Artist Profile
EsHailing from Japan, Es exploded onto the scene in 1984,forging a sonic landscape unlike any other. This three-piece powerhouse seamlessly weaves together disparate genres - punk, No Wave, progressive rock, jazz funk, and psychedelia - into a thunderous, unforgettable sound. Guitarist and vocalist Hideaki Takahashi, the band's sole original member, has steered Es through numerous lineup changes, culminating in the enduring partnership with drummer Yasuhiro Araki (ex-Allergy, P-MODEL, Mizu no Hane) and bassist MOTOMI since 1989. Known for their explosive live performances, Es remained largely underground until their long-awaited debut album, the double CD [Eschatos)], released in 2025 to celebrate their 41th anniversary. Previously, their only official release was a track on the 1987 Trans Records compilation [NG II], a legendary label that also featured seminal acts like YBO2, CANIS LUPUS, RUINS, and Z.O.A.
