ABOUT

About THE MOLICE ]
THE MOLICE is a Tokyo-based indie rock trio known for their genre-blending sound that merges alternative rock, post-hardcore, dance, shoegaze, and classical influences. With performances across North America, Europe, and Asia, THE MOLICE's music resonates globally through its balance of edgy experimentation and melodic hooks. Frontwoman Rinko, whose vocals are primarily in Japanese, delivers emotional and cinematic lyrics often inspired by science fiction classics like Blade Runner and Fahrenheit 451. THE MOLICE’s sound offers a bold departure from Japan’s mainstream pop, embracing an East-meets-West sensibility that is as catchy as it is distinctive.

[ THE MOLICE’s music revolves around the themes of “instinct, dance, physicality, and passion” ]

・The sense of speed found in live performances by The Police and The Beatles
・The folk-inspired sound of songs by Led Zeppelin and The Doors
・The evocative melodies of the Pixies
・Audiences often say, “They sound like Talking Heads.”
This is a band that lets you experience all of these elements.

[ THE MOLICE について ]

THE MOLICEは、東京を拠点とする音楽グループ。

オルタナティブ・ロック、ポスト・ハードコア、ダンス、シューゲイザー、ファンク、そしてクラシックの要素を融合させたジャンルを超えたサウンドで知られています。

北米、ヨーロッパ、アジア各地でライブを行い、エッジの効いた実験的な音楽とメロディアスなフックが絶妙なバランスにより、THE MOLICEの音楽は世界中で共感を呼んでいます。

日本語で歌うボーカルのRinkoは、『ブレードランナー』や『華氏451度』といったSFの名作からインスピレーションを得た、情感豊かで映画的な歌詞を紡ぎ出しています。

THE MOLICEのサウンドは、日本のメインストリーム・ポップとは一線を画す大胆な試みであり、キャッチーでありながら独特な「東洋と西洋の融合」という感性を体現しています。

【THE MOLICEの音楽のメインテーマは "本能、ダンス、身体性、熱" 】

・ザ・ポリスやビートルズのライブパフォーマンスのようなスピード感

・レッド・ツェッペリンやドアーズの楽曲のような民族音楽感

・ピクシーズのメロディーような印象感

・観客には「トーキング・ヘッズみたいだ」とよく言われる。

これらすべての要素を体験させてくれるバンドです。
