We’re not sure if Screaming Maldini are, as their indie label P-Vine hopes based on the success of their eponymous launch album here, the next Big in Japan phenomenon. But we do know that their single “Summer Somewhere” is a wonderfully ambitious outing that encompasses indie rock, electronica and orchestral pop. Gina Walters is also one of the largest-lunged singers to emerge out of northern England in a good while. O-nest will be splitting at the seams to contain the six members and varied instrumentation of Screaming Maldini—catch them in their intimate Japan debut before they graduate to bigger stages.
