Invoking their namesake, ED WOODS draw on 50’s sci-fi and B movie hysteria for their trash rock ’n’ roll sound. Forming in 1995 amidst the Tokyo garage scene, ED WOODS became notorious for their gore and horror filled live shows. Since then, the band has played at the legendary CBGB alongside PEELANDER-Z as well as Tokyo's Back from the Grave Returns among countless other punk and hardcore events. 2012 saw the release of their first full-length Wild Dude which cemented their rep for being, well, wild dudes!

LOS CHAMPIONS are veritable supergroup made up of some key players in the Japanese garage scene. With the exception of shrieker and key-pounder Akko Champion, everyone does double duty or has jammed with major Japanese noise makers. Taka and Tetsuya Champion both play in THE VOLUME OUT! and rocker duo RUNAWAY BROTHERS, but America audiences might know Tetsuya better as Peelander Black! Sanshiro Champion has drummed for THEEE BAT and EDDIE LEGEND STORY and Billy Champion is also the double bass slapping psycho from ED WOODS! So all of these RNR lovin' weird-ohs got together and donned punked-out luchador masks to blast out screeching surf 'n' soul garage thumpers around Tokyo.

TRACK LIST:
SIDE A SIDE B PACIFICTION REVIEW:Featuring two terrifyingly terrific Japanese garage bands on one ferocious 7" EP, this record spins four songs at 45rpm on clear, blood-red vinyl. Trash rock 'n' roll thrashers ED WOODS meet surf 'n' soul punks LOS CHAMPIONS with alternating tracks on both sides for an extra-special twisted listening experience. The album art, with illustrations by Naoya from BOBBY's BAR, is a parody of horror comics like Tales from the Crypt by gore story pioneers EC Comics and is printed on glossy paper to give it that old school magazine feel. Throw on side A for some wild dude party action and side B for some surf sounds! All tracks were masterfully mastered by Soichiro Nakaura at Peace Music who has been at the helm of projects by Japanese underground acts including YURA YURA TEIKOKU, AFRIRAMPO, THE 5678's, BORIS and GUITAR WOLF to name just a few. |
