Polysics new effort out today and on tour with Jaguar Love

MySpace Records will release the new wave styling of Japan’s Polysics on September 30 with the release of We ate the machine.

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 U.S. release.

August 26 saw the release of a vinyl double gatefold album; one side containing Karate House (an older album never released in the US) and the other side with We ate the machine.

MySpace Records will release We ate the machine on September 30. The record will also be available at all digital outlets as two separate albums except at iTunes where the two releases will be bundled together at one low price for two weeks, then available as separate discs afterwards.

Having most recently toured America in support of Hellogoodbye and Say Anything on the first-ever MySpace Music Tour, the band hopes to draw out new and old fans alike on their upcoming North America kicking off October 18 in Los Angeles at the famed Roxy.
