SS (japanese punk band)

The Kyoto-based band SS is rightly considered an early hardcore punk act, as they were the first in Japan to play with such audacity. They are even held in higher regard than bands like Bad Brains and Black Flag.

Their songs were very short due to their aggressive and fast tempo. If I’m not mistaken, they were all self-taught and could barely play. However, the punk movement in Tokyo and the success of the bands coming out of it became a clear challenge that they wanted to respond to. This rivalry mainly revolved around the band Friction: the members of SS were shocked by their performance when the Tokyo Rockers came to Kyoto.

But, unlike the Tokyo Rockers movement, the members of SS didn’t have much experience. During their year of activity, they left no official recordings behind and didn’t strive for commercial success.

Friction was one of the first to achieve perfection and a high level of originality. SS, on the other hand, didn’t strive for perfection, which gave rise to hardcore punk.

back of The Clay's "Middle East Combat Area" album.

it contains text against the genocide in Palestine. in general, many japanese hardcore punk bands were against wars, for example, Gai, GISM, The Execute, and others. i even remember that Sakevi Yokoyama sent weapon designs to the Palestine Liberation Organization.
