A great new (relatively, they finally released their first album this month) Japanese band with a great lineup of members, including the vocalist/guitarist (Riki Kinoshita) and lead guitarist (Masafumi Todoka) of ART-SCHOOL.

This stuff is freaking fantastic. I got their album, and it's amazing. Definitely a band worth following.
