Having reformed in June 2016, Esprit D’Air are an electronic Japanese rock and space metal band based in London. The band is now comprised of Kai (vocals and guitar), Ellis (bass) and Daishi (drums). Their sound is unique and fresh, bringing together hard-hitting aggression with melodic interludes and blistering guitar solos. The band have received critical acclaim from their charismatic live shows in various countries, and their song 'Shizuku' was the first song in the J-rock genre to appear on the video game Rock Band 3. Set to burst back on to the music scene this year, Esprit D’Air made a successful appearance at the main stage of UK’s largest celebration of Japanese culture, Hyper Japan at Olympia in July 2016. 2017 also saw the trio packing out their headline show at the O2 Academy2 Islington, London. The band are not seeking a major record label, but instead have a strong DIY ethos, and aim to be as self-sufficient as possible, producing everything themselves. Consequently they record, mix and master their own releases in their own home recording studio and create the artwork themselves
