I wanna rush out with my bare feet
Tying laces is a waste of time
I don't mind getting soaked in the rain
Let the sweat dry in the rain
They say memories always come with rain
Like that old song used to say
Singing that tune, on my way to you
Just like when we were reckless kids
I just wanna hang and shout it out
Wasting time to last forever
It’s OK, just to be alive
I hope that I go through the never
It’s OK, fill in the blanks
Forever keep on changing
Through the never, no time to waste again
Through the never, no time to waste,Yeah
So it's gonna be alright!

Wasting Time (Instrumental)
Tortionals
From Kashiwa, Chiba to punk scenes across Asia, four-piece rock band TORTIONALS release their new single "Wasting Time" on October 10, 2026 - their first new music in about a year and a half, following "Burn Out" (April 2025).
A mid-tempo, emotional track that carries the feeling of summer's end. Built on the band's signature blend of punk rock, pop punk and emo, and layered with a nostalgic, bittersweet melody, "Wasting Time" reveals a new side of TORTIONALS. Its lyrics embrace constant change, and despite the title, arrive at a powerful message: there's no time to waste.
As with their previous release, the cover artwork was illustrated by Painter P.
A song for seeing off the summer, best shared with the people who matter most.
Artist Profile
Tortionals
TORTIONALS is a four-piece rock band based in Kashiwa, Chiba. Formed in 2022 by local friends who were previously active in different bands, they proved their worth by performing at the prestigious local outdoor festival "CAMPASS 2022" just six months after formation. They have continued to perform at "CAMPASS," most recently electrifying audiences at the 2024 edition. While rooted in punk rock, pop punk, and emo, their sound stands out for incorporating elements of power pop and country music. Their accessible melodies inspire singalongs with beer in hand, and their international rock sound has garnered support from fans both in Japan and abroad. In 2023-24, they embarked on their first international performances with the "GO OUT ASIA TOUR," culminating in a sold-out show at Shimokitazawa SHELTER. They have actively supported tours of foreign bands in Japan and performed at outdoor festivals in Korea and Taiwan, steadily expanding their presence throughout Asia. In December 2024, they performed at "Punk Strike Festival 2024" in Taiwan, further strengthening their presence in the Asian punk scene. In April 2025, they released the new single "Burn Out," a track that addresses digital-age anxieties and self-liberation, embodying the band's growth and evolution over the three years since their formation. With their unconventional musicality and approach to activities, TORTIONALS continues to break new ground in the rock scene, maintaining a strong presence in the Asian punk rock community.
