Overdrive (Shonen Knife Album)
''Overdrive'' is the 19th studio album by Japanese pop punk trio Shonen Knife. It was released on April 14, 2014 in Europe, and on April 16, 2014 in Japan. According to band leader Naoko Yamano, because their album ''Free Time (album), Free Time'' (2010) was heavily influenced by punk rock, and ''Pop Tune'' (2012) had explored a more popular music, pop-oriented sound, ''Overdrive'' was a chance for the band to explore a more hard rock sound. The album's lyrics cover a wide array of topics, from green tea, fortune cookies, and cats. The CD album artwork was created by Masahiko Ohno; three different color variations were released, with each corresponding to either Japan, North America, or Europe.
