		POLYSICS simply wanted to create new music with inflectional electronic sound that sticks and repeats itself in ones head along with distorted guitar noise.
		Since the late 1990s POLYSICS have lead the way for pop punk hipsters in their native Japan while building a following in other countries.
		POLYSICS received a great deal of support from the label and released NEU that same year embarking on an extensive tour.

		It wasn't just their peculiar looks (the band members all wore identical jump suites and dark fl glasses and P marked badges on stage) that gave out a strong impact, but it was more about their ultra energetic performance that turned the place upside down, just as DEVO did so many years ago.
		Formerly four-membered Japanese group Polysics have taken that Devo-esque appeal and fuel injected it with a high-octane gasoline.
		Polysics takes nerd chic, hard-rock electronica, and nuclear atom-splitting energy in hyperdrive and throws it into a cyclone of fun.

		Polysics, the nitrous oxide-injected rock-pop group from Japan, are capable of blowing your speakers to fl confetti with their energetic songs.
		Following a handful of amazing albums, Polysics have just released a compilation album, Polysics or Die which is a great introduction to their synth and guitar car crash sound.
		Polysics combine all those elements, because we can't be lumped into one genre.

	The Polysics in Chicago: May 26, 2003
		First and foremost is the Polysics' "Black Out Fall Out", in which men bang their trays in a cafeteria line, waiting to be served.
		The Polysics have been compared to bands like Devo and Man Or Astro-Man?, but they are clearly an entity all their own.
		Prior to their last stop on the JFS tour, the Polysics appeared live on KXLU (which I was fortunate enough to enjoy on internet radio).

		A bewildering string of releases in their native Japan have earnt Tokyo’s Polysics a deserved cult reputation, but new album Now Is The Time--not to mention the patronage of the Kaiser Chiefs, who took them out on a tour of the British Isles - marks the group’s first concerted step into the UK rock mainstream.
		Having really enjoyed Polysics last UK release "polysics or die!!" and seeing the band live, I was desperate to hear the new album and it does not disappoint.
		Polysics freely admit they are obsessed with DEVO and Mark Mothersbaugh was even an early candidate to produce the album.

		Polysics has gathered massive amounts of critical acclaim, not only from influential members of the international press but also from many of the US and UK's current crop of New Wave/Punk bands.
		Polysics is also scheduled to hit the US in the spring of 2006.
		While Polysics has been influenced by many musical genres including Rock, Punk, and Techno, it is unquestionably New Wave that has had the most profound impact on shaping their sound.

		I first heard Polysics a couple of years ago when I got their Asian Man 2001 debut: that record blow me away as it was so sick and weird.
		The genre played by this band is not labelled at all, even tough words like "new wave" and "electro synth pop" come to mind.
		I am not the best expert to judge this music, but if there is a band that is ready to blow up in the electro world, this is the Polysics.

		Hayashi, the driver behind the four-piece electro-pop Polysics, cites Devo as a major musical influence.
		Polysics is on its third tour of the United States and, Hayashi says, his main impression is, "It's a lot of food.
		Polysics has newer music than "Polysics or Die!!!!," and Hayashi is mixing it in L.A. The songs were written on the road last year, which was about the only place Hayashi could work on new material.

		Polysics started in 1997, as Hayashi decided to make a band in resepect to another band called DEVO.
		Polysics is a new wave band, with techno hard punk rock and video game synthesizer sounds.
		They all wear matching jump suits like they are from the future, and their music sounds like it is from that time.

	Polysics - Now Is The Time! Review - sputnikmusic
		Polysics are not afraid to just let themselves be themselves.
		Like most Polysics songs, the intro one starts with a synth loop, before the rest of the instruments join in.
		Saying it is a bizarre Polysics song doesn't really cover it, considering the usual insane nature of their music, but this one is considerably wacky.

	Polysics: Now Is The Time! (2006): Reviews
		If you have never come across Polysics before, this album would be quite a good jumping on point.
		Polysics' contorted robotones are so hot they should spew from volcanoes.
		While Polysics have certainly come into the peak of their sound with Now is the Time, the mindless intensity of the album can be a tad overwhelming.

