OXZ

Osaka, Japan

Releasing their first EP in 1984, OXZ (pronounced OX-ZED) made moody, dark post-punk ahead of its time. The bass and drums dominate; the guitars are angular and spiky – punk, but with something extra. Along Ago: 1981-1989 collects the band’s entire catalog – three EPs and a single – alongside unearthed, unreleased demos.
