Img source Here is my entry for Three Tune Tuesday (or #ttt), along with my daily HSBI raffle at the end of this post. As usual, a big shoutout to @ablaze for keeping this thing going strong on Hive! Today I want to share three tunes that are short, like really short. It’s Ramadan and I’m fasting, so I just want something quick and simple. What else, if not punk rock, would suit that criteria? Let’s start with some Asian Pride. Hi-Standard – Asian Pride Hi-Standard came out of Japan in the early 1990s and somehow managed to plug directly into the 90s melodic punk. They sang mostly in English, signed with Fat Wreck Chords, and built a bridge between the Japanese scene and the Western skate punk world. “Asian Pride” is one of their shortest songs. It’s a fun tune that has a good solo guitar and riff despite the short length. But what makes it stick for me is the attitude. There is a clear sense of identity in the title alone. It is not overexplained. In less than a minute, it delivers. N
