CATCH UP/Space Swing (1998)
Featuring Marimo on vocals and guitar, Minako (Minakumari) on guitar, Yoshiko on bass, and Mariko on drums, CATCH UP is a Japanese female alternative rock band known for their sharp, expressive sound.
Released in 1998, their first album Space Swing showcases the band's signature blend of distorted guitars and sugar-sweet pop-infused vocals. Their simple yet edgy alternative rock style draws listeners into an unfamiliar sonic universe. Each track unfolds a story shaped by the band's unique perspective, evoking a wide range of emotions.
