September 2006 issue WIG WAM got extremely popular in Norway because the way they rock more than we expect when they see how they look, finally they released their debut album in Japan. They take advantage of an anachronism of their look and proudly play in 80's style rock n' roll and it succeeds in effects and getting people addicted because of each long career of theirs and musicianship. If you have sympathy for the way they play and love catchy HR which reminds us of BON JOVI in 80's, you've been already wig wamed. In August they'll release the previous album "HTBARR" as well, no prejudice, just listen to them. Review by Rie Teranishi Translated by Miho Ohtsuki
