Boredoms (ボアダムス) (or V∞redoms) are an avant-garde rock band from Osaka, Japan. They were officially formed in 1986, although some date the band to bedroom tape experiments beginning in 1982. Their varied output is difficult to pigeonhole, but is usually referred to as noise rock or sometimes "Japanoise", though their more recent records have been largely based around repetitive minimalism and tribal drumming.
