Rough Age

Oi! band from Kobe, Japan. Pre-R.I.P. (13) (Resolute Immortal Partizan). Formed around 1988, changed their name to R.I.P. sometime during the early or possibly mid 1990s. It's not very widely known that R.I.P. was originally active under a different name of Rough Age in their early years. The only ever known official release from Rough Age is the "Samurai Anthems" demo tape (1992). Although exactly the same title was given to the first 7" record by R.I.P. in 1997, these two are different releases.
