The Mad Capsule Markets Japanese band were originally a straight foward Punk band, which started life as Berrie (a tribute to their idols Bo0wy,) until they changed it to Mad Capsule Markets for their Debut Humanity. Their music combines heavy guitars with hard programmed beats, as well as many experiments into softer electronica based elements, reggae, and pop-influenced punk. Although they have released many albums in Japan, it has been their recent albums Osc-Dis (Oscillator in Distortion) and 010 which have brought them success in the West with the track Pulse from Osc-Dis being included on the soundtrack for the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 videogame. The lyrics, while quite often so distorted you cannot hear the exact words, varies between English and Japanese, often in one song. 1990-2004 Signed to JVC Victor Japanese Record Label until recently (2005) moving to Sonys Japanese Label.

The band has also had their music heavily featured in trailers on popular anime trailers released by Manga.
