They are hot, Japanese, and sound like Puffy Ami Yumi on methamphetamines—In other words, Gito is awesome.

I can’t make out if any of their lyrics are in English, but it’s doubtful. The guitars sound like a buzz saw tearing through sheet metal (picture a female Guitar Wolf, but with way more spunk). The music is vintage Cramps meets the Ramones, but with a surf style groove that licks the balls off most modern punk rawk bands.

Oooohs and ahhhhs punctuate every song, and if there was a way to sing along I’d be chanting to every word. The bass on “Mt. Fuji” is even more distorted than the guitars and the drums just bounce all over the place, but there is a method to Gito’s madness. The noise is controlled just enough to be fun and catchy, but destructive enough to sound like an aural clusterfuck. These girls are not to be messed with.
