KAWAGUCHI MASAMI'S NEW ROCK SYNDICATE founded in 2006.The band released their self-titled debut album on Purifiva (Japan).The band toured America with LSD March in October,2006.

New Rock Syndicate won't be known -- yet -- by most, since it's a brand-new unit. Leader and guitar monster Kawaguchi Masami, though, should be recognized from his work with Miminokoto, the aforementioned LSD March, and Broomdusters, among others. Not to mention his solo work. Having brought Miminokoto to an end, New Rock Syndicate rises, with bassist Akira Kikuchi and drummer Nao Shibata (Hijokaidan, Doodles) filling out the trio. A new self-titled CDR, from Kawaguchi's Purifiva label, contains the first five songs from the band, and they're monsters. The project's name doesn't lie: while there are slower, shadowy dreams, much of the disc is heavy riffage in a Blue Cheer-meets-Rallizes-cum-Nuggets-style fuzz zone. Nice work.
