a crowd of rebellion

High-velocity Japanese post-hardcore defined by the jarring contrast of glass-shattering falsetto and visceral screams. Intense, melodic, and relentlessly technical.

Intro

Formed in Niigata in 2007, a crowd of rebellion has become a cornerstone of the Japanese 'screamo' and post-hardcore scene. Their sound identity is built on the 'twin vocal' system, featuring the stark contrast between Daisaku Miyata's aggressive screams and Ryosuke Kobayashi's signature high-pitched clean vocals.

Musically, they occupy a space between the electronic-tinged chaos of Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas and the technical, math-rock influenced aggression of Sokoninaru. Their career arc shows a steady evolution from raw, hardcore roots toward a more 'studio-polished' and experimental sound that incorporates glitchy electronics and complex song structures, particularly evident in later releases like 'ALVA'. Critically, they are praised for their ability to maintain emotional sincerity within a genre often criticized for being overly formulaic. They represent a specific branch of Japanese alternative rock that prioritizes high-energy performance and technical dexterity without sacrificing the melodic hooks essential to the domestic market.
