One of the hottest new sounds, THEE OUT MODS are bringing a major ruckus on today’s punk music scene. The new album “Rock-n-Roll Pirates” is 100% pure energy. I started listening to the opening track “Treasure Island” on my iPod and could not help myself from wanting to stand up and dance. The opening guitar riffs were playfully melodic with steadily beating foot on the bass pedal. Suddenly I hear a powerful voice open forth, “Come on!” as it lead me into an exhilarating voyage.
THEE OUT MODS is composed of three hard-edged members. Frontline vocal and guitarist SANA has a rough and powerful voice. She can be strong yet add a flavorful twist by expressing dramatic changes in the vocals. YOSHIKI on bass exhibits versatility and playfulness on the guitar riffs. On drums, KENNY manifests an explosive range of ability as well as strong attitude in his playing.
“Rock-n-Roll Pirates” has many interesting titles. “Umaku Ikanaize” is an awesome song as it exhibits THEE OUT MODS explosive attitude in its music as well as the lyrics. SANA’s voice is deep, energetic as it gives this song a sexy vigor appeal to it. “Iikagenni Shiyagare!!” is lightning fast with the bass line running through an awesome bliss. “GERO”, one of my personal favorite songs is a fun song with very dynamic edges in the percussive end. “Rokudenashi” is one of the more mellow songs, but through the versatility of the band, it still packs a punch. The album closes with one of my favorite songs so far, the very creative and exciting “It’s you’re life”.
With so many fun songs, THEE OUT MODS puts together an awesome compilation that would be enjoyable by many audiences. Judging by these wonderful songs, I am pretty sure they will definitely rock during their live performances. They have an awesome style that is sexy and rough, which goes along with their music. If you are into the rock or punk scene, definitely check out “Rock-n-Roll Pirates”!

August 13, 2008 - THEE OUT MODS take sail today on JapanFiles.com with their debut CD “Rock-n-Roll Pirates.” After years of non-stop live shows in the Southern California area, THEE OUT MODS and their independent label 7 Samurai Records are returning to continue their musical journey in Japan this month. They spent months in the studio refining the sound of this collection of 11 songs to match the ferocious live shows that inspired their local fans.
THEE OUT MODS was formed in the summer of 2006 by three Japanese rockers SANA (Vocals), YOSHIKI (Bass), KENNY (Drums), and produced by Ace (lead singer of Tokyo Smog) from 7 Samurai Records.
SANA’s straight and ironic expression of the youth generation is powerfully combined with the band’s raw rock n’ roll sound. Their sharp, stylish, high energy performances have earned them a committed fan following in Los Angeles, even though most of their songs are performed in Japanese. In April 2007, they toured to support LiN CLOVER, highlighted by a knock-out performance at the famous Slim’s live house in San Francisco.
In 2008, they were voted “Best Japanese Punk Band” by readers of Shojo Beat magazine.

If there is one group that we have a lot of live photos taken by both our photographers Angelo Delos Reyes from performances in the Bay Area and Nergene Arquelada for performances in Los Angeles, it’s of the group Thee Out Mods.
The group announced on their MySpace page that they are returning back home to Japan after residing in Los Angeles for several years.
The group definitely picked up some steam performing throughout California and generated a good-sized fan base.
We wish the band the best and definitely look forward to their performances in the US.
