Wish The Sun

[Machine Translation] DRADNATS has released two singles "Tell Me Now" and "I Need Your Smile, Here By My Side" in July and September 2024, respectively. The DRADNATS will release a full-length album to mark the last leg of their trilogy in 2024. This is their first album in about 4 years, and is a masterpiece with a wonderful fusion of sad yet warm melodies and a very thick sound throughout the album. The album also includes two songs from the aforementioned single, "Tell Me Now" and "I Need Your Smile, Here By My Side," both of which are also included on the album, and the song "Stay," which begins with the high voice of KIKUO (Vo&Gt) and builds to a moving ending with a sense of speed, is also a must-listen. This is a new standard song for a band that has been playing melodic punk music for nearly 20 years. In a good sense, there are few tricks. This is an album where you can feel melodic punk more straightforwardly and powerfully than ever before!

2024年7月、9月にそれぞれ配信シングル「Tell Me Now」、「I Need Your Smile,Here By My Side」を立て続けにリリースしてきたDRADNATS。そんな彼らの2024年3部作の大トリを飾るフルアルバム発売! アルバムとしては約4年振りとなる本作は、全編にわたり切なくも温かいメロディーと極太のサウンドが見事に融合した大傑作。先述の配信シングルからも表題曲「Tell Me Now」、「I Need Your Smile, Here By My Side」の2曲が収録されているのも聴きどころのひとつだが、加えてVo&GtのKIKUOの高らかな歌声から始まり、疾走感をまといながら感動的なエンディングへと展開していく「Stay」はライブでの大合唱も容易に想像でき、新たな定番曲へとなっていくだろう。20年近くメロディックパンクを続けてきたバンドが達した境地。いい意味で小細工は少ない。これまで以上に、よりストレートに、よりパワフルにメロディックパンクを感じられるアルバムが完成!
