Struggle For Pride

Struggle For Pride is a Japanese post-hardcore band formed in the late 90s, originally fronted by Hisashi Imai of the legendary noise rock band, Boredoms. While their sound shares the intensity and experimental nature of Boredoms, Struggle For Pride carves its own path with a heavy emphasis on driving rhythms, angular guitars, and Imai's distinctive vocals. Over the years, the band has seen a rotating cast of members, with Imai remaining the core creative force. They've built a dedicated following through relentless touring and a consistently evolving sound that incorporates elements of noise rock, hardcore, and even hints of electronic music.

Known for their explosive live shows, Struggle For Pride has shared stages with a diverse range of artists, further solidifying their reputation as a powerful and unpredictable force. From their early releases on labels like Transcendental and Skin Graft Records to more recent work, they've continued to push boundaries and challenge expectations. Their music often carries a sense of urgency and defiance, reflecting the band's name and their commitment to artistic integrity.
