SiM is a round rock band that champions the genre of reggae punk.

Their live performances—capable of drawing you into their world in an instant—are also a must-see.

SiM’s Classic and Popular Songs (21–30)

This is a popular song by a loud rock band known for their unique style that blends heavy metal sounds with a reggae groove.

The track is a classic, featuring their signature lively, distinctive reggae feel and a powerfully resonant, heavy low-end guitar.

From the 4th full album “THE BEAUTiFUL PEOPLE,” released in April 2016.

Featuring SiM’s signature tribal (ethnic) scale and bouncy rhythm, the gritty, heavy riff leaves a strong impression.

I feel this track expresses how SiM’s more primitive, folk-inflected color became clearer starting with this album.

From the 3rd mini album “i AGAINST i,” released in September 2014.

The song takes the sorrow of discovering the irredeemable inner side of someone you once admired and turns it into a lesson learned—channeling it into a forward-looking resolve: “I won’t become like that!” Another distinctive feature is its use of a method common in reggae, where a new song is built on a riddim (a memorable bassline and drum pattern from a hit track).

The final track from the first mini-album “LIVING IN PAiN,” released in October 2010.

From the intro, the song builds momentum with a high-speed two-beat, blending ska elements with the straight-ahead bounce typical of loud rock, packing various influences into a single track that feels like a textbook of modern loud rock.

The lyrics are also somewhat political and social, sounding an alarm toward the music industry as well, so be sure to check those out too.

ANTHEMSiM

From the 3rd single “ANTHEM,” released in March 2010.

This was the first recording released after the current lineup was formed.

It initially features the classic reggae riddim WORLD JAM, starting with a laid-back reggae vibe before the atmosphere shifts dramatically into a high-speed reggae punk rock song.

During the chorus, everyone can join in a mass sing-along of the phrase “Take your hands,” and the sense of unity at the live shows will undoubtedly be overwhelming.

RiOTSiM

From the 3rd mini-album “i AGAINST i,” released in September 2014.

This track opens the album.

Its standout feature is the intro, where a pop melody rides over a guitar with irregular bending phrases.

The chorus riff, with its heavy rock/nu-metal style phrasing, can be seen as an antithesis to today’s loud rock scene.

From the 4th single “EViLS,” released in April 2013.

A ballad with such a strong presence that calling it a B-side hardly seems fitting.

Though they champion reggae-punk, their other weapon is message-driven ballads delivered with conviction.

This track could be said to embody that.

It was also the first song in which they adopted Japanese lyrics.
