Dustbox – Hurdle Race

A track from their 5th full album, “Blooming Harvest.” The intro guitar riff makes you think, “Is this metal?!”—the rapid-fire chugging really stands out.

At around two minutes and thirty seconds, it’s by no means a long song, but the sheer density of musical ideas is very much like them, not confined to the boundaries of melodic punk.

dustbox “Emotions”『Intergalactic』2022.09.07

The moment those adrenaline-charged guitar riffs hit, the floor erupts into chaos—this track is also known as a live anthem.

Featured as the second song on the September 2022 album “Intergalactic,” it became a defining piece of the tour.

A powerful message is sung to listeners carrying wounded hearts, urging them to release their emotions, and the repeated chorus—“It’s okay to scream, it’s okay to cry”—cuts deep.

Many have likely found courage in the lyrics that kick away others’ negative words and encourage you not to let the fire inside you die out.
