THE PREDATORS

THE PREDATORS is a supergroup that was originally formed in 2005 by the pillows frontman Sawao Yamanaka, GLAY bassist JIRO, and STRAIGHTENER drummer Shinpei Nakayama. Though Nakayama departed the group in 2010, they quickly recruited another familiar face from the Japanese rock scene: ELLEGARDEN and Scars Borough drummer, Hirotaka Takahashi.

The band play a simple, straightforward brand of rock, but the members’ unique personalities and Yamanaka’s easily-recognizable vocals give their songs a distinctive flair. While the members are all busy with other projects, they still find time to perform and record new music together every few years.
