‘DNA vs DNA-c’ by Ultra Bidé is a sonic manifesto from one of Japan’s most restlessly inventive punk outfits. Formed in Kyoto in the late 1970s, Ultra Bidé have always defied easy categorization, and this album makes their contrarian spirit impossible to ignore. From jagged riffs to sudden rhythmic left-turns, the record pulses with an experimental edge that feels as confrontational as it is liberating. The band’s playful, almost dadaist approach to song structure and lyricism transforms each track into a challenge and an invitation: step outside the expected, and experience rock music at its most unfiltered and unpredictable. ‘DNA vs DNA-c’ is both a distillation of punk’s anti-establishment ethos and a blueprint for the avant-garde, refusing nostalgia in favor of perpetual reinvention. For collectors and adventurous listeners, this album stands as a vibrant document of Japan’s underground scene—raw, humorous, and bursting with ideas. If your vinyl shelf hungers for something to jolt it awake, Ultra Bidé’s uncompromising vision demands your attention.
