Tokyo's Coolest Sound

The first release of 2017 is a brand new single by trauma techno-pop band Urbangarde! Check out the video below, and this official comment by band leader Matsunaga Temma.

"This is URBANGARDE. We're releasing a single after 4 and half years. Surprisingly, during the last few years that we didn't release any singles, humankind has gone extinct. The era of social media has dissociated human lives and divided them into angels (tenshi) and devils (akuma)... To those of you who used to be human, to those who live insecure days like ghosts, We will show your true shape through music. You are devils to the very end."

The single comes in two editions, a limited edition with a bonus DVD including two music videos and a live show of 8 songs, and a regular edition of the CD only with bonus instrumentals.

Amazon gives away an exclusive promo 3-song acoustic CD (while supplies last), and for those in Japan, Tower Records (ships to Japan only) offers a bonus DVD of a 60-minute show titled "Gasmask Party" held in December 2015, where all performers and audience had to wear gas masks.

Urbangarde's next upcoming big show is a one-man event to be held on May 6, 2017 at Daikanyama Unit, following the same in Osaka on May 4.
