Known for not taking their celebrity personas very seriously, 10-FEET isn't your typical punk band. They are considered to be one of the best live bands in Japan today. 10-FEET's energy both on stage and in their music continues to impress fans and critics alike. Originally they were a cover band, with all 3 members coming from different musical genres. The members' roots include reggae, hip-hop, heavy metal, punk and pop. This eclectic mix of musical styles has influenced and inspired 10-FEET's music from the beginning. As heard in the ska-punk sound of "Be Friends Again", the pop of "Long Distance", and the punk rock of "nil?", they bring a unique and forceful blending of these genres to the world of punk rock. Their songs continue to cross over, bringing fans of many genres together under one band.
As ex-members of various bands and "with the problem child of each band getting together," jokes Takuma, 10-FEET was formed in August 1997 in Kyoto. In early 2000 they performed live with Gorilla Attack, which led to a nationwide tour. In December 2000 they moved to Tokyo.
10-FEET were signed by Buddy [label] early in 2001 and released their first maxi single "April Fool" on April 1st. 10-FEET released their first full album "Springman" in April 2002. Soon after the release of the single "River" in November of that same year, 10-FEET signed with Badass-Universal J. Under their new label they released their 4th maxi single "nil?" in June 2003, and in January 2004, they released what some believe to be 10-Feet's best album to date, "Realife".
10-FEET were one of the first Japanese bands I'd heard. They continue to delight and entertain in both their humor and their music.
