The kids are alright. It’s 2007, do you know where your heroes are? Every year there’s a new name on the same face, and they’re all alright…and maybe it’s enough to talk tough and tell us what we already know, but you gotta feel cheated with alright, you gotta ask for more. From the ashes of your last romance, to the beating heart of the next, and every kiss in between: they’ve got your soundtrack. For years these guys have quietly been writing your favorite songs from a little corner in Peoria, Illinois. But it’s about to get loud, and you’re about to know something totally new… beyond the standard fads, a fresh face in the crowd, willing to take risks and get right with your eardrums. Their debut release has enough teeth, soul, spark, and swagger to remind you of a time when your heroes were giants. Just put it on and check out what Kuwahara can do. From the rocket-fueled pop of "Monterey" to the heavy psychedelia of "Blacklight Fashion," they recall the energy of early Kinks, the pop sensibilities of Big Star, and the primal genius of The Velvet Underground. By the time you make it to "The Pill Song" you know it’s no accident, and it’s clear they’re channeling more than the classics. There’s a new wave snarl reminiscent of The Sex Pistols, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Pixies. Plain and simple: Kuwahara rocks. With their debut release, "Roam Arrow," Kuwahara shows they're ready and hungry to take it to the next level. So take a chance on a fresh face, dust off those chelsea boots, and let Kuwahara rock you senseless. Who knows?...you might have just found your new heroes. -Jeff Hyde
