Eddie Japan
eddiejapan.com
The music of Eddie Japan has always existed in the spaces in between. It’s the elegant noise and cinematic melody that thrives in the slashes that bind genres together, allowing the celebrated Boston cinematic-pop septet to elicit a spectrum of genres – new wave, pop-rock, glam, indie, alternative, plus that new retro-pop sound that has yet to have a name – over the course of one tightly-knit pop song. Eddie Japan has been called 'Boston's best live band' by The Boston Herald, and their stage show is always a dramatic and stylish affair. With powerhouse co-lead vocals and the impeccable musicianship of the band, Eddie Japan delivers dynamic and energetic performances that captivate audiences from start to finish.

Infectious, well-crafted songs... lush harmonies and bright guitar sound ...Bezo proves that she is capable of creating the kind of hooks that pull you in on the first listen." - Sheryl Hunter Greenfield Recorder
"The Fawns cover of “Burned” is a beautifully jangly rendition that plays up the sparkle and energy of the classic. It jumps out of the gates with an explosion of euphoric harmony and upbeat drumming. What strikes me most about the recording is the often sought after, but rarely achieved quality of live music that teems from it’s edges." - Sam Buck Milk Crater
"Their new record is a brilliant way to start the year" - Third Outing
"Twangy rocker that's got us feeling all nostalgic" - Allston Pudding
"tight, tuneful songs destined to become overlooked classics... a clinic in upbeat pop songwriting..." - Eric Danton - Listen Dammit
