[waterweed]Released the music video for “Good luck” from their new album “Departures.” The band will also be starting their Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka tour from June 15th!

Waterweed has been leading the scene since before the word “loud” was even used and the genres “post-hardcore” and “screamo” were even recognized. The style they arrived at through their exploration was the deepening of melodic hardcore, which is their “roots”. In the UK/EU, they signed with the prestigious British label “Lockjaw Records”, and while their reputation in Japan is growing through reverse imports, the two singles included in this album are starting to attract more attention, such as being used in anime.

Today, the music video for the short tune “Good Luck” from the just-released album “Departures” was released. The intro features guitar techniques reminiscent of their early days, and the contrast between emotional melodic HC and sharp screamo. The message of “don’t give up” shouted by the band, who have long lived in the reality of live houses, hits home.

In an ever-changing world, the sound of a band that has found something unchanging is always the deepest and newest.
This will surely be proven on their Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka tour, which begins in their base of Osaka on June 15th.
A limited edition physical CD of “Departures” will also be sold at the venue.

profile:
They are a leading underground band that led the scene before the term “loud” even existed and the genres “post-hardcore” and “screamo” were even recognized. First, the Asian hardcore scene responded to them, and they toured Korea, Taiwan, and Indonesia. This led to a contract with the British hardcore label “Lockjaw Records” and the release of a UK version. They then successfully completed a European tour across five countries (UK, France, Holland, Czechoslovakia, and Germany), including the “Manchester Punk Festival (UK)” and “Burning Ramp Festival (Germany)”.
