The Willard

Japanese punk band formed in 1982. The original incarnation of the band included Jun Obiga on vocals, Klan (5) on guitar, Casino (31) on bass, and Kyoya Sugiki on drums. The Willard was inactive from the late 1983 until sometime in 1984 while Jun played in The Stalin and Kyoya played in The Execute. Their first full-length album "1447375" was released on then newly-launched Captain Records (2) in 1985, which quickly sold over 10,000 copies upon release in Japan. The band signed to a major label in 1986. Their music style shifted towards more psychedelic rock during the mid '90s.
