Polysics are a Japanese New Wave / Synthpop / J-Rock band from Tokyo, who personally dub their unique style as "technicolor pogo punk". The band started in 1997, but got their big break in 1998 at a concert in Tokyo. They create high energy music, fusing conventional guitar music, with synthesized and computer generated sound to create a unique mixture of punk and pop, heavily inspired by the American bands Devo and The Tubes, and Japanese band Yellow Magic Orchestra.
