Product Description: Discontent has a new name, and it is SADAHARU. SADAHARU'S 2003 debut "Anthem For New Sonic Warfare" received critical praise and soundly placed them on the map with their dancy blend of rock, jazz, and hardcore. After a year and half of solid touring, the band drops "The Politics of Dancing", a more polished, focused album full of rock and roll revolution. Named one of Alternative Press's "100 Bands You Need to Know in 2005," this is the album that your record collection is missing. One thing is for certain... Discontent never sounded so good.

Reviews:
"One of the 100 Bands You Need To Know in 2005” -Alternative Press

"Dancable, politically-charged post punk... Remarkably hip-shaking high-energy gems... Raging angular riffs, groove-laden rhythms and prickly vocals.” -CMJ

"By refusing to align to a single genre, Sadaharu's punk-jazz-metal fusion shakes out in unexpected jolts, giving the record a ferocious edge.” -Revolver

"So if I told you that I was gonna start a band, and in that band, Id mix punk, hardcore, and jazz, youd probably call me crazy, right? Yeah, well, not only would I not be crazy, I wouldnt be original, either, because SADAHARU have been doing it for a while now... REFUSED meets FUGAZI meets DRIVE LIKE JEHU. Seriously, it is that good.” -AMP

"Sadaharu will completely melt your face with The Politics Of Dancing. This disc packs a punch as it contains raw aggression, energy, and passion while still sounding infectious in a way that most rockers would love to sound.” -Acclaimed Punk

"These guys have that Punk meets James Brown feel... TPOD makes you want to scream, slam, and swagger like theres no tomorrow... If youre listening in your car, better hope you have tinted windows, or be prepared to show the world what a dance party in a car looks like.” -Louder Magazine

"A delectable hybrid of MC5 like riffage and a highly contagious package of raw energy, one thing is certain on first listen: This band not only rocks, but could easily convince the listener that they have a Ph.D. in rocking out.” -National Noise

"The riffs and screams are locked tight; a herky jerk that would make the members of The Jesus Lizard hanker for a reunion.” -Chord

"Discordant, unnerving hardcore for polisci majors” -Co-Ed

"The songs are energetic and powerful, yet catchy and melodic. Its as if Fugazi and Black Sabbath are in a musical shouting match with no apparent loser." -The Burg

"In a sea of imitators, Sadaharu stand out, and for all the right reasons... Vigorous drum lays propel limber guitar strides that are at once hunkered down and expansive, while guitarist Jeff Breil sings/speaks pro-autonomous exhortations as if the mere thought of having to implore people to think individually leaves a bad taste in his mouth.” -The Journal Review

"Like a distorted trumpet calling all other hardcore acts to stop trying to fit into the hardcore mold, Sadaharu is the rallying cry that most bored listeners have been waiting for.” -Pulse

"Jittery, screamy, anxious post-hardcore... You can literally hear how these guys are flailing their guitars around on every single song.” -Swagger

"Beneath the relentless vocal assaults, you'll discover angular fragments of raw energy that fuse into sweeping waves of jazz/blues overtures." -Spended Magazine
