Band Feature: SCREW

SCREW is a five-person band from Tokyo that began activities in March 2006, performing “secret” lives at various venues throughout the month until their first one-man live on April 23, 2006 at Takadanobaba AREA. The band released their first maxi-single, “Nejireta Shiso,” on May 24, 2006, which went into a second pressing by June 21. With a strong start, they released their first mini-album by July 12 of that year and their first album by March 14, 2007. They have continued to tour and perform regularly ever since, including tour circuits in Europe.

SCREW began activities as a four-member band, a lineup that has changed somewhat over the years. Original members Byo (vo.), Jin (dr.), Yuuto (ba.), and Kazuki (gt.) were joined in June 2007 by current guitarist Manabu. After bassist Yuuto left the band in December 2009 due to creative differences, current bass player Rui joined in 2010.

Since their formation, the band has released twelve singles, nine mini and full albums, three DVDs, and participated in several multi-artist compilation albums and DVDs. The band has a regular web show that airs via the musicJAPANplus and Nico Nico Live websites, as well as a new regular talk corner on Nico Nico. 

Currently under Indie PSC management, SCREW will make their major label debut with Tokuma Japan Communications this year with the release of their upcoming single, “XANADU,” in stores October 17.
