ABOUT
CONCEPT
固定概念、同調圧力、宗教、法律、言語、様々な価値観や、情報の中、現在の社会での生き方に
『答えはすでに知っているはず』をテーマに、ハードロックというジャンルが本来もっている、勢い、激しさ、荒々しさ、狂気な部分もコンセプトとし、『ロックとは何のか？』『ライブパフォーマンとは何か』を探し続けている。
Despite of the differences in religion, law, philosophy or language and the questions to the authenticity of the media in this modern society, “EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW IN YOUR LIFE ALREADY HAS BEEN ANSWERED” — this is the principal concept of Answer-ed. The band also exemplifies what rock essentially has to offer: verve, violence, fierceness or madness. Answer-ed also seeks to redefine “What is rock?” or “What is live performance?” to the recent-day audience who mainly listen to digital or pop music, created entirely by computer sounds.

SOUND
ボーカル、ギター、ベース、ドラムの基本バンド構成を中心としたサウンドに、シンセサイザーや電子ドラム、効果音などのデジタルサウンドをミックス。ヘビーなギター＆ベースリフと共に、手数が多めの激しいドラムをサウンドの特徴とする。英詩と日本詩によるサウンドとメロディーがJーRockの概念を打ち破り、邦楽サウンドでもありながら、洋楽サウンドにもなりうる唯一無二の存在を特徴とする。
Answer-ed merges the basic band components of vocals, guitar, bass and drums with synthesizer, electronic drums and other digital sound effects. The band features heavy guitar and bass riffs, decorative and powerful drum fill-ins. Lyrics and sound-wise, their combination of Japanese and English lyrics in single tune really breaks down the image of traditional J-ROCK’s sound and melodies. Answer-ed tries to position itself to be the only one as a hybrid of Japanese and the world’s mainstream music.
