freedom bells

Winnie is a 4-piece band that combines Swedish pop and metal, interweaving the essence of grunge and emo to create their own emotional rock. Recently, they have continued to work at their own pace, but they will finally start moving in 2022, the 20th anniversary of their formation. With the official addition of Ba,nassy from ABSTRACT MASH, who had served as a support bassist for a long time, they have become a rock-solid lineup and released their first new mini-album "Boost" in about five years. Along with that, it was decided to do a tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Since it's been a long time coming, it wouldn't be strange if the sound changed drastically, but I hope you don't worry about that. While wearing a serious mood, the pop and lovely melody resonates beautifully with the male and female twin vocals, of course, iori's somewhat shadowy lyrics, okuji's technical guitar phrases, and jin's explosive shots are even more impressive. Nassy's play, which is sharpened and connects the sounds, also shows his skill. You should be able to see that they have steadily brushed up as a band. "freedom bells" The melody line with a fantastical atmosphere combined with the solid but supple bass, the sharp and heavy drums, and the wonderfully constructed guitar phrases all give off an outstanding presence. Without crushing each other or being biased towards one or the other, they match each other on a high level, and while having winnie's own color, there is a fresh listening experience. Including the luscious guitar solo, it has a centripetal force that makes you want to be comfortably toyed with live.
