The band dropped the "POLY-X" names, and reduced to a trio, with new member Fumi on Bass Support on some of the tracks from Neu. Just after the release of 1st P their bassist, known only as "POLY-2", left. The albums 1st P and A.D.S.R.M! were released on the independent label DECKREC Records. Since 1999 Polysics have released several albums. The band has been noted for their extremely energetic live performances and their wild gimmicky outfits. Their song lyrics often consist of Japanese, broken English, or just plain gibberish ("Space Language"). They create high energy music, fusing conventional guitar music, with synthesized and computer generated sound to create a unique mixture of punk and pop, heavily inspired by the American band Devo. The band started in 1997, but got their big break in 1998 at a concert in Tokyo. Polysics are a Japanese New Wave / Synthpop / J-Rock band from Tokyo.
