War and MeSambomasutā

“War and Me” Sambomaster / Cover by Yasutaka Maeda
War and MeSambomasutā

Sambomaster is a three-piece rock band that has won popularity with a one-of-a-kind sound blending straight punk rock with diverse musical influences.

Their song “War and Me,” included on their major-label third album, “Let’s Call Everything About You and Me Rock ’n’ Roll,” paints a vivid picture through its message that captures the raw emotions of heading into war.

Even while understanding that war involves both oneself and the opponent, the mindset of closing one’s eyes to injustice for the sake of one’s own sense of justice or the things one wants to protect is a timeless conflict faced by warriors, past and present.

It’s a melancholic number that calls to mind the tragedy of lives and futures derailed by war.

Despite its lively vibe—which can be misleading—the song has a relatively narrow vocal range, so it suits a wide variety of voices.

It’s one of the easiest songs to sing within punk, so be sure to check it out.
