LOCAL SOUND STYLE is a Japanese EMO/Rock/Power-Pop band. Local Sound Style consists of Masahiro Araseki(Vo&Gt), Yusuke Goto(Gt), Takayuki Kurotaki(Ba) and Kosuke Saito(Dr), who all grew up in the same place, Hirosaki, Aomori, and was formed in 2oo4 when, by chance, all the members met in Tokyo after their high school graduation.
90年代Japanese Punkの洗礼を受けた後、OASIS/BLUR等に代表されるブリット・ポップ、THE GET UP KIDS/JIMMY EAT WORLD等に代表されるEMOを同一線上で消化し、蒼いフックと疾走感に満ちた楽曲を次々と生み出していった彼等は、2005年9月に発売したライブ開場/STM online限定EPを、同サイトのチャート1位に送り込んだのを機に、一気にシーンの最前線へ。
2006年もその勢いは止まることを知らず、同EPの海外流通盤が、外資系CDショップでスマッシュ・ヒット、indiesmusic.comにおいては年間チャート1位を獲得する等、 その注目度は一段と高まっていった。
Their main musical influences are EMO bands like GET UP KIDS and JIMMY EAT WORLD, and Power-Pop bands like FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE and HOLIDAY WITH MAGGIE. Although this had become their musical foundation, they also absorbed the musical essence from Britpop like Oasis and Blur. Now they’ve got their own music filled with powerful, refreshing, and makes-you-feel-good sounds, which no one else but only LOCAL SOUND STYLE can play.
LOCAL SOUND STYLE released their very first self-titled EP "before daylight" in September, 2005. It was limited to be sold at the place they played or on the STM online website, but was very well received and reached 1 in the STM online JP chart. In March 2006, the same EP released in the US. This US version EP was reimported to Japan and won 1 hit of the year in the sales chart on the Indie-only website, 「indiesmusic.com」. LOCAL SOUND STYLE started getting people’s attention.
そして2007年4月、国内の猛者たちだけでなく、DREAM STATE、HOLIDAY WITH MAGGIE、WAKING ASHLNAD等の海外バンドをも魅了してきた彼等が、 エド・ローズ--THE GET UP KIDS、MOTION CITY SOUND TRACK etc--をプロデュースに迎え、待望の1stアルバムをリリースする。 結成時から目指し続けてきた、世界との壁を打ち破る為に。
In April, 2007, LOCAL SOUND STYLE, who played with many top artists such as DAPHNE LOVES DERBY, DREAM STATE, HOLIDAY WITH MAGGIE, and WAKING ASHLNAD, finally released their first long-awaited full album “Doing It For The Kids” produced by Ed Rose, who previously produced big names such as THE GET UP KIDS and MOTION CITY SOUND TRACK. With this album, LOCAL SOUND STYLE went up to 60 in the
Japanese National Chart, and was ranked in 12 for the first week and 10 for the second week in the SOUNDSCAN Japanese Rock Chart. This resulted in an unexpected sales as a new comer and LOCAL SOUND STYLE show their power and unlimited possibility to the stagnant Japanese Indie Rock Scene.
