Refining the Sound: Bow Wow’s ‘The Bow Wow’ (VIH-6049)
Today we delve further into the discography of Japanese hard rock pioneers Bow Wow, focusing on their 1979 studio album, “The Bow Wow,” released on the Invitation label (Victor) with the catalog number VIH-6049.
This 12-inch vinyl LP arrived during a mature phase of the band’s initial 1970s output, following a string of powerful albums and live releases that had established them as leaders in the Japanese hard rock scene. “The Bow Wow” finds the band continuing to deliver their signature brand of high-energy rock, built on a foundation of British hard rock influences but executed with their characteristic Japanese intensity and technical skill.
Listeners can expect the hallmarks of Bow Wow’s sound from this era: driving, riff-centric songs, virtuosic and expressive guitar work taking center stage, powerful vocals, and a tight, dynamic rhythm section. This album likely showcases the band further refining their songwriting and arrangements, perhaps incorporating different textures or nuances while maintaining their core hard rock power.
VIH-6049 represents another strong chapter in the influential early career of Bow Wow. It captures the band operating as a seasoned unit, delivering high-quality, guitar-driven hard rock that solidified their legacy as foundational figures in the development of heavier rock music in Japan.
