Band 3: The Worldie
The Worldie was born out of a shared vision of maths rock and emotional aesthetics, angularly rigorous structures, deftly complex melodies and ineffable emotions. Through delicate guitar arrangements and introspective expression, the band navigates between the rational and the emotional. We hope to convey the emotional transitions from fervour, to frustration, to hope through fine rhythms and melodies. Our sound is influenced by bands not limited to American Football, Chinese Football, and TOE.

Band 4: "No Wednesdays"
By focusing on Japanese rock covers, theyre tapping into a niche audience thats passionate about both the music and the broader cultural context. Performing at conventions like Smash! Anime Convention is a smart move, as it gives them direct access to fans who are already engaged with Japanese pop culture.
Having a solid fan base among Asian international students and fans of Japanese anime is a strong foundation. These audiences are often very enthusiastic and supportive of acts that reflect their interests and cultural heritage. If these bands continue to build on this success, they might be able to expand their reach even further, potentially gaining recognition in both Japanese rock circles and international music scenes.They just launched a new YouTube and Bilibili project which cover most of the hit Japanese Rock/Anime songs to re-write them in English~~ You will hear English Version of the latest Season of Demon Slayer OP song Mugen, - , and their Original Songs.Cover Music Video Highlight Link:
