Looprider is a heavy rock band hailing from Tokyo, Japan.
Combining a mix of rock, shoegaze, noise, metal and hardcore, Looprider’s sound is a multiverse of diverse sound palettes,
with no one style lingering around for too long.
Formed in 2013, the band’s sound is centered around the group’s now-signature bass-less, three-piece instrumentation of Ryo7’s pounding drums, Tacchi’s fuzzed out, effects-laded down-tuned lead guitar, and Ryotaro’s wall-of-sound baritone guitar setup, rumbling through both a bass amp and a Hiwatt amp stack.
Looprider has performed across Japan alongside an eclectic mix of acts, including Melt-Banana, Electric Eel Shock and
Luminous Orange. They have organized and hosted more than 20 events through their career, including their “Pop Sabbath”
events in which the band curates and invites a slew of various acts from the Japanese independent music scene. Most
recently the band has released their new album Metamorphose from Japanese independent label Call And Response
Records. The album features the heavy, grunge anthem “Red,” which was part of Adult Swim’s Japan Is Loud compilation,
released in 2022 and featured other prominent acts from the Japanese underground, including Boris, Melt-Banana, DMBQ
and Otoboke Beaver. Metamorphose continues to showcase the band’s interest in a diverse range of sounds as they strive
to reinvent the definition of “heavy music” for both themselves and the audience.
