about
Japan (1995 - 2009) A Japanese post-hardcore/midwest emo act Naht was formed in April 1995 by SEIKI, ex-member of VOLUME DEALERS. The band went through some member changes for positive reasons and the present lineup is Seiki (guitars, vocal), Takahiro (drums) and Tsuyoshi (bass). They are Japanese emo scene along with the comrade bands like eastern youth and bloodthirsty butchers and have been quite an influence to both following bands and audience in Japan. With aggressive and sometimes tricky beats, dissonant guitar sounds and dramatic melodies combined, they sure are the world-class band in the alternative scene after FUGAZI and DRIVE LIKE JEHU. In October 1996, they were an opener for FUGAZI’s Japan tour. In November, they released 6 songs EP, “downt”. They toured Japan with 3 Discord’s bands, BLUETIP, SWEETBELLY FREAKDOWN and KEROSENE 454. After releasing a few EPs and compilations, they released their first album “Narrow Ways” in July 1999 from Time Bomb Records. In November 1999, they toured Japan with BURNING AIRLINES. The band was joined by a violin player around this time and in 2000, they released their second album “the spelling of my solution” from Toy’s Factory. The album was recorded and produced by J. Robbins in Washington D.C.. They supported JETS TO BRAZIL and once again BURNING AIRLINES for their Japan tour in 2001 and built friendship based on mutual respects among the bands. In return, BURNING AIRLINES supported NAHT in their northern American tour. NA
