Sads (typeset assads and formerly asSADS) is originally apunk rock,post-punk andglam rock band formed in Japan in 1999. The band made its debut with the single "Tokyo". They released nine singles and five albums before their disbandment in 2003. In 2010, Sads reformed with a morehard rock/heavy metal sound and signed to theAvex label. They have since released two albums and one single.
Sads was formed byKiyoharu, vocalist of the disbandedKuroyume, in May 1999 and at the same time formed his own record label "Full Face". Their first live tour was held in theUnited Kingdom. Kiyoharu has said that the decision to tour internationally from the very beginning was to test Sads' ability to "compete worldwide".
Their first album,Sad Blood Rock'n'Roll, was a continuation of the bare-bones punk and garage rock from the last Kuroyume album,Corkscrew. Sads eventually delved more into glam rock and post-punk territory as their releases progressed.
In early 2010, Kiyoharu announced that Sads and Kuroyume would be resuming activities again, though the other original members of Sads would not be returning; instead, the band now included K-A-Z, the guitarist of the band Detrox, Keisuke Kubota, support bassist for the band 30size, and Go, leader and drummer of the band Suns Owl. They released their first album since reforming,The 7 Deadly Sins, on July 7, 2010.[1][2]
Their official fanclub was originally called "Rubbersole", but was renamed "VIP" after reforming in 2010.[citation needed]
