About the Band

MAD3

MAD3 blasted onto the Japanese garage punk scene in the mid 90's amidst the Back from the Grave weirdo party scene that spawned the TEENGENERATE, 5678's (MAD3 guitarist EDDIE LEGEND did a stint with those cool kittens) and GUITARWOLF. They have a plethora of amazing instro surf punk albums that tap the psyche of guitar legends from Dick Dale to Steve Ray Vaughan and a plethora of 7" singles covering everything great about the genre from noir themes to sci-fi rockers!

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

On the final album by MAD3, legendary Tokyo surf-garage guitarist EDDIE LEGEND warps the genre through driving punk, shredding blues rock riffs a la Stevie Ray Vaughan and more abstract Spanish guitar techniques. The familiar noir themes are still present, but put through a vice grip of grinding guitars. This album is the most adult effort put forth by the MAD3 and has enough of the early sounds as well as experimental guitar rock fusions to reach both old fans and new audiences. At its heart, Lost Tokyo is still a driving motorcycle album, something EDDIE has always put into anything he has ever done.
