Thank you very much for visiting the European headquarter of BALZAC, Japan's premiere DEVIL ROCK band! G-FORCE RECORDS is very proud to present BALZAC for the first time in Europe. In case you're not familiar with BALZAC, you might ask yourself:

BALZAC? Who the f**k are they???

BALZAC formed in 1992 in Osaka . Due to their similarity to the legendary American punk band, the Misfits, with their unique pop sound and their horror movie image concept they gathered attention not only in Japan but also overseas. The Misfits are full supporters of BALZAC and recently gave them their "blessing" when they recorded BALZAC's great song "Day The Earth Caught Fire", which appeared on the MISFITS/BALZAC split CD.

Hirosuke & Jerry Only

The current line-up consist of:

Hirosuke - vocals
Atsushi - guitar
Akio - bass
Takiyuki - drums

BALZAC are highly popular in Japan and have a huge following of loyal fans, most of them members of BALZAC's very own fan club, the FIENDISH CLUB.

Members of the FIENDISH CLUB receive a quarterly full colour club magazine and they get also offered exclusive merchandise and limited versions of BALZAC's records.

Until 2003 they have released 5 albums, 2 DVDs, several singles and videos, but the madness doesn't stop there: BALZAC have released TONS of cool merchandise - so far they have offered over 120 different T-Shirt designs (!!!) and loads of other stuff like skull gloves, bags, clocks, buttons, backpacks, bandanas, sticker, trading cards, posters, patches, wristbands, keychains... you name it.

And if that's not enough, there's of couse a couple different BALZAC figures.
The band works closely with Japanese toy company, MEDICOM toys, who have released a 12" BALZAC action figure and also the legendary BALZAC KUBRICK™ figures. Of course the KUBRICKS were sold with a limited exclusive 7" single.

The BALZAC wind up toy (came with "Beware Of Darkness" CD, limited)

BALZAC means not only great pop-punk but they are also a dream band for collectors, haha!

G-FORCE RECORDS will release a full length album (CD and Picture LP) and a limited 7" single in August 2003. We hope to be able to sell exclusive BALZAC records and merchandise in the future through this page, so please stay tuned.
