About the three bands
Age Factory is a three-piece band from Nara, while w.o.d. hails from Osaka; both are active groups in Japan's recent rock/garage scene. Straightener, formed in 1998, is one of the longer-running bands in Japanese rock.
"Mutsu" is the old name for the Tohoku region where Sendai is located, and ARABAKI ROCK FEST. has long been based in Miyagi Prefecture. This project connects the two cities of Kawasaki and Sendai, with the subtitle "TRIAD" reflecting the three-band lineup.
