Forming in 2003 after Chisato, formerly of the all-female punk band THUG MURDER (TKO Records), and Kenta666, from the hardcore band REAL SHIT, started collaborating, the VICKERS quickly carved a name for themselves as one of Japan's fiercest rock n' roll acts. They released their first mini-album Stab Your Back, now out-of-print, which was quickly followed up with three brutal albums. The band caused a stir in Taiwan when they played the island's Formoz Festival, and later when they returned for the Anti-pop series. Recently, tiny terror Annie joined taking on bass duties and THE VICKERS sound louder and more striking than ever!

TRACK LIST:
PACIFICTION REVIEW:Crammed with punk speed, metal stylings and pop hooks, Wake Again will surely grab you by the collar and get you slamming around with your pals. The intro "Doomsday," sets the mood with a heavy metal stomp that breaks down into a rock n' roll riot titled "Stand Up." The fast-paced title track is a punk blitz in the style of the DAMNED. Chisato takes the mic for "Voice" which she sings bright and clear over rock n' roll riffs. "Come On Rudies" is a throwback to days of punks and skins. Punk rock irony and disgust are let loose on "Let's Spend the Night Together" as the lyrics go: "I'm sick of everyone, I'm sick of everywhere, I'm sick of you! Let's spend the night together!" Ending the disc is an ELECTRIC EEL SHOCK-like attempt at melding punk and metal called "Strike Back the Lightning." The VICKERS' third release is a testament to their ability to play lightning-fast rock n' roll songs with catchy changes and just the right amount of metal for good measure. |
