We discovered soha via Space Shower Music’s YouTube channel and fell in love with the melodic track “after the rain” which is on their first ever release titled “the structure of moment” due to be out on July 20. This band was founded in Tokyo in 2015, and were formerly known as “44°+” and seeks to produce an emotional sound, featuring solid duet of guitars and impulsive drumming and tight baseline. This four piece is formed of members Masafumi Eno on drums, Aiichiro Tanaka on guitar, Hikaru Okumura on bass and Masayuki Jintani on guitar. We recommend you check them out.

LAGITAGIDA

LAGITAGIDA

Looking for a loud dramatic sound? Then LAGITAGIDA is the band for you. Self proclaimed “super-powered attack instrumental rock band”, their tracks are very fast paced and you can imagine it fitting in very well for any final boss fight with the aggressive guitar riffs and high tempo beats of the drums.

These guys formed back in 2010 and have three members- guitarist Kohhan Ohtake, bassist Takehito Kono and Takayoshi Yazawa on drums.

Mudy on the Sakuban

This was a tip off from Daniela from the last instrumental band post! Founded in 2006, Mudy on the Sakuban (mudy on the 昨晩) from Nagoya is formed of five members- guitarist Furusawa Hirokazu, Mori watifo and Yamakawa Youhei, bassist Hounoki Youki and drummer Itou Kouhei. This experimental math rock band has been around for a long time, and produces some wonderfully punk tunes with good humour. Check out their PERSON! PERSON!! music video to see what we mean.
