the official PIZZA OF DEATH Sound Cloud
 Pizza Of Death Records is an independent record company established in 1999 by a guitarist Ken Yokoyama who used to be a member of Hi Standard.
Our first release was Hi-Standard's 3rd full length album "Making The Road".
This was also released outside of Japan through Fat Wreck Chords and has gone on to sell over one million copies in Japan alone.

In mid 2000 Hi-Standard went on hiatus which provided Ken with opportunity to focus more intensely on running Pizza Of Death and to release other Japanese punk rock bands with various and unique styles.
To date, Pizza Of Death has grown from it's humble beginnings to remain as the undisputed No.1 independent label in Japan.

In 2002 Ken produced the debut Pizza Of Death release from Hawaiian6 (featuring the drummer of Ken's other band BBQ Chickens).
Their clever and dark melodic sound was accepted with huge surprise and Hawaiian6 has now sold over 150, 000 copies to date in Japan alone.

2004 saw Ken release his long awaited and hugely succesful first solo album "The Cost Of My Freedom" and shortly after the inevitable formation of the touring powerhouse affectionately known as KEN BAND.

We have not limited ourselves to just releasing only Japanese bands but have also released various non-Japanese acts such as the exclusive Japanese release "Turning Japanese" from Me First And The Gimme Gimmes.
Other non-Japanese bands which have graced the Pizza Of Death imprint include Snuff (Yes ! Snuff !), Good Riddance, Venerea and Satanic Surfers.

We have also gone on to gain surprising popularity and acceptance in the global community without international distribution, though our merch and unique logo has been spotted in the most surprising of places including a cameo in the 2003 Hollywood movie "Lost In Translation".

As mentioned, we currently do not have distribution outside of Japan for our Japanese band's releases so the only way to get these, at the moment, is through the online punkrock store INTERPUNK.
We really hope to see you guys at every tiny CD shop in every country very soon.

“Understanding the order of time is important to anyone hoping to manifest a dream,” says Valerie June. “There is a time to push, and a time to gently tend the garden.”

Since the release of her 2013 breakout Pushin’ Against A Stone, June has been patiently at work in the garden of song, nurturing seedlings with love and care into the lush bloom that is her stunning new album, The Order Of Time. Some songs grew from seeds planted more than a decade ago, others blossomed overnight when she least expected them to, but every track bears the influence of time. See, time has been on June’s mind a lot lately. It’s the only constant in life, even though it’s constantly changing. It’s the healer of all wounds, the killer of all men. It’s at once infinite and finite, ever flowing with twists and turns and brutal, churning rapids that give way to serene stretches of placid tranquility. Fight against the current and it will knock you flat on your ass. Learn to read it, to speak its language, and it will carry you exactly where you’re meant to be.

OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.

Fat Wreck Chords is an indie label co-founded in San Francisco by NOFX frontman Fat Mike (Michael Burkett) and Erin Kelly-Burkett, in 1990. The first wave of bands signed to FAT (No Use For A Name, NOFX, Propagandhi, Lagwagon, and more) shaped what became known as the Fat Wreck sound. FAT continues to be an artist-friendly label and has a unique business model of signing bands to one record deals. Going on its third decade, FAT boastfully remains a 100% independently owned and operated company.

In the early 2011, Adi Saptadi, Erick Sebastian, Armand Azhar and Aldy Abuthan form a pop rock band. There’s nothing much to tell here, because “Easy Tiger” was started as a side project or fun project, based on the same vision and goal. For the four of us, the world of music is not a new thing, and the band was not formed because of the music, also because of our friendship. And based on this friendship, we expect there are no significant obstacles in achieving our goal.

Easy Tiger is quoted from a song title that you might have heard before. We illustrate the word "Easy" as a thing / something that is easily accepted and easily digested by anyone, while "Tiger" as something which is strong, fierce and independent. We hope that we can put these words into our finished songs and the on going ones. A “fierce” work with a strong image and character, yet easy to accept by everyone.
