    LOL. 
    Yeah, kinda.
    Shonen Knife are one of the seminal DIY punk bands from the 90's.
    They have 20 albums in total.
    They all sound pretty much the same though- Female Japanese Ramones pretty much sums up what they do.

    They came up in Twang Corner. I think further proof that all my posts on this forum are seminal reading.

    Your next stop:

    The 5,6,7,8's.

    Bit more garage/ surf influence, less strictly punk than Shonen Knife. :bz
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    College radio stations picked up on one of their songs when it came out, I think it might be called "My Favorite Town is Osaka"(?), at least that's that chorus hook line.  Catchy tune, I liked it.

    I saw them support Nirvana in about 1990, I think?
