Music Corner Week 56: AliA
/ KenAliA is a six-member rock band that formed back in 2018. Like bands such as UVERworld before them, they introduced the masses to a unique sound. The band uses instruments that aren’t usually associated with the rock genre such as the violin.
Out of the gate, AliA doesn’t shy away from a stylized uniqueness by putting violinist RINA front and center with a composition that might be all over the place without her elegant sound to reign chaos. The vocalist AYAME is also able to dictate the pace of any track that the band does with her without the use of vocals. With tracks like “letter” and “Mutsuno Hana” that show off a soft and emotional side, to the high energy tempo songs like “eye” and “Yuto Pia”, there is nothing this band cannot accomplish with the formula they are given.
With only two singles available, “Side Sunset” and “Eye” that released back in 2019 and 2020 respectively, and two mini-albums RElize and AliVe in 2019, AliA is a band that shouldn’t be ignored. Be sure to check out their official website, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, along with the music video for their track “eye” below!
