Bio
The band's first eye-opener into the world of music began with band
leader, TA-1, first encountering Hip Hop music. At this time, TA-1 was
simply a DJ but soon transformed into a drummer after finding interest
in intricate rhythms. During high school TA-1 got together with
classmates, Keishi (Vo.) and Hiroshi (Gtr.) and a band was born.
Influenced by the ska boom in the late nineties they quickly become a
ska-core band and upon moving to Tokyo, met a trumpet player named
Honma, who was soon included into the group. Soon after, the band
recruited a saxophonist and bassist thus creating the six-piece band
known as "Riddim Saunter."
2005 saw the release of their debut album, "Current", which became
recognised soon after release as a well blended piece of work, including
Punk, Rock, Hop Hop and Soul.
2007 the band further mix their musical roots of black music with
inspiration from bands such as Thames Beat, to create and release their
second album, "Think, Lad & Lass". For this release the band hand-
printed ten thousand of their own colorful album artwork, and the band's
indie "DIY" style becomes the talk amongst the Japanese youth.
Before the band knew it, all ten thousand albums sold out immediately.
After this second album, the band release an acoustic album and a remix
album, featuring overseas artists such as Matias Tellex (Norway),
SoftLightes (USA) and 33HZ (USA) which further demonstrated the bands
diversity.
In 2009, They release 3 rd album , "Days Leed" on Oct. and They release CD and artwork separately. Nobody release this style in the world. Lots of Japanese media and stores focus this style!
They played recording in Norway. Because they inspired NORWAY music and recorded strings.
Famed for their frantic shows, the bands up-close, in your face
style of performance won them the support slot for The Go-Team's first
ever Japan tour, The DEATH SET first ever Japan tour,VIVIAN GIRLS
first ever japan tour and an invite to perform at the 2007 Fuji Rock
Festival.They played the great escape and escape,stag & tagger in UK.,NORWAY Blown away
by their set at the festival, Johnny from American punksters "The Death
Set" promptly invited the band to tour with them in the US in the near
future.
Outside of their standard style of live performance, the band are able
to perform acoustic only sets and are also able to include a string
section of five additional players, which is just another addition to
their charm.
