Indie Corner Week 5: layla
layla is a four-member rock band that formed in 2016. Vocalist Ariake’s unique singing style harmonizes very well with main guitarist Taiki Miura’s melody, which helps the group stand out amidst a very crowded, guitar-heavy band scene. Their songs “Aparto no Nakade” and “Itoshi Hito” exhibit great examples of this harmonization.
layla currently only has one single, “さよなら、いとしい人 (“Sayonara, Itoshi Hito”)”, released in February of last year. Their mini album, あなた色に染まりたいの (Anata Iro Ni Somaritaino), was released later on in the year. Last year they were also in the semifinals of the RO JACK for ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2017.
