Why this name?
Nick and I were watching a movie one night and saw Tom Green yell out Japan4 at a security guard..the movie "Freddy Got Fingered" was kind of dumb but that part had us laughing so we stuck with it...
Do you play live?
not yet...look how far apart we are!!!
Nick and I are workin' on doin' a show at a local college and a few other clubs in the area..We recently hooked up with a dj who's willing to spin for us so we should be doin' a lot of live shows soon...

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows ppl from all over the world to hear other people's music...personally i like not having to pay to check out what others are doing..
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
most likely...it's not a major label but we're signed with Phobia Records at the moment...
Band History:
Nick and I have been writing poetry together for a long time, and back in 03' he found the site lyricwars.com..we started text battling there and soon realized how easy it would be to record..so we bought we got a cheap mic and mixer from radioshack and started recording...we started to take it more seriously as time went on and it keeps progressing as the days go by..
We met click and krem on lyricwars and they had personalities similar to ours and sick lyrical ability so we grouped up with them...click flew over this year and spent 2 weeks with us, eventually he plans on moving somewhere near here so we can work on stuff easier...

Your influences?
I listen to a lot of different genres of music so i'm not going to get into it fully...I listen to a good mix of rap, classic rock, and modern rock..I also play bass guitar so i have a good sense of rythm n'whatnot...
Equipment used:
right now we're working with a mackie vlz 1202 pro mixer and an mxl 990 mic...we record through the computer with adobe audtion 1.5 with native waves gold plug in, and occasionally use t-racks to sharpen up tracks...
Anything else...?
we've got a few albums coming out this summer...nick's first solo lp, the J4P mixtape, and we're putting some tracks down for the first Phobia Records mixtape named "Save The Music Vol 1"...all albums will be available for sale at phobiarecords.com as soon as they are released...
