1000 Travels Of Jawaharlal


1000 Travels Of Jawaharlal are a three-piece post-hardcore/emo/screamo band from Kita-Kyushu, Japan that began in 1999 and ended in 2004. They were an incredibly unique band, taking influence from the hardcore roots of bands like Dag Nasty or Ignition and blending it with the darker, off-kilter sounds of bands like Yaphet Kotto. They had a genre-defying penchant for melody and song structure, with a sound that was equal parts melancholy and energy. Their sole LP, Owari Wa Konai is criminally underrated, and really in a league of its own with a distinct, impassioned sound. Highly recommended stuff. Enjoy.

    I love this band so much... And I never realized how much until I lost their collected work in a catastrophic hard drive failure a few years ago.

    Thank you, sincerely, for this. Once again, Sophie's Floorboard provides evidence for the power of blogs and the resultant RSS!

    (P.S. 1000 Travels Of Jawaharlal is now drowning out the drone of the neighbors and the gratitude for that is unexplainable in its sincerity :))

    Toured with these guys in Europe in 2003. One of the few bands I ever toured with for an extended amount of time that I would go out of my way to make sure I saw every night. Fucking outstanding and highly underrated. Still feel privileged that I got to see them every night for almost a month straight.

    Really enjoy this band. I heard them on the split with aghast and thought both bands were awesome

    These guys together with Yaphet Kotto are probably my two favorite bands ever and I've been searching for stuff similar to them for ages but I have never quite found a band that scratches that same itch... any recommendations?
