do they have anything out!
All I ever found was youtube videos and a myspace http://www.myspace.com/thecopsareinsideus and a request on skreamyourlungsout that was never answered.

I lived in Kyoto for about half a year doing the exchange student/ekaiwa thing. I got out to a handful of shows, and the scene seemed pretty solid, if small. Loma came through on tour, which was kind of cool, even though I missed the show.

I never made it to Okinawa, but I've really wanted to go ever since some older punk guy in Kumamoto got me into the sanshin.
