Influenced by the sounds of forward-thinking new wavers Devo, Polysics founding member Hiroyuki Hayashi, a.k.a. Hiro, knew he had to form his own band after listening to the avant sounds of the Akron, Ohio band. “I was shocked by it,” Hiro says of his first experience with Devo. “I thought it was so much more punk than just acting like a gang by greasing one’s hair. I was so impressed, and I thought, ‘I want to do new wave punk dressed in a jumpsuit like Devo!’”
Formed ten years ago, Polysics (made up of Hiro, vocals, guitar, programming; Kayo, synthesizer, vocals; Fumi, bass; Yano, drums) has released half a dozen full-length releases over the years. The band is now signed to MySpace Records, who released the definitive Polysics compilation POLYSICS OR DIE!!!! VISTA in October 2007 which went on to become their best-selling release.
MySpace Records will release the new wave styling of Japan’s Polysics on September 30 with the release of new album 'We ate the machine'.
