Legendary rock ‘n’ roll band Guitar Wolf will return to Europe with a brand-new album, titled More Jet, and another extensive tour. This will be Guitar Wolf’s first album in seven years. The European tour will kick off in France on 14 May and will run until the start of summer on the 20th of June, in the Netherlands. More Jet verschijnt op 12 juni op vinyl via Goner Records.

From the band’s inception in 1987, the guitar-bass-drums trio has had a simple motto: play faster and harder. And that can be heard in all their explosive, loud, and saturated songs of pure rock ’n’ roll with influences ranging from surf to garage punk, and even rockabilly. Guitar Wolf’s main recipe is as follows: songs rarely tap the three-minute mark (or longer) and contain an infectious energy. In 2023, Guitar Wolf released a live album of Toru’s (Drum Wolf, a member of the band since 1991) last performance in March 2022, titled BLACK LEATHER BOMB LIVE at WWWX. Currently, the band consists of guitarist and vocalist Seiji, bassist Gotz and drummer Takuro.

A group photo of the band Iscream Never Ground posing in front of a colourful backdrop, created by graffiti. All members are dressed in the same way, same dark shirt with paint splatter motive, but they are wearing a different colour pants and shoes. Those pants and shoes are in the same colour for each member, perhaps used as a member colour. The members stand in a row and strike a pose as if they are making an exaggerated walking motion: one leg is raised and the other is on the ground, one arm is balled into a fist and held close to their face, whilst the other arm, also with a clenched fist, is positioned behind them, with their elbows bent. © アイスクリームネバーグラウンド - Iscream Never Ground
