Hailing from Tokyo, betcover!! is a genre-defying band from the East and Southeast Asia (ESEA) region, whose explosive blend of jazz-rock, art rock, progressive flourishes, and traces of Japanese ENKA is shaking up the global music scene. Relatively unknown in the UK and EU, this talented band is a revelation for adventurous listeners, delivering a sound that’s both otherworldly and electrifying. As a fresh wave of ESEA artists breaks free from borders and conventions, betcover!! leads with a vibrant intensity that invites Europe’s attention.

From 2021 to 2024, betcover!! unleashed three albums—Jikan (2021), Tamago (2022), and Uma (2023)—each a bold gem that stormed into the top 50 of Rate Your Music’s year-end lists. This isn’t just music—it’s a cultural shift, proving innovation knows no bounds. Tracks like “Flamenco” from Uma weave snarling guitars with Jiro Yanase’s velvet vocals and soaring saxophone, while Jikan’s “Kitsune” delivers raw, blistering intensity over commanding basslines.

Rooted in post-punk’s restless spirit, betcover!! crafts a sound that layers chamber-like elegance, progressive intricacy, and jazz-infused chaos, shattering preconceptions and offering European audiences a bold new aesthetic born from ESEA’s creative spark. For the UK and EU, where the post-punk revival of bands like Black Midi and BCNR has sharpened ears for the avant-garde, betcover!! offers a fresh experience—a sound that challenges and expands musical horizons. Their recordings brim with fearless confidence, their live performances teeter on the brink of controlled mayhem, and their relentless evolution marks them as a talent still taking shape.

To Europe’s music fans: betcover!! isn’t just another band—they’re a gateway to a distinctive, boundary-pushing sound. They’re not merely riding the wave of global art-rock—they’re shaping it, enriching the musical landscape from London to Warsaw with a vibrant, transformative journey.
