Introduction
China's punk rock band, Brain Failure sings in English and
Mandarin, belting melodic, upbeat ditties. Brain Failure'S
power-packed lineup is: Xiao Rong on lead vocals and guitar, Wang
Jian on guitar, Ma Jiliang on bass, and Xu Lin on drums. Appearing
on China's first punk compilation, Wuliao Jundui, they soon started
a punk rock revolution. Brain Failure has since become the first
Chinese punk band to release their album and tour widely on the
international scene. With the release of their album Turn on
the Distortion in 2002, on Japanese independent label Bad News
Records, they have toured in Asia and the United States. In 2003,
they performed at the Austin SXSW, and New York CMJ music
festivals. They have also performed with punk rock greats,
including Dropkick Murphys and The Casualities in California,
Dillinger Four in Chicago, and with The Forgotten in Japan. In
January 2004, Brain Failure finished recording their second album
with Dropkick Murphys bassist Ken Casey. In a Boston Globe
article about the recording, Casey praises Brain Failure saying "I
love their music," and that "their musicianship is incredible, and
the songs are very catchy. It's real interesting to see a band come
out of a place where punk rock is very much underground, while over
here it is so commercialized."
