Boris are a Japanese band who have roughly 40 releases that cover a plethora of genres; drone/stoner/rock/doom/metal/psyche/experimental/noise/hardcore and most recently, pop and electronic music. I was browsing their photo album on last.fm and noticed that they have consistently fantastic promo shots. If anyone knows who took these photos I would love to know/credit them.

If you’re interested in listening to Boris the compilation “Variations” is a good place to start. I’ve not seen it available for sale outside Japan so I’ll assume it’s OK to link a copy, courtesy of the excellent Music for the Masses.
