★★ Related band introduction ★★
Mode Automatic
Originally, we were a band formed in May 2021 by a guitarist and vocalist from Kumamoto prefecture (currently living in the UK) who was a customer of Ken Kono's record shop.
Aim for a band that transcends genres and categories.
It has been heavily influenced by London punk, which broke out in the late 1970s, new wave in the 1980s, and post-punk.
Of course, the influence from rock and R & R before that is also strong.
For example, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin,
Jimi Hendrix, T.Rex, David Bowie and more.
Also, in September 2021, Bass "Mori",
Drum "nMon Legacy" joined.
Will be active as a band of 4 people in the future.
