Looprider

Mainstays of Tokyo’s indie music scene, Looprider are touring Japan in support of their latest release, Love. The new album, the band’s third, marks the debut of their new guitarist, Tacchi, who joined in 2025 after the departure of long-time guitarist Haruka. The lead single from the album, the aptly named ‘Havoc’, characteristically blends heavy influences with tinges of doom metal and stoner rock amongst a frenetic hardcore backbeat and soaring guitar solos. The tour will see the trio head to Osaka and Nagoya on top of this Tokyo show at Higashi-Koenji’s Niman Denatsu, where they’ll be joined by supports Pale, Sex Virgin Killer and Baboon.
