MOSH PIT GIG VOLUME.3 - ROACH PRESENTS

Roach is a hardcore rock band with a soft center and heavy music with honest, positive lyrics - without the cheese, nor the preaching. Formed in 2003 in Okinawa, ROACH is set to take over the Japanese hardcore scene with their catchy hooks and uniquely Ryukyu-esque sound. The band's history includes appearances at legendary venue Budokan as well as festival shows in Japan, Taiwan, and the US. Their latest release Okinamerica further intertwines their traditional Okinawa roots with their US influences to create their catchiest album yet.
