One of the most enduring hard rock groups to emerge from the Japanese "band boom" of the mid-'80s and early '90s, Blankey Jet City crafted a tight and tough glam-inflected sound. Anchored by the distinctive vocals and songwriting of guitarist Kenichi "Benzie" Asai, the trio wrote their own material and emphasized yearly tours. Throughout, Asai -- taking cues from Marc Bolan, Iggy Pop, and Johnny Thunders -- toed the line between punky chattiness and balladry. His jerky stop-time guitar rhythms, emotional directness, and lyrics peppered with references to a fictional postmodern metropolis, dubbed "Blankey Jet City," provided the group with a recognizable style while it leaving room to evolve. ~ Jeremy A.
