After discovering Hi-Standard, I became interested in finding more of their music. It turns out that one of the founders of the band, Ken Yokoyama, started another band when Hi-Standard stopped working in 2000. The band’s name is BBQ Chickens. And they are great too. At the same time, Yokoyama created Pizza of Death Records, which seems to be doing very well, and currently includes Garlic Boys.

In 2002, they released a video of two of their songs, “Sick Guy/Stupid Magazines” off the album, Indie Rock Strikes Back.
