One of our favorite technical guitarist Yamato Masaoka, along with four other friends is now a unit of funky rock! Calling themselves DOPEDOWN!
This new band was formed on September 10 earlier this year and has so far released a self-titled album and two music videos, MASK, and Revolve. Both songs with a refreshing sound that leans towards an edgy pop-rock style. With vocals that bring attitude and instrumentals that provide the funky sound and beats.
You can pick up their very first album on Amazon Japan where you’ll find eight fresh tracks, two of them which you can enjoy instantly just down below!
Update: The videos below were originally hosted on YouTube, due to some problem with the band’s YouTube account, the band decided to upload short versions of the music videos on Twitter in the meantime.
Update 2: The band’s YouTube account is back in action!
