puggs, a three-piece band based in the Kansai region, has released the jacket for its first album "Puggs' Encounter Experience" to be released on September 25, 2024 (Wednesday), as well as comments from senior musicians recommending the album.
Formed in 2020 by vocalist and guitarist Riki Maeda and drummer Daichi Oitate, puggs has only just begun to take off, but they are steadily gaining attention from the music industry.
The appeal of their music lies in their diverse musicality, which cannot be expressed in a single color. They greedily swallow the music they revere and just keep pursuing comfortable pop music. The music produced by the band has glimpses of "masterpieces" that have been loved by many people, transcending time periods, countries, and genres. This is a record that will surely remind everyone of the music they used to listen to, and at the same time, will be an encounter with puggs who respect the same music and try to create a new sound. Please enjoy the experience of encountering such nostalgic yet new pop music with the first album "Puggs Encounter Experience.
Recommendation
The band's reinterpretation of the concept of "retro" as only today's 20-somethings can do is very comfortable, and shows us a new and nostalgic view of Japan. Congratulations on the release of this wonderful album!
─ ─ Kokawa Kokoro (drummer/kott)
I was involved in the recording of "Pags' Encounter Experience" and was struck by the musicality they created. The unique melody line and groove in the nostalgic air is pleasant, and the habitual songs that make you want to hum along are very appealing.
During the creation of this album, I was touched by their personalities, their commitment to sound, and their individual feelings about music, and I realized that this is the one and only music that can only be performed by these three musicians.
They swallow various genres such as rock, blues, and pops, and make their favorite music into songs, and I happened to encounter their music by chance and was able to experience it in its entirety.
