LISTEN KIDS I KNOW THE JUICEBOXXX UNIVERSE RUNS DEEP AND SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL. I’VE BEEN DOING THIS THING SINCE I WAS 15 AND NEVER FIT INTO ANY ONE THING EVER. I DON’T KNOW WHY I’M BRINGING THIS UP RIGHT NOW BUT FUCK IT. I WANNA GIVE YOU LINKS TO ALL THE JUICEBOXXX/THUNDER ZONE TUMBLRS IN ONE PLACE.
-RAGERS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE SLAMMING SICK STYLE AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE FUCKED UP BEVERAGE: THUNDER ZONE ENERGY DRINK. NEVER FORGET THAT I MADE AN ENERGY DRINK. THIS IS FOR US!
I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED TO GO BACK TO JAPAN FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THREE YEARS. BEING ABLE TO TAKE THE THUNDER ZONE AROUND THE WORLD AND RAGE WITH ALL YOU KIDS IS A BLESSING AND SOMETHING I DON’T TAKE LIGHTLY. I PROMISE THAT WHEN I COME TO YOUR TOWN AND THROW DOWN, I’LL BE PUTTING IT ALL ON THE LINE.

WHEN I WAS IN JAPAN I PLAYED A BUNCH OF SHOWS WITH AN AMAZING GUITAR/DRUMS DUO CALLED GAGAKIRISE. IN ADDITION, TEENAGE RIOT RECORDS OUT OF TOKYO RELEASED A LIMITED EDITION JAPANESE ONLY SPLIT CD BETWEEN THE TWO US THAT FEATURES AN UNRELEASED JUICEBOXXX SONG (A NEW EDITION TO THE EXPANDING “THUNDER JAM” ABSTRACT SONG CYCLE SERIES) AND ALL NEW GAGAKIRISE MATERIAL. THE CD IS ALMOST SOLD OUT BUT I GRABBED A FEW BEFORE LEAVING JAPAN AND YOU CAN PICK UP A COPY AT ANY JUICEBOXXX SHOW OR EMAIL ME DIRECTLY. GAGAKIRISE RULES, I SINCERELY PLACE THEM ON THE SAME LEVEL AS JAPANESE MASTERS LIKE MELT BANANA, BOREDOMS AND RUINS. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF NOISE PUNK JAPAN STYLE OR JUST MINDSHATTERING ROCK AND ROLL IN GENERAL, YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS BAND OUT!
MY FIRST EVER TOUR OF JAPAN HAS BEEN RAGING HARD. AMAZING CROWDS PEOPLE AND MUSIC. SO MUCH FUN AND THE DEFINITION OF THE DREAM. SOMETIMES YOU FIND THAT YOU HAVE BEEN RUNNING TOWARDS THE THUNDER FOR A REASON. DARKNESS COMES AND GOES BUT THE MUSIC IS FOREVER. KOREA IS NEXT. MORE PIX AFTER THE JUMP. (more…)
