ARTIST PROFILE - JOE YAMANAKA

In 2011 we lost an amazing singer, actor and relief activist. Sadly not many people out outside of Japan under the age of 60 have any idea who this man is and it's a shame, because he is quite possibly the most influential rock/reggae artist to come out of Japan. I hope after you read this you will see what a truly amazing and genuine person we lost last year.

ARTIST PROFILE - Dragon Ash

 

Those who had never heard of Dragon Ash, probably learned of them last April. Those who knew them and loved their music, received a bad shock. The bassist of the legendary group, Iküzöne, was found dead of acute cardiac arrest in his studio on April 21st. This profile of Dragon Ash and their career should serve well for those who have yet to be introduced to their music.
