Guernica (Japanese: ゲルニカ, stylized GUERNICA) was a Japanese band formed in 1981. The trio consisted of vocalist Togawa Jun, composer and violinist Koji Ueno, and lyricist and art director Keiichi Ohta. They are presumably named after the famous painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso. The band performed avant-garde pastiche of inter-war European music, sometimes substituting synthesizers for an orchestra. They borrowed futurist, communist, and fascist aesthetics to recall the European and Asian inter-war and wartime period.