		Mark Mothersbaugh may be more known to the current generation as Wes Anderson's preferred soundtrack composer, but once upon a time he liked to put on a jumpsuit and play a little thing called synth pop.
		Tokyo's Polysics also enjoy synthesizers and one-piece outfits, and toss in a dose of punk energy to boot.
		Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, the POLYSICS are one of the great hopes for the future of music.

	Skate and Annoy: Music Reviews - Polysics: Polysics or Die! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Polysics is Japan’s answer, or rather compulsive obsession with Devo.
		Polysics, on the other hand, seems to have only a superficial obsession with Devo that they solve with costume props and the occasional term lyric with the right word, like “blockhead.” Musically, they sound more like an anime soundtrack or a Japanese TV commercial.
		Polysics are a fun band to watch, but like a lot of Japanese pop culture, they are mostly style over substance.

	NOW Magazine - Music in Toronto, SEPTEMBER 22 - 28, 2005
		More amazing still is the fact that Polysics, the cult synth-punk crew founded by Hiroyuki Hayashi in 1997 that began as a cheeky Devo homage, have blossomed into a phenomenon in Japan and beyond.
		Noya claims it became her "personal mission" to sign Polysics after seeing one of their infamous live shows (during which Hayashi and his bandmates perform a wacky dance they've dubbed the "technosaur") when they were signed to the smaller and also California-based Asian Man Records.
		Similarly, she says, people should think of Polysics not as just a Japanese band but a global one, because they translate all nationalities and cultures to their own peculiar brand of nuttiness.

	Polysics: Now Is the Time - PopMatters Music Review
		That is to say that you can hear where they are coming from but they sound like their source material cranked up to eleven to the power of the first number that comes into your head.
		Polysics are Japanese, which means that it is hard for this Westerner to decipher what the songs on this album are actually about.
		It might be easy, because of their quirky dress sense and quirkier still tunes, to write Polysics off as a novelty act.

	Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog » MUSIC DOWNLOADS: Polysics
		Aside from being 20% noise and 30% j-pop, Polysics are about 30% new wave and 20% punk.
		In case you can’t tell, the band is endlessly obsessed with Devo and other 80’s bands of the sort, and it sure shows, yet the band manage originality.
		As Spastic (or “Spathic”) as Melt Banana but about 20 times catchier, any headaches Polysics may cause are a much better deal than a saturday morning hangover.

	SPIN.com: Polysics, Now Is The Time! (Tofu)
		The Tokyo quartet takes Devo as a stylistic jump-off (the band's red jumpsuits and opaque fl sunglasses are a dead giveaway), downs six espressos, force-feeds the rhythm section steroids, turns the volume up as high as it will go, and leaps, fists flying, out of your system.
		The resulting tone is Polysics' flagship sound: a jagged, crystalline six-string assault.
		There's never been a band quite like Polysics, and there certainly will never be another.

		Polysics came from Tokyo, Japan, to annihilate everything bad festering in your soul, to leave only smiles.
		Polysics are gearing up for another U.S. tour in March; if they would only stomp through with Guitar Wolf, they’d leave every venue in ruins!
		Think that the first and last polysics songs are the same… I Heard a couple Polysics songs a while back-they were doin’ some crazy Devo covers… btw.

	LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Polysics: Neu
		Polysics have slowly kicked me. Never has a thing been so heart-pumping for me! I put Neu on my CD player as one who does not expect, and now can point to my scarcity on the point as cause of my punishment.
		The Polysics are a band from Japan by origin, and use an alignment of guitar, bass, drums and synths in order to considerably draw up the spazz punk techno stone of which it is not ashamed.
		Making Sense is the most pop sound of Neu; it is moving to the irrational maniac of the sound of Polysics.

	Polysics: Punktastic, UCLA International Institute
		The Polysics are Hiyashi, Kayo and Fumi—three musicians with a penchant for punk, but a flair for new-wave, synth/electro reverb.
		A year later Kayo joined up and by the time Fumi completed the outfit in ‘99, the Polysics were well on their way to becoming Japan’s next mega-phenomenon.
		K: Live performances. Also, before Polysics, I had only played the piano so when I first touched the synthesizer I was very excited and tried experimenting various sounds. But I gradually shifted my focus on more simple sounds, putting more importance on effectiveness and the simple beauty of each sound.
