Biography

(1974 – present)

(The Norwegian band “MODS” have also been labeled as The Mods, which causes confusion.)

The Mods 「ザ・モッズ」are a Japanese punk rock band, formed in 1974. The band consists of 森山達也(Tatsuya Moriyama - Vocals and Guitar), 苣木寛之(Hiroyuki Chisaki - Guitar and Vocals), and 北里晃一(Koichi Kitazato - Bass).(ex member 梶浦雅裕(Masahiro Kajiura - Drums))

They have been making music together for over 25 years and retain an enthusiastic cult following in their home country, especially as a live band. They quite often sing in English, and their sound and attitude could be compared to The Clash and other London punk bands of the late 1970s.

    Whoa, looks like the Pakistani Mods are by far the most popular one now on the top tracks- we should definitely fix up the wiki page.

    OK, I've corrected my tags. I changed the Artist for "You've Got Another Think Coming" from The Mods to The Mods, does that help?
