Guitar Wolf

Guitar Wolf are the keepers of all blasted, hard, spazzed out songs, building a whole life on the bedrock of hyperactive RNR exhilaration.  This Japanese power-trio has been stupefying audiences at home and on the road since the late ’80s. In May 2019, Guitar Wolf released their 13th full-length album “LOVE&JETT” on Third Man Records, followed by a US tour focused on the East Coast and UK/EU tour. In Fall 2020, Guitar Wolf is coming back to the US to tour the West Coast + to play “LOVE&JETT” live loud.

“LOVE&JETT” is full of Guitar Wolf’s sweet, sweet love songs, all recorded in Japan.  This is the first album recorded with newest Bass Wolf (IV), Gotz, who joined the band in 2018.  While each song’s words (apart from a handful of song titles, 1-2-3-4’s plus a clever cover of Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme some Lovin’”) punch out in their Native Japanese, the adoring English-speaking public will be granted an insert enclosed in Each LP and CD with all lyrics translated to English.  (That means NO excuses to not have a haphazard bilingual sing-along on the tour.). The energy explodes on the scene with the title track’s opening 1-2 bass-snare piston-fire and truly does not let up at any point on the full album.  Guitar Wolf Seiji, Drum Wolf Toru, and Bass Wolf Gotz shine especially bright on “Sex Jaguar’, barely clocking in just in 2 minutes with chorus catchphrases and feline roars.

So with your heart flying high and faster than Mach speed, the untouchable legends Guitar Wolf are back to rush you away into another dimension.
