Released in April 2025, the single "A Tail on the Heart" showcases the most pop-oriented sound Rubens has delivered to date, bringing forth a melodious quality reminiscent of Spitz - one of the band's openly cited influences. The track added a fresh dimension to the band's musical identity. Then in June, they followed up with "Thirsty days" a new single that has already become a live staple and fan favorite. Despite being built solely around guitar, bass, and drums, the track delivers an alternative rock sound full of Rubens signature twists and playful edge. A groovy rhythm underpins an array of distinctive, offbeat guitar lines, and over the course of just 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the song races through unpredictable shifts in mood and energy - capturing the band's continued evolution.
Formed in Tokyo in 2022, the band commenced activities with its current lineup, consisting of Serena (Vo/Gt), Etsu (Gt), Mary (Ba), and Matsumaru (Dr), in April 2023. To date, they have released eight singles and two EPs. Their breakthrough single, Tenshi-san, released last year, garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally, with its music video surpassing 1.2 million views on YouTube. They have also established a strong reputation for their live performances. Their appearance as the opening act for indigo la End and DADARAY at LIQUIDROOM last December drew considerable acclaim, and their first one-man live show at Shindaita FEVER in January of this year was completely sold out. Currently, their latest single Tsukinami-chan, which showcases a new musical direction influenced by New Wave and Post-Punk, is generating substantial buzz. Concurrent with this, their first nationwide tour is scheduled to commence in October. With their debut full-length album, MELT, slated for digital release on October 29th and as a Tower Records exclusive CD on November 5th, the band continues to draw profound interest in their future endeavors.
