Bo-Peep is a trio with a very loud sound and agressive performances.
After their successful 2006 tour in 2006 of the UK, they were invited to several music festivals like The Great Escape, In The City in the UK , Fuji Rock in Japan, and SXSW in 2009. Their performance at SXSW in 2009 was acclaimed by the New York Times. After performing at SXSW in 2010, Bo-Peep embarked on a successful tour of the US east coast in November that year. BO-PEEP achieves the utmost simple chaos from their instruments, solid brittle lyrics and cage-rattling vocals. At the core of that chaos is pure harmony surrounding solid, catchy melodies and in that blend comes their originality. With MO’SOME TONEBENDER’s Isamu Fujita as engineer on their latest album, BO-PEEP’s studio recordings have the aura and power of live performances. Music available on iTunes throughout the world.

Crashing onto the global music scene like a diminutive but no less destructive monster, Bo-Peep are 3piece bands who make a very big noise.
Formed in Fukuoka, Japan and now based in Tokyo, Bo-Peep blend chaotic guitar riffs, brutal rhythm and manic vocals with a melodic sensibility that echoes the raw but infectious energy of the grunge era. With guitar, bass, drums and no added nonsense, Bo-Peep's three albums (including 2010's 'VIBE') and two mini-albums are loaded with savage songs that are all the more visceral in the flesh.
Bo-peep's explosive live reputation has seen them storm stages across Japan ,US and the UK. Japan's Fuji Rock Festival, Britain's The Great Escape and In The City. All have fallen under the might of Bo-Peep.
A Surprise from Japan! Years of rock-showcase experience have shown me that Japan likes to export jokey concept bands that quickly wear thin. So had I not looked at a wrong date in the SXSW schedule, I never would have ended up seeing BO PEEP, a three-woman hard-rock band from Tokyo. Lucky me. There was no joke about BO PEEP’s brutally efficient riffing, whether the band was bashing out brusque one-chord stomps or dissonant metal lines or blaring punk… BO PEEP could strongarm itself a place alongside any American or English stoner rock band, and should.

It’s hard to imagine the extent of this three-piece girl band’s dense, intense sound piercing the world as it does.
- Tower Records’ Bounce magazine, Japan
Dynamic, grunge-inflected rawk that hurts in the best way possible.
- Drowned In Sound
Tokyo's Bo-Peep offer a brutal take on the riot grrrl aesthetic, prowling the stage with menace.
- PlayLouder
Kind of makes me want to put my hair in bunches and dance around the room.
- Organ
Don't fall for their ‘butter wouldn’t melt’ looks. This is a very dynamic, furious and frantic Japanese trio... Their Ramones back-to-back-style delivery is giving us speedy three-minute slices of rock gold.
- Music Towers
Although the band make references to Western rock bands, Bo-Peep take in what they are inspired by and smash it out their own way.
