Known for their unique blend of genres that span from jazz to rock to electronic, the group has consistently pushed the boundaries of music, making them a beloved fixture in the Japanese indie scene. Their versatility is underscored by their instrumental proficiency and complex arrangements, which have become a signature part of their sound.

Over the years, The Band Apart has built a robust discography, punctuated by a series of recent releases showcasing their ever-evolving style.

The remixed single "O. Bong (G.O.N.E. Remix)" and their collaborative effort "The Ninja [Remixed by George (MOP of HEAD)]" reveal a willingness to reinvent their music through the lens of other artists.
