CONFUSE was a noise punk hardcore band that started in Kyushu, Japan. They released a few records ("Indignation", "Nuclear Addicts", "Contempt For The Authority And Take Off The Lie", "Atrocious madness", and "Stupid Life") throughout the time they were around. They started off with a really raw noise Discharge type style and then evolved into a bouncier, more melodic sound. People tend to favor their old sound over the new one. Confuse are currently the most bootlegged Japanese band there is, and there have been multiple reissues and bootlegs of their material. Confuse also have a video called Live At State 9th, where they played live at State 9th University in Japan. Confuse are no longer around, but were around for most of the early 80's, all the way up to 1989 where they released Stupid Life, which was the poppiest, bounciest album they've released. After this they broke up. Confuse were apparently associated with bands like Gai and possibly Gauze and G.A.S.. Lyrics to their songs can be found if you look hard enough. The lyrics to the songs are really just extremely garbled English [i.e.: "In your room, loves spread, in the fiction days you lie! In your room, loves spread, in the every night, you're a fucker!" (lyrics to "Fuckin' Lovers" off the Contempt 7")]. All in all, Confuse were a great band with lots of energy that seem to go often unnoticed even with being the biggest bootlegged Japanese band there is. After CONFUSE broke up, some band members continued to play in bands: the lead singer is, allegedly, in a folk band now. The last CONFUSE bassist (Stupid Life 12") was in Eevee. Passy (the bass player on "Nuclear Addicts") is in a band called High Societys. Moreover, there's rumours of ex-members of Confuse still showing up at Kyushu-area gigs decked out in the finest NYHC jogging suits & $200-dollar high-top basketball shoes. http://www.discogs.com/artist/829278 http://punk-archives.wikispot.org/Confuse http://shit-fi.com/Articles/JapaneseNoise/Confuse.html https://files.nyu.edu/cch223/public/japan/confuse_main.html http://www.cvltnation.com/a-lifetime-of-suffocation-the-cathedral-of-confuse/
