Still Ska PunkHEY-SMITH11rank/position
When it comes to ska bands at the forefront of today’s rock scene, HEY-SMITH—formed in Osaka—surely stands out.
After some lineup changes, the band now features saxophone, trumpet, and trombone, and their appeal lies in arrangements that make full use of the horn section over a melodic hardcore foundation.
Their songs truly cover a wide range: from crisp, West Coast-flavored uptempo tracks, to ska numbers that make you want to sway just by listening, and even tunes marked by metallic guitar riffs and intense shouts.
Plus, with the twin-vocal setup of guitarist Shuhei Igari and bassist Yuji, they keep listeners endlessly entertained without ever letting things get stale.

Included on the 1st mini album “Proud and Loud.” It’s an extremely intense track that puts the entire band’s shouts front and center.
Although it’s only about a minute long, it’s one of their signature songs.

Living In My SkinHEY-SMITH18rank/position
A track from the 3rd album, “Now Album.” I’m surprised by the candid lyrics: written out of a huge desire to sell, written from a longing to keep making music, and then written for myself next.
