Bloodthirsty Butchers released their first recordings through compilation albums. On a compilation album called TVVA, their songs featured alongside another struggling Japanese punk band Guitar Wolf.
In the spirit of the Ramones, Guitar Wolf is made up of the actually not related Wolf brothers: Guitar Wolf (real name Seiji), Bass Wolf (real name Billy), and Drum Wolf (real name Narita then replaced by Toru). They formed in Harajuku in 1987 and played a style they dubbed Jet Rock 'n Roll. The style drew upon punk and traditional rock and made heavy use of distortion, feedback, and screaming. The name pays homage to Joan Jett. They released their debut album Wolf Rock! in 1993 which was supposedly recorded in Seiji's basement.
Here is the discography surrounding Guitar Wolf's debut album:
