The four-piece, Nobuki Akiyama (vocs/guitar), Kohei Kamoto (drums), Yotaro Kachi (bass), and Yosuke Shimonaka (guitar), met at the Meiji Gakuin University in 2012, their first EP following in 2015.

“We feel like making music that makes people dance more, which people can feel by their body more than their ears,” said Akiyama. “We celebrate the sounds of instruments as well as vocals, more than ever. After the Covid situation settled, we started to get back the opportunity to experience live music in our daily lives, and it heavily inspired our creativity these days. It’s the song that includes the frustration of getting stuck in the same place, but also having some ambition to leave there to be free.”

DYGL have toured globally, appeared at a number of festivals including Le Magnifique (France), Treefort Music Fest, SXSW (USA), Concrete & Grass (China), Mahorasop (Thailand), DMZ (Korea), and opened for Franz Ferdinand, Beach Fossils, and Pavement.
