It’s been a while since I posted the last Ni-Ongaku Spotlight feature. In this post, let’s take a look at the upcoming all-girl J-Rock group, ORESKABAND (オレスカバンド).

The 6-member band, who got their start during middle school in 2003, first preformed at Anime Expo in 2007 with their hit song, “20 Tips” (Tsumesaki / 爪先); the 11th ending theme for Bleach. The group has also made other appearances around the US such as the Vans Warped Tour, SXSW, Wizard World Chicago, and on Good Morning Sacramento.

ORESKABAND’s popularity seems to be growing at a steady rate. After their first appearance at Anime Expo, the group released their U.S. self-titled debut album. After a year of US performances, I think another nation wide tour is in order.
