We the Band-Maidiacs have to work hard to spread the word. I just recently found Band-Maid myself, I have no idea why I didn't find them earlier. I found Rolling Quartz right after their first single release "Blaze" in January and started to listen to them, saw comments and got suggestions on YT about Band-Maid. I didn't click at first, why I don't know, but finally I did and I'm totally in LOVE with Band-Maid and bought their entire catalogue. They are an awesome live band and their music is just great, they yet have to write a mediocre song, they are high quality for sure.

I have recently discovered this band. I am not kidding when I say that these women bring me to tears. I can’t even explain how brilliant they are and why they elicit this kind of emotion in me. I have been playing the guitar for 59 years and precious few musicians have affected me like this. One of the reasons why they affect me emotionally is that, even though they are singing in a language that I will never understand, they have impacted an old man’s life tremendously-and they will never know it. I hope they realize how incredible they are.
