The Vickers

There are more than one band named The Vickers. Japan - Forming in 2003 after Chisato, formerly of the all-female punk band THUG MURDER (TKO Records), and Kenta666, from the hardcore band REAL SHIT, started collaborating, THE VICKERS quickly carved a name for themselves as one of Japan's fiercest rock n' roll acts. They released their first mini-album Stab Your Back, now out-of-print, which was quickly followed up with three brutal albums as well as Chisato's final recording with the group Don't Slow Me Down.

Recently, tiny terror Annie joined taking on bass duties and THE VICKERS sound louder and more striking than ever!
