DESCRIPTION:
"This Japanese all-girl quartet-turned-trio is almost certainly best known for appearing in the
movie Kill Bill, Vol. 1, or maybe for licensing their song "Woo Hoo" in
a commercial. They're a punky garage/rockabilly act who write songs like "She Was
a Mau Mau," "Motor Cycle Go-Go-Go," "I Was a Teenage Cave Woman," and
generally come off like a slightly less distortion-fixated, distaff
version of . Frontwoman Ronnie Fujiyama's last name is fortuitous, because she's every bit as raw a rock & roll howler as , who famously sang "Fujiyama Mama." Her guitar skills aren't half bad either; she cranks it up to almost
levels of scorch, as her sister, Fujii Sachiko, slams the kit and
bassist Omo throbs away. This is amped-up, three-chord rock & roll,
sometimes with simple lyrics and other times instrumental (but still
punctuated by high-pitched shrieks). The 5.6.7.8's are a Japanese
national treasure who deserve the international audience they've earned
through hard touring -- this compiles
their early singles and EPs (most of which are otherwise unavailable in
America, except for the first six tracks, which Sympathy for the Record
Industry released as the
EP), is a near-perfect introduction to the band (though it would have
been nice to have "I Walk Like Jayne Mansfield"), and may in fact be all
the casual fan needs." - Phil Freeman & allmusic.com
