NEWS_SHIT
Oi-ssu, (25th march 2003) Oh PLEASE don't plagiarize this site. It has happened before, so please be a responsible person and don't simply take shit off the site without asking me and putting it in your crappy glossy magazine and shittier fanzines. Also I made the page wider (at 800 pixels). If you can't fully view it, then TOO BAD. also as you can see the site looks different. this happens every year or so, and I'm in the midst of renewing the whole site as we speak.

p/s edited the Hellchild, Rise from the Dead & World pages that had some stylesheet problems.

Got a complaint or money to give me? Email IRMAN

DISCLAIMER
the owner of J-Underground no longer resides in Japan so some shit could be really old shit. the owner seldom plays grindcore in his band too, preferring to DJ and produce drum n bass and get hot chicks in clubs. nevertheless he's a drum n bass punk. because drum n bass = grind. or something like that.

enjoy the site!
