Profile

Art-School got started thanks to the work of Kinoshita, who got all of the members together. They started like any Indies band does, by playing at clubs and festivals. In 2002 the band was able to get a time slot to play at the Fuji Rock Festival. That same year, they also got a contract with Toshiba-Emi and released the single Diva that October. They wasted no time and released yet another work a month later. Their work paid off. In January 2003, they held a concert at the Shibuya Club Quattro that sold out! Art-School continued to sell out concerts that they performed at. In March 2004, a bassist and guitarist formally joined the band. And so the story continues as this band tries to make a name for itself�Ebr>

My Thoughts

If you are looking for a good starter JROCK band, then def. try Art-School. Their music has fun, nice light melodies. The singer, Kinoshita also has a punk like voice. He can hit the low notes very well, but when he goes for the higher ranges, he does not hit them very well at times. It will definitely take some experience for his voice to really mature. But really, this band is pretty good. Their music kinda reminds me of some of the pop/rock singers over here in America. They are like a cross of Blink 182 and something heavier like Weezer perhaps?
