Phoenix Ash
Phoenix Ash is America's own Japanese Rock band. As the sole Americans on the influential Plug Records label in Japan (Daizy Stripper, Fest Vainqueur) Phoenix Ash is breaking musical and cultural barriers, fusing the essences of Japanese and American rock with their unique brand of infectious melodies and heart pumping anthems.
Phoenix Ash's debut Japanese album?Cross the Blue?is available from all major retailers across Japan. This 2-disc set contains a mix of the band’s original J-Rock anthems as well as Japanese rock covers from Anime and TV.
Having established itself as a mainstay of video game and Japanese animation conventions across the west coast, Phoenix Ash prepared for their next big leap; into Asia. Signing with legendary producer Yoshinobu Toida (X Japan, GLAY, DaizyStripper) and Plug Records, the band launched its debut Japanese album and performed two Japanese tours, including a guest appearance by guitarist Cameron with pop icon Arashi Moritomo (????.)
Phoenix Ash is now gearing up to release their next full length studio album, with plans to tour again later this year. Whether it be in the USA or in Japan, Phoenix Ash is leaving a wake in the world of high energy hard rock that can’t be ignored.
akai SKY
Ten years ago, a bunch of kids who formed a band to play covers of their favorite Japanese Rock and anime theme songs. They quickly discovered that playing covers just wasn’t enough and strived to create something entirely new. Influenced by a wide breadth of musical styles and genres, akai SKY is a four member American J-Rock band that combines Japanese and English lyrics to create unique music that bridges the gap between American and Japanese music while representing the Rock music we fell in love with so many years ago.
After celebrating their 10th anniversary, akai SKY is advancing American J-Rock music by continuing to merge influences from both countries and molding it into a new and exciting Rock-fueled music genre.
