[dustbox] Classic songs (41–50) from the popular band that has led the punk scene

Still Believingdustbox

It’s a melodic punk track quintessentially dustbox, portraying the conflict and hope involved in chasing one’s dreams.

It was recorded for the 2013 split album “THE ANTHEMS,” and was also included on the album “Care Package” released the same year.

The lyrics are entirely in English, expressing a rejection of the word “give up” and a strong resolve to keep believing no matter how much you’re laughed at.

In the 2024 tribute album, HEY-SMITH covered the song, showing how it’s loved across generations.

It’s the perfect track for those moments when you’re trying something new or need a push forward.

Summer Againdustbox

A melodic punk number where the ache and hope of a long-distance relationship intersect.

It sings of memories with a lover who promised a summer reunion, and the reality of flights being canceled due to bad weather.

Released in December 2018 as the B-side to the single “Farley,” it was later included on the May 2019 album The Awakening.

SUGA said it “turned into a bittersweet love song,” while also revealing it carries gratitude toward his bandmates.

Highly recommended for anyone still carrying the frustration of a summer when you couldn’t meet.

Released in July 2022, this track is a quintessential dustbox melodic punk tune, bursting from the start with high-velocity guitar riffs and a driving 8-beat.

SUGA’s emotional vocals and the liberating chorus melody feel effortless, and it’s reportedly embraced as an anthem that sparks massive sing-alongs at live shows.

The music video, launched alongside the opening of their official YouTube channel, captures raw, in-studio performance scenes.

Moreover, at the tour final, it was performed as the last song of the main set, serving as a climactic number that united the band and audience in shared emotion.

1+1=∞dustbox

From the 7th full album “Care Package.” It’s a song with a simple, straightforward, and positive message: “I’m one, you’re one, and one plus one equals infinity.” While the sound is melodic punk, the melodies and chord work are crafted in a pop style, offering a glimpse of their keen pop sensibility.

A track from the tribute album “We are DISCO!!!” for the disco-rock band the telephones, who are currently on hiatus.

dustbox and the telephones are both bands from Saitama, and members of the telephones reportedly watched dustbox at Saitama live houses back in their high school days.

The song is built on a disco beat while fully showcasing dustbox’s signature melodic hardcore sound, resulting in an arrangement that can truly be called outstanding.

This song is included on the 3rd album, “13 Brilliant Leaves.” The intro guitar is really cool and builds excitement for the listener.

While it follows a classic structure, it’s unmistakably dustbox and remains engaging without ever getting old.

Dustbox, the melodic hardcore heroes of the live house scene, blaze through the high-speed, adrenaline-charged “No More Tequila.” In the chorus they simply repeat the title “No More Tequila,” making it an easy song to remember and a surefire crowd-pleaser at shows.

The sheer rush of that melocore speed alone is enough to get you drunk.
