Nagasaki, Japan

With a vicious sound rivalling that of a jet engine, pioneering power-trio Guitar Wolf have been at the forefront of Japanese noise-punk for over three decades. Whether it’s in laying waste to club stages across the world or exploding zombie heads with revolver blasts in their very own feature film Wild Zero, everything Guitar Wolf does oozes can’t-look-away charisma. Combining elements of garage rock and rockabilly with leather jackets, grease and unbridled and infectious energy, the band is a testament to all things loud and chaotic.
