envy

For over three decades, these rock veterans have played their own impressive blend of post-hardcore, screamo, and post-rock, bucking trends and weathering lineup shakeups. They’ve released dozens of albums and singles. They’ve performed alongside the likes of Mogwai, Jesu, Thursday, and Deafheaven, and inspired countless guitar bands in their native Japan and beyond. They’re coming to the the OFF Festival on the heels of their newest record, Eunoia, which critics have called the most impressive release in the band’s history. Even if that’s true, Envy—by the band’s own admission—shows its true face live. “The best part of Envy is the live show, so if we come near your town, please come over,” they urge in interviews. This isn’t a band you say no to.
