The Weekly Quickie: BLACKLINE, GOTCHAROCKA, D=OUT, TRIGGAH, CARDIA, The 3rd Birthday

We'll start off this week with a little bad news.  Heavy rock band, BLACKLINE, will be disbanding following their final live on December 16.  The breakup announcement was first spotted on Mikaru's Facebook where he expressed regret and a continuing love for BLACKLINE and its members and just after, he made the promise that his solo project G.L.A.M.S. is forever.  He seems pretty bummed out about the whole deal, so make sure to pop over to his Facebook and send him messages of support.

PV Analysis: GOTCHAROCKA - 'Virginity'

GOTCHAROCKA is led by Jui on vocals and completed by Jun on guitar and Toya also on guitar. Active from May of 2012, they've released one mini album and one full length as of this writing, along with 4 singles. Taken from the titular track on their mini-album,  The PV for Virginity is a strange depiction of one man's issues with the cafe he's selected for a post-shopping experience, accompanied by a rocking track that seems to loop itself in a cautionary tone.
