I really hate common short band names. It just makes searching for information on them much harder. This is why I love bands names that are uncommon non-dictionary names. However, this love and hate is limited only to the band names, and not to the music. If a weird name band produces crappy music, there’s no way I’m loving them. Similarly, if there’s a band with a (common) dictionary word as a name that produces nice music, I’m falling for them, in a straight sense. A band like 鴉 is what I’m talking about here.
I’ve loving what I’m hearing so far from this 3 piece band.

On the first listen, the vocals are the most notable. His scream-singing sounds fits well with the band’s music. Ever since I’ve been listening to 凛として時雨’s music, I’ve been looking for vocals that are similar to TK’s, but to no avail. While the vocals of 鴉 doesn’t even come close to TK’s, I like it that way it is too.
After going through their mini album and single, it seems like there’s some sort of traditional Japanese feel mixed into rock music. I wonder if it’s only just my ears…
時の面影
Ever since I’ve started on the guitar, I’ve always had a thing for 3 piece bands. Most of the time, the guitarist will also take on the role of the vocals. I’ve tried singing while playing, and it’s no easy feat. Hence, my admiration for the singing guitarists in 3 piece bands.
