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."
