About the Band

STOMPIN' RIFF RAFFS

These rockin' riffraffs consist of the youthful crooner Nao-kun and his band of masked, glittering, shimmy shimmy banditas. The group first formed several years ago to compliment the revived Back from the Grave garage punk scene, and consequently supported both THE MUMMIES and THE A-BONES in Tokyo. In 2008, they cut their first demo entitled Parabellum with the title track later pressed as a 7" single on Miz. Liz records. 2010 saw STOMPIN' RIFF RAFFS headed to the Rebel Night Weekender in NYC to play alongside a roster of legendary and international garage and rockabilly artists.

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

In the early sixties leather jacket rock 'n' roll was experiencing a hangover, a new species of primitives had yet to break their garage punk sounds to wider audiences... and yet there were still a number of guys clinging onto their trade and pushing rockabilly, albeit with a bit of 60's bomp. The STOMPIN' RIFF RAFFS, or simply "Stompin" as they are known in their native Japan, are an explosive homage to this frat party sound and their first outing Horror Show is case in point! It's a ripping mix of originals coupled with covers of early sixties rockers by the likes of THE JAGUARS, THE MONTEREYS, THE INSTRUMENTALS, THE STRINGBUSTERS and the legendary RON HAYDOCK. Not that these vintage comp gems outshine the band's own material which is expertly crafted by wildman Nao and finely executed by his masked entourage of chicks!
