I need to look into this band. The only reason I've heard of them was because I saw a poll that had them and The Warning. I am a massive fan of The Warning but , didn't want to just blindly vote for The Warning over Band-Maid. I played a song from them (The name escapes me right now) But, I was blown away by their musicianship. Then again, for Japan it should come as no surprise. PRS is my favorite brand seeing as we're both Maryland made(I own 8 including two SE models). So, seeing bands from all over the world rocking PRS it's cool to me. After this video, I'll be exploring Band-Maid more.

Kanami has become my favorite musician of all time. I love her playing style, but I'm blown away by her creativity. She writes the band's music. The interplay between the instruments is so good and creative. No ego. Just write great songs where everyone shines. The deeper you dig, the better it gets.

After hearing this, it seems to have a much better sound than any other brand's lower class models and push me to want to buy it even more.
