BABYMETAL

This creative girl group from Japan have broken a mould & created this idea of a new type of metal, and in order to achieve this, the members of the band receive "divine messages" from the Fox God… You know, the famous Fox god. (Is it Basil Brush?) Anyway, if that’s not a new way of looking at this band then I don’t know what is!

Push that though to one side for a moment though, the fanbase is HUGE!!!!! As is the desire for their merch. Get involved!!
