SCREW was a visual kei band that was formed in 2006 and has been gaining a lot of popularity on the scene.

Biography

In March 2006, SCREW was formed by vocalist Byou and bassist You, who were both previously in JOKER. They were soon joined by kazuki of Clover, and Jin of LiViNg DEAD. Their first one-man concert was on April 23, held at Takadanobaba AREA. Their first mini-album, Nanairo no Reienka, was released short after in July and it was limited to 2000 copies. Many concerts were held and three maxi-singles were released in that year, and to finish off 2006, they were invited to be a part of Winter Romantic Fes.3days「X-day」 event organized by Kanoma (ex-Fatima) and KAMIJO (Versailles).
2007 began with more concerts and in March they released a full length album which they called Fusion of the core. Shortly after its release, the band kicked off their one-man tour, LIMITED FUSION. By May, change came to SCREW as the band left Speed Disk Records and signed onto indie PSC and their support guitarist, Manabu transitioned to an official member of the band. SCREW continued their hefty touring schedule through the summer, with several dates monthly. The fall was greeted with the release of two mini-albums, VENOM and VIRUS, which were released a month apart. In December, the band wrapped up the end of the year with their first overseas event in Germany.
2008 brought a steady stream of activity for SCREW who began to tour again during the second week of January and released a new maxi-single the following month. In April, the band celebrated their two year anniversary, holding a one-man at the venue of their birth, Takandanobaba AREA. The rest of the year remained just as busy with two more singles hitting store shelves and a steady live schedule.
SCREW welcomed the new year with their winter 2009 tour, Double Suicide in Five Cities which began in January. After wrapping up this event they resumed touring in Feburary, and by April, saw the release of their mini album, RACIAL MIXTURE. On April 26, the band celebrated their third anniversary at Liquid Room Ebisu.
