FROTHY

[Machine Translation] THE ANDS' first new album in two years, "FROTHY," explodes with an alternative sound that has expanded into Asia and become even larger in scale! Formed in 2011. Formed in 2011, the alternative rock band consists of Naofumi Isoya, Takanori Matsuo, and Jun Sotsu. The band's style is directly connected to Britpop, grunge rock, and post-rock, and has taken the industry by storm with a style that is beyond the quality of Japanese bands. In 2012, they released their first album "FAB NOISE" from Nomadic Records, a label based in Isoya's hometown of Fukushima. The song was selected as a power-push song for Fukushima FM, MID-FM, and Oshu FM. In October 2013, they released "Sunny Day", a single only for live venues and distribution. In 2014, they released their 2nd album "euphorium". The album presents a new form of alternative rock. In spring 2015, they performed at the "Spring Scream" rock festival in Taiwan, and at the end of the year, they toured 12 cities in mainland China, including Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Beijing. In 2016, they performed at MIDI FESTIVAL 2016, one of the largest rock festivals in China. The band's activity share both domestically and internationally has expanded greatly. The band, which has further scaled up after their overseas experience, is now ready to fly out into the world again with the full-throated sound of the alternative spirit in their new album "FROTHY"!
