Garlic Boys

Osaka Finest Punk Rock since 1985

About Me

Starting in 1985 and playing a blend of Thrash / Hardcore crossover, the band released their debut album Psycho Thrash in 91 and spent much of the year touring Japan with the likes of D.R.I. and EXODUS. Then moving in style to the more distinctive melodic punk sound and releasing two more albums Declaration of Narcissism and Poem the band toured Japan and the U.S.A with bands like NOFX, Sick Of It All, All You Can Eat, H2O, Madball, Youth Brigade, Propagandhi, Hi-Standard, Lagwagon, face to face, Strung Out, Gas Huffer,The Offspring, which brings the band onto their 1997's offering Love a more straight forward approach delivered with passionately heartfelt conviction. The band is widely known in the 'trendy' underground scene in Japan as the 'godfathers of new school japanese hardcore'. They have been active in the scene for more than a decade, still sticking to their distinctively metal-ish hardcore sound. Releases on Alchemy and Larry's own Rotten Orange Records and strenous touring throughout Japan landed them a deal with major label Epic/Sony Japan, where they have been churning out 'hardcore hits'. Rotten Orange Records has been responsible for introducing the scene to other fine hardcore acts such as the now disbanded Nunchaku, funny-band Space Combine and Panorama Afro and grrl hardcore band Yellow Machineguns. Strictly Japanese-sounding Japanese HC for Japanese people.
