzumi, in particular, captivated me with her unique blend of funk-infused basslines amidst the heavier rock melodies. Post-performance, I felt compelled to compliment her innovative style. Travis on drums played with an intensity that bordered on the supernatural, and Dylan exuded the quintessential rock star’s charm and presence.
The impression they made was profound, and my enthusiasm for their music has been thoroughly rekindled. I eagerly anticipate the next opportunity to experience their dynamic energy and raw, rollicking performances again…”
