The four-piece band ART-SCHOOL has made a colossal splash in Japan's musical landscape, adding pumping guitars and pop-centric rock melodies. After their line-up was cemented in 2003, the band released Love/Hate, a grunge/rock album featuring the powerful range of lead singer Riki Kinoshita alongside punk-inspired instrumentals. They continue to push the boundaries of alternative rock, with 2018 album In Colors showing off rapid guitar, cymbal-heavy, furious percussion and Kinoshita's signature emotive vocals.
