ABOUT
Take Back The Beers! is a punk rock band, formed in Koiwa, Tokyo in 2007. Vocalist/drummer Shiro and guitarist Non-non are original founding and longest-serving members of the band, who have appeared on every release of the band. Hisawo joined the band in 2008 to play bass, and Takuma joined the band in 2014 to play lead guitar, rounding out the current line-up.
The band were most influenced by California's punk music and skateboarding culture. We compose the music we want to listen to, design the clothes we want to wear, and drink our favorite beer while wearing and playing them.
