Speed, Glue & Shinki

The Profile

Japanese power trio from the late 1960s/early 1970s Japrock scene, noted for a raw, blues-infused psychedelic/garage rock sound and a provocative name referencing glue and drug culture.

The band appears in Japrock discussions and released the album Eve. Contemporary commentary highlights their rough, freer rock-blues style and lyrical/dramatic emphasis on drugs and excess as cultural imagery.

DeBaser hosts a single mixed review of Speed, Glue & Shinki's Eve that praises curiosity but finds the record only moderately interesting. The band is described as a Japanese power trio tied to the Japrock/beat scene with provocative drug-themed imagery. Musically the review emphasizes a rock-blues sound with a rougher, freer spirit rather than anything epochal.
