RHEDORIC (formerly known as THE RHEDORIC) will be making their major debut on October 14th. The band recently signed with UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN, and their first release with the label will be a second press of their album Jiggy. The second press will contain all of the tracks from the first press, plus a track from their first single and an unreleased demo song called You Make.
While they are just beginning to gain traction their home country, the members are also eager to make their mark overseas. Guitarist Tomo traveled to the US this summer to perform with KON and NAO of CELL at the Vnited Music Fest, and he and vocalist Yuji also performed together as THE RHEDORIC in Los Angeles last year. Hoping to continue building their fanbase overseas, the band recently joined up with Nameless, JCC Inc., who will release the second press of Jiggy digitally across the US. It will be available through iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon and Google Play starting from September 30th. You can listen to previews of the tracks on the band’s official Soundcloud.
Formed in 2011, RHEDORIC features some familiar faces from the visual kei scene, including former Carat vocalist Yuji, guitarists Tomo (ex-Deflina Ma'riage) and Yusuke Suga (ex-12012) and bassist Shigure.
