Newspeak is a new outfit on the Japanese music scene. Formed two years ago in Tokyo—consisting of the four members Rei, Ryoya, Yohey, and Steven— the band released a debut full-length album {No Man’s Empire} in November. Since the group’s inception, they have been busy with two sold-out EPs and a string of festival appearances including Summer Sonic 2017 and 2018. With catchy pop-rock tunes and vocals sung in English, it’s clear that the band is looking to appeal to a global audience, and there is an abundance of influences evident in their music to draw in fans from different genres. Their high level of musicianship is also likely to allow the group some real longevity. For a taster of what to expect, take a listen to the single {Eyes Wide Bright} from the new album.
