Forming in late 2012, the past 18 months has been storming for the band supporting the likes of OPM and Fat Wreck Chord's Cobra Skulls on their UK tours. They played a slamming breakthrough slot at Europe’s biggest punk gathering Rebellion 2012 in Blackpool on the New Bands Stage (and went on to open the main stage the following year headlined by The Bronx) and then blew away the Hype Stage at Redfest alongside the likes of Hacktivist, Gnarwolves, Turbowolf and many others as well as performing at Scotland’s legendary Wickerman Festival alongside the likes of Sharks, The Skints and Bad Manners. 

 

They then supported Gnarwolves & Fat Wreck Chord's The Flatliners to a sold out Camden Underworld in as well as supporting The Red Paintings on their UK tour, and opening up The Camden Barfly Jubilee Club Night which due to an overwhelming success on the night, led to further residencies supporting the likes of Bleach Blood.

 

The band also provided main support to OPM once again and Barb Wire Dolls at the Camden Barfly further to a string of UK dates on the DC Shoes Tour.

Legend In Japan were a Punktastic 'Introducing' band (as per the link below) and completed a UK tour sponsored by Piston Head Lager supporting their debut EP Release ‘Welcome to the Pity Party’ culminating in the launch of the EP at a sold out Highbury Garage in London receiving positive reviews from the likes of Alt Sounds. This was followed by a tour of mainland Europe.

Kid of the Star System, branded the 'Interdimensional Wild Child', is a London based
extra-terrestrial who creates a unique blend of styles from a variety of genres.

Her aim is to bring a sense of fun and chaos to her music and to envelop listeners in a warm and comforting blanket of emotions. The artist previously released the expressive 'Laws of the Universe' EP in 2019 as well as her first album 'Pi r2' in 2021, featuring singles such as 'Right With Me', 'Me VS' and 'Make Your Move'. 

2023, we were met with the unveiling of her second album 'Luminous'.
Featuring an explosion of genre-bending sounds and thought-provoking lyrics...
From the pulsating beats of lead single "Sleepwalking" to the introspective musings of "VS Self" & "Horizon Double Negative", each track on the album showcases the artist's impressive range and versatility.
With 'Luminous', she invited listeners to join her on a journey of self-discovery, challenging them to explore themselves and push past their limitations.

Following the bold and defiant release 'Stop Taking Orders'—a rallying cry against societal expectations and a celebration of independence—comes the melancholic summer anthem 'Let Me Down'. The kind of track that hits where it hurts—leaving you feeling every note echo through your bones.
