About the Band

THEE 50’s HIGH TEENS

Attired in mod fashion à la Twiggy and sporting perfectly coiffed 60’s hairstyles, this girl group’s appearance hides the screaming garage rock banshee they become when they step out on stage! Being from Fukuoka in southern Japan doesn’t stop them from frequently flying to Tokyo to play Back from the Grave events and other garage, Group Sounds and rock ’n’ roll parties.

Members:

Tomo - Vocal & Bass
Nami - Guitar & Screaming

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

THEE 50's HIGH TEENS bring all the scream-layered, organ-powered, garage punk mania to the West with them on their first North American release. These wailing furies from Fukuoka are known for crafting originals and rendering covers with Group Sounds influence, and a 60's punk and girl group demeanor. Covers like TERRY & THE BUNNYS' GS classic "Aeba Suki Suki" and RnB standard "Shout" stand out for their ingenuity, but the group's signature pounding organ and fuzz guitar are propelled throughout the album by Tomo's raspy vocals. THEE 50's HIGH TEENS have been one of Japan's wildest garage bands for a while and we should count ourselves lucky to have Punch De Beat released in the the West.
