OK ROCK is J-rock band signed onto the AMUSE label, which carries other
popular bands such as SIAM SHADE. They play rock in many different
styles, but always manage to keep their original sound with help from
Taka's hoarse and wonderful voice. biography ONE OK ROCK was
created in the summer of 2005 by Alex, Ryota and Toru. Vocalist Taka
joined the band after a short while and they started playing concerts
around Tokyo. That December, one of their concerts completely sold out! ONE
OK ROCK was officially put on the market as an indie band in July,
2006. This was also when their first mini-album, ONE OK ROCK, was
released. They started getting a lot of attention and soon they also
started selling records in foreign record shops. Their concerts in
September gathered a lot of fans and in December they released a second
mini-album. More than 500 people attended their first oneman live at
Shinjuku LOFT; this was great news for the guys since they hadn't been
around that long. After almost two years without a drummer,
Tomoya finally joined as their official drummer in March 2007. They
released their first single, Naihi Shinsho, with the complete line-up in
April 25. This single earned them a few plays on a nationwide radio,
which gave them even more fans and also a record deal with the major
company AMUSE. Their long awaited second single Yume Yume was released
on July 25. The following month, their first nationwide tour started. Throughout
the next year, they continued going strong with much activity, which
only increased their fanbase. However, in April 2009, that was when the
band went through their first major crisis. Guitarist ALEX was arrested
for touching the leg of a 21-year-old woman on a train in Kawasaki. Due
to the unfortunate circumstances, a single scheduled to be released that
May was cancelled indefinitely along with the opportunity for their
song to be featured as the theme for the series “God Hand Teru” and the
tour that was scheduled to start that April. A month later, ONE
OK ROCK announced on their website that in order for the band to stay
alive, it would be best for ALEX to leave. For now, they are a
four-piece group. For the remainder of the year, they scheduled another
tour to run from September through November. They also announced the
release of their 4th single to be released on February 3, 2010. Being
a young band as they are, there is still plenty of time for ONE OK ROCK
to surprise their fans with more outstanding releases and performances,
so be sure to keep an eye on them! source:http://www.jame-world.com Read more: http://www.jame-world.com/uk/database-artists-biography-700-one-ok-rock.html#ixzz0qM1kBBac
