The music of Eddie Japan has always existed in the spaces in between. It’s the elegant noise and cinematic melody that thrives in the slashes that bind genres together, allowing the celebrated Boston cinematic-pop septet to elicit a spectrum of genres – new wave, pop-rock, glam, indie, alternative, plus that new retro-pop sound that has yet to have a name – over the course of one tightly-knit pop song.
Eddie Japan has been a magnetic force since its inception, buoyed by a soaring, dramatic sound that sounds nothing like anything else in the city it calls home. To some, Eddie Japan has commanded the stage – winning the 2013 Rock And Roll Rumble; resurrecting the music of The Cars with the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band’s keyboardist and synth pioneer Greg Hawkes; and amassing a cult following around New England. To others, Eddie Japan has commanded the screen – 2019 single “Summer Hair” was included on Harmonix’s digital music festival game Fuser; and breakout 2015 single “Albert” was featured in Rock Band 4, launching countless musicians and guitar hopefuls around the world while the track generated over a million plays, and counting, on Spotify.
But what Eddie Japan does best, perhaps, is command attention, from the Boston Music Awards to New England Music Awards, The Boston Globe to WGBH, to headlining shows and tours with The Motels, The Fixx and Ultravox’s Midge Ure. Spring 2023 album Pop Fiction proves the Eddie Japan story is still unfolding.
