About Guitar Wolf
Guitar Wolf formed in Tokyo around singer and guitarist Seiji, with Billy on bass and Toru on drums. The band's records sit somewhere between Link Wray, the Ramones and 1950s rock and roll, recorded so hot that the guitars and vocals break up into distortion. Seiji calls the style "jet rock 'n' roll", and the band sticks to a uniform of leather jackets, sunglasses and pompadours.
In the 1990s they were released in the US by Matador, on albums including Missile Me! and Jet Generation. They also starred as themselves in the Japanese zombie film Wild Zero. Billy died in 2005, and Seiji has kept the trio going with new members since.
