susquatch

Susquatch are a Japan rock band formed in 2002 when frontman Kenta Oshikiri met drummer Maki Nakano. The sound of Susquatch can be summed up in two words: J-Rock & Passion. Since then, a guitarist and bassplayer have come and gone. Their sound is an indie-rock band with delicious flavours of jazz chords throughout. Kenta's lyrics are sung in Japanese, English and a language he created himself which mimics English slightly. He writes songs this way because he enjoys the sound of vocals in English but isn't fluent in the language. When he sings these particular lyrics, neither Japanese nor English people can understand what he's singing - However, the amount of passion he has shines through in his performance, making any lyrics (whether coherent or not) obselete. Drummer Maki Nakano can easily be named one of the greatest drummers in Japan, and possibly one of the best female drummers in the world. Her agility and speed are unmatched, along with her precision with articulations while maintaining her incredible ability to keep tempo. Their jazz-rock base along with a phenomenal rhythm section makes Susquatch stand out among most modern bands, and fans can't help but dance, groove and rock out to the music.
