TRACKLIST
A FEW WORDS
Cheersquad Records & Tapes are thrilled to release the first single ‘Rack My Mind’ from the upcoming album ‘Pretty Wild’ 2024 Australian Tour LP by Japan’s high-octane garage rock sensation, THE FADEAWAYS.
Be prepared to be swept off your feet as they crash onto Australian shores for their explosive debut tour. The tour LP contains 4 originals and 4 tasty covers showing their love for 60’s garage, punk & psych.
Since their inception in Tokyo in 2005, Toyozo (vocals and bass), Assman (guitar), and Ozzy (drums) have not just played music; they’ve orchestrated a garage punk rock revolution, deeply infused with the raw energy of ’60s garage punk and ’70s punk trash.
THE FADEAWAYS are more than a band; they’re a spectacle of high energy, garage, pop, and punk music brilliance, dressed in super cool matching ’60s Europop-inspired outfits that scream style as loud as their music. Each show is an adrenaline-fueled experience where Toyozo often finds himself leaping onto the kick drum, belting out tunes while perched atop the heaving drum. Ozzy isn’t one to stay behind, melding his drumming with astonishing handstands on his kit. And Assman? He embodies the spirit of Japanese rock, leaping through the air and, in one unforgettable moment, skulling a bottle of Asahi handed to him by an audience member—all without missing a beat on his guitar.
Their journey has seen them become the chosen support for international acts touring Japan and taking their electrifying show across the globe, including extensive tours in the USA, UK, Europe, and parts of Asia. Their discography boasts eight albums and a slew of singles and EPs, celebrated by garage rock aficionados worldwide and released under prestigious international labels.
