Gauze, the prominent Japanese hardcore punk band, are separating after 41 years. They revealed the news today (November 26) on the band’s main Twitter. “Report of dissolution of GAUZE,” checks out an equated variation of their declaration. “Ever considering that I ended up being an existing member, I have actually chosen that if even someone leaves the group, it will be dissolved. Postscript: The last T-shirt sale will be held at Koenji Record Shop Base.” That declaration mentions among the uncommon interviews Gauze did throughout their profession. In 1997, bassist Shin informed Maximum Rocknroll, “To be sincere, if among the members gave up, it will not be Gauze any longer. We never ever alter the members. It’s not due to the fact that how excellent they play, however how they believe or feel about these things.” Gauze formed in 1981 in Tokyo, Japan. Vocalist Fugu, guitar player Momorin, and Shin stayed in the band over its 41- year-long profession, with drummer Hiko signing up with the initial members in1989 They developed themselves as a hardcore punk band that experimented with D-beat and whip conventions. Notoriously, they wished to catch the sensation of grindcore without optimizing their pace. “There is a limitation to how quickly you can play. We wished to challenge the limitation,” Shin informed MRR. “To us, the sensation of the speed is the most fundamental part.” The earliest Gauze recordings appear on the 1982 collection City Rocker along with new age and goth bands. It wasn’t up until 1984 that they launched their launching album, Fuck Heads. Gauze discovered higher popularity in 1986 with their now-classic sophomore LP, Equalizing Distort. The band later on went on to launch the full-length albums 限界は何処だ (Genkai wa dokoda) in 1991, 面を洗って出直して来い (Kao O Aratte Denaoshite Koi) in 1997, and Binbou Yusuri No Rizumu Ni Notte in 2007, in addition to a self-titled EP in1997 In 2015, Gauze launched their 6th and last album, 言いたかねえけど目糞鼻糞, on XXX Records. Whereas English hardcore punk bands were “encouraged by politics,” Gauze thought Japan was too tranquil to grumble about, and rather wished to concentrate on individual effect. “The lyrics motivate [listeners] to do their finest and have guts. It’s about what occurs around us and what we feel every day,” Fugu stated in a MRR interview. Shin included, “Punk suggests in English, disobedience, however to us punk suggests self-responsibility. We ought to have duty at all times for our own actions. You require to be accountable, whatever you do. It’s not that working is great and not working is bad.”
