The five guys from -OZ- are famous for their dark melancholy rock music, which is defined through catchy melodies, especially in the refrains. With this concept -OZ- follows in the footsteps of former great J-Rock Bands, never being just a copy of old stuff, but rather creating fresh and unique compositions to enthral the fans. The band’s history started in October 2004 and already in December of that year -OZ- had held their first live concert in Niigata CLUBJUNKBOX, which was the starting signal for about hundred more gigs. After some time, the famous Indie label Loop Ash signed the band on and so -OZ- gained even more popularity. Now they want to go beyond the bounds of their home country Japan to enthuse the fans in Europe! One year after their last successful album “Versus”, their newest masterpiece “Rouge” is ready to rock the audience, followed by -OZ-‘s first European Tour in January 2011!
