When Americans into J-rock think about all-female acts, it\u2019s easy to flash back to the early \u201990s when acts like Shonen Knife and Cibo Matto first made their mark on the U.S. scene.<\/p>\n

Looking for something modern? Check out SCANDAL from Japan, a four-piece unit that blends pop, rock and alternative music sensibilities with contemporary fashion smarts. With their eighth album HONEY<\/em> (released in February on Epic Records), the group is gearing up for their first North American tour in three years, which includes two shows in Mexico, kicking off September 5th at New York\u2019s PlayStation Theater, with additional dates that month in San Francisco, Anaheim, Monterrey, Mexico City and Dallas.<\/p>\n

Originally formed in 2006 in Osaka and taking their name from a shop sign that hung near the studio where they practiced, SCANDAL from Japan consists of Haruna (lead vocals\/rhythm guitar), Mami (lead guitar\/backing vocals), Tomomi (bass\/lead vocals) and Rina (drums\/keyboards\/guitar\/backing vocals), who shared a love rock bands and artists ranging from Green Day, Foo Fighters and Paramore to the pop styling of Taylor Swift and Pink. Their own music has appeared in TV and anime series, and the band has its own original fashion brand \u2013 Feedback! \u2013 that is produced and designed by all of the members.<\/p>\n

For the new album, Haruna explains, \u201cWe focused this album around what we individually like to do as well as what we like to do as a group. We wanted to make music that represents all of us and also songs and subjects told from the standpoint of a girls\u2019 band.\u00a0 We also wanted to go all-in for the 10 -year anniversary of our debut. HONEY<\/em> pays homage to that and also shows has we have continued to evolve as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n
