There are multiple artists named “Guernica”.
Here they are described in order of popularity on last.fm, in order to avoid all confusion.
1. The Guernica. Handsome young men from the suburbs of Brussels, Belgium. According to them, they play “indie trance”, but it is probably more sensible to describe them as avant rock, associating them with bands as Blonde Redhead or Unwound. However, people can and have heard bands like Pavement, American Football, early Trail of Dead, Hood, 90’s Sonic Youth, late Fugazi and lots of other indie outfits in the sound which remains their own. A sound with lots of interlocking, arpeggiated and melodic guitars, with varying intensity and a hidden complexity which keeps them relatively accessible. The first Guernica release was released early 2008 on Vlas Vegas Records. It’s called ‘Who Are Your Songs For?’ and is rocking the music charts all over the belgium.
2. Guernica (ゲルニカ), presumably named after the famous painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso, this Japanese trio from the 1980s specializes in avant-garde music in a retro 1920’s and 30’s cabaret style. Their early recordings are primarily electronic (using synthesizers instead of traditional acoustic instruments) but their later works are performed by a live orchestra.
The primary members of Guernica are:
* 戸川純 (Jun Togawa) - vocalist
