Almost twenty years into their career, The Fadeaways are still spreading their raw and raucous garage punk around the world, as loud and wild as ever. On their latest, self-titled album, the Japanese trio – Toyozo (vocals, bass), Ozzy (drums) and Assman (guitar) – prove once again what they are so good at: mixing energy and passion with earworm melodies and catchy harmonies. Here are ten explosive guitar-driven songs full of fuzz, both originals and covers, that will do very well in the mosh pit. The opening track (1966) reveals where the inspiration comes from, the closing cover (Count Five’s Psychotic Reaction) reflects what kind of effect this record can have.

The Fadeaways’ self-titled album is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Groovie Records.
