Boredoms, or V∞redoms, are a rock band from Osaka, Japan. The band was formed in 1986 by Yamantaka Eye, who was previously the frontman for the controversial performance art act Hanatarash. Boredoms’ sound has been described as noise rock or “Japanoise,” with elements of psychedelic rock, ambient soundscapes, and tribal drumming. Their music is known for being chaotic and experimental, with Eye’s vocals ranging from screams to babbling. The band has gone through multiple lineup changes over the years, with drummer/vocalist Yoshimi P-We being the most consistent member alongside Eye.

Boredoms have released numerous albums and EPs throughout their career, including “Osorezan no Stooges Kyo,” “Soul Discharge,” “Pop Tatari,” “Chocolate Synthesizer,” “Super æ,” and “Vision Creation Newsun.” They have also gained attention for their live performances, such as the “77 Boadrum” event in Brooklyn in 2007, where they corralled 77 drummers to perform a massive live show.

Overall, Boredoms are known for their unique and unpredictable sound, constantly reinventing themselves and challenging the boundaries of what a band can be.
