Introducing FACT

Kicking off our Hassle Records week is Japanese post-hardcore/metal band FACT.

Each day of this week we will be featuring a different Hassle Records artist, and with FACT having only joined the label in March (along with 65daysofstatic and fun., the latter of which we’ll be featuring later on in the week), we therefore decided that FACT would provide as good a starting point as any for our fantastic week of featuring quality Hassle artists.

FACT started out its life in Tokyo back in 1999, and the band then began to start touring locally before starting to gig further afield. From forming it took the band five years until the release of the ‘The Fine Day Never Last’ EP in 2004, with debut album ‘Never Turn Out The Light To Keep Myself’ then gaining its release the following year through Japanese label Bullion Records. 2009 was a big year for FACT as the band released its second studio album through Vagrant Records, a self-titled release, the band’s major label debut and first album to reach a worldwide audience. In 2010 the band has followed it up with ‘In the Blink of an Eye’, and now stands strong as a very impressive Japanese post-hardcore band with a great wealth of material.

To date the band has officially released three singles; one from each album that has been released thus far.

The following is the official video for the FACT single ‘Slip of the Lip‘, taken from 2010′s ‘In the Blink of an Eye‘ studio album:

Hassle Records Week

Each day of this week we will be featuring a different Hassle Records artist on the website that played at the Slam Dunk Festival in Hatfield/Leeds over the weekend.

Starting out with FACT, you will then see us cover Alkaline Trio, Rolo Tomassi, Fireworks, and We Are The Ocean as the week progresses, with a different band being focussed on from Monday through Friday.

Expect to see information about these five bands featured here, along with videos aplenty, and much much more in store as we get out Hassle Records Week well and truly under way.
