“Don’t move the needle, just the red zone” – this quote from Guitar Wolf during a recording session immediately shows what they’re all about: three men and their dedication to true Rock’n’Roll!
Unlike many other rock bands, Guitar Wolf have truly embraced Rock’n’Roll as a way of life, like no one ever has before, and you can hear it in their songs: sweat, blood, tears and pure energy. Wild, destructive Rock’n’Roll anthems! But Rock’n’Roll isn’t enough for a band like Guitar Wolf. In fact, they are the inventors of an entire genre, “Jet Rock’n’Roll”, which best illustrates their skilful blend of punk, rock and noise!
Guitar Wolf have earned their cult status worldwide like no other Japanese band before! Their ferocious live performances and participation in the Trash-Rock’n’Roll film “Wild Zero” have attracted worldwide attention.
They have released thirteen studio albums internationally as well as a live album, numerous singles, and a retrospective compilation called Golden Black. The band members have also been featured in two B-grade science fiction horror films: Wild Zero and Sore Losers. A collection of Guitar Wolf’s most popular videos and live performances have been compiled into a limited-edition DVD titled Red Idol.

The Cyanide Pills from Leeds, England, are probably the greatest band in the world… Think of The Boys, Buzzcocks, The Briefs, Ramones and you know what’s going on here. These cool guys play your favorite punk rock songs, wrapped in bubble gum and candy floss, with a very British, cheeky 1977 punk attitude, deeply rooted in pub rock and glam, and take the songwriting to total perfection.
Damaged Goods Records London signed the band right away and their debut single ‘Break It Up’ came out in early 2009. Their selftitled debut album got released in 2010. And the rest is history.
Tours all over Europa keep coming in year by year and the Pills are releasing one single and album after the other, with only singalong catchy super hits on them, its difficult to not love them.
They call themselves a bunch of dysfunctional misfits, outsiders, people with ‘baggage’ and untrustworthy losers. But they make a great sound, so forget this biog crap and go listen to them. It’s the only thing they do well!

Rising from the ashes of ’90s pop-punk pioneers Home Alone, RETARDED were born in Voghera and debuted in 1998 with three singles and a self-titled LP, fully inspired by the Ramones. Over the years, the album became a landmark for fans of what would later be called Ramonescore—recently, Rolling Stone even included it in their list of the Top 10 Italian punk albums of the ’90s.
The album was followed by two more LPs, two split CDs with Dutch band The Apers and American band The Huntingtons, a long series of 7” singles, and several compilations and collections.
RETARDED have played over 450 shows across Europe and completed two U.S. tours, sharing the stage with bands like NOFX, Turbonegro, Ben Weasel, Queers, Teenage Bottlerocket, Travoltas, Squirtgun, and many more.
After disbanding in 2009, the band reunited in 2022, releasing a series of singles and a brand-new album in January 2024, titled “Same as the First”.
The record is a clear statement of intent—both a nod to the Ramones (as Dee Dee shouted in “Judy is a Punk”: “Second verse, same as the first”) and a declaration of their unwavering commitment to a raw, straightforward punk rock aesthetic, stripped of any unnecessary frills (“I don’t waste my time, I’ll repeat always the same,” sing RETARDED in the album’s title track). It’s also a promise to return to their roots, revisiting the spirit of their beloved debut album.
They released a bunch of singles since then. Hey ho lets go!
