There have been at least two different bands called World.

1. World was a noisecore band from Osaka, Japan and consisted of Hiroshi Zen (a.k.a. Left; vocals and noise), Akira Kawabata (a.k.a. Right; vocals), Tadahiko Aono (a.k.a. Center; drums). Original drummer, Kaname Ohara, played on the band's frist 7-inch only. World started out circa 1995-1996. All of their noise was generated via a special microphone created by Hiroshi Zen. The band released five 7-inch singles before splitting up around 2000.

2. World was short-lived Dutch 'super group' of sorts, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. They released just one single: 'She Don't Care About Time' b/w 'Sunday' (Polydor, 1970). Band members were Cees Meerman, John Fredriks, Pim van der Linden, Ralph Norman and Ronnie Meyjes, all of whom had previously released music with fairly obscure Dutch beat bands such as Short '66, Kjoe, George Cash and Temple. Drummer Cees 'Ani' Meerman would later join Herman Brood & His Wild Romance. Read more on Last.fm.
