The Akabane Vulgars on Strong Bypass

The Akabane Vulgars On Strong Bypass is a Allternative Neo Punk-A-Billy Rock Trio, formed in Akabane (Tokyo), Japan in 2005. Bassist, Miki Uchizono was the proposer of the band. She had the idea and the right persons for the lineup. Great power Drummer, Kei Sofue was her classmate, Singer/Guitarist Yumi Uchizono was her sister. Originally the band had played just a few covers from Japanese garage rock bands, not making their own originals. After 7 months passed, (they kept playing), the band made their minds up to start their own works. Singer/Guitarist Yumi guesses that a common blueprint as the core concept of the band came up in their minds in those days. After this point, their theme closed in upon punk with 'suspecting the system'. We are the punks, this keep the band running, even after 10 years passed. In 2007, the band got more active. They performed 4-6 shows per months in the next 5 years. Through those hundreds of shows, the band tried everything they could think of to make their passion and create through original works. Also they passed through several recordings in this period. And then they launched 3 albums (self-released). The band also experienced several band tours with those albums. Their aggressive tours extended to Kansai area from Tokyo. Their earnest attitude for a live performance caused the band to be called “the band of a live performance.” And some people started to call them that they have rockabilly, psychobilly vibes in their music. Others called them garage rock band. The band made a comment for this, and it says that a thing secure the most is our spirits come from punk. As they say like this, the band has many songs with the lyrics denouncing things oppressive against human rights. The band took the stage at SXSW 2012. The stage led them to retuning whole the US tour. Taking 2 months, their tour van crossed over the country from Southern California to NYC. The band had a recording during the tour. Next year, in 2013, they got back again to the United States with 2 full-length albums. One was “Proclamation” showing their punk attitude straight, and the other was their first live-recording album “Live in Brooklyn”. Having many shows on the road, the band met a multitude of music writers. The band sometimes appeared in articles with legendary power pop rock band, Shone knife, and got reviewed that they are the emerging new generation band that renew the impression of J-Rock.
