Straightener

Straightener might not really look like an organization, but type of a standard in-house task of japan rock and roll picture, having ties with a wide array of important rock and roll bands of the united states. Hinata Hidekazu, the bassist who became a member of in 2003, performed in another of the greater Japanese U2 fans, Art-School, and caused the quirky Zazen Males until 2007; drummer Shinpei Nakayama includes a part task, the Predators, using the vocalist from the Cushions and bassist of Glay; lead vocalist and guitarist Horie Atsushi, as well as Hinata, includes a parallel music group, Fullarmor, energetic since 2002; and that is not mentioning the actual fact that Straightener are primary members from the Nano-Mugen Music Event — an abnormal but well-known punk/alt-rock event structured from the indie rock and roll powerhouse Asian Kung-Fu Era. Nevertheless, reducing the group to some amount of its close friends will be unfair, since Straightener will also be a skillful and effective entity with the capacity of standing on their very own without the name-dropping. The music group released its 1st EP, Straighten It Up, in 2000, getting instant recognition using its punk-infused alt-rock audio, even though it didn’t break the group in to the 1st rates from the J-music picture. In 2002 Straightener began their very own label, Ghost Information, launching a maxi-disc, Sterling silver Record, soon soon after. That “indie” marketed sufficiently to acquire them a location in the rates of a significant label (Toshiba EMI agreed upon Straightener in 2003) — an absolutely crucial moment for just about any J-band’s profession. Since that time, the group provides been functioning at full swiftness: the Rock and roll End Move LP in 2004, Name in 2005, and Dear Deadman in 2006 — the last mentioned being an specifically successful release, accompanied by a huge tour and a brief blast of singles. The music group churned out two big produces in 2007 — Linear in March as well as the EP-sized Immortal in November. The full-length Nexus implemented in ’09 2009.
