GOING UNDER GROUND

GOING UNDER GROUND

GOING UNDER GROUND is a J-Rock band that debuted in 1991 and in the vein of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION but a little slower and a little more melodic. They are from Saitama prefecture, Okegawa, Japan. The band is also called GUG, Going (ゴーイング), Guiagura (ゴイアグラ) among fans and media.

The band originally formed when the members were in middle school and took on many member changes over the years. They started to perform at live houses in 1998 and then got a major debut three years with the single Graffiti. They soon cracked the top ten on Oricon when they released their album, h.o.p.s.. In 2009, keyboardist Ito Yoichi left the band.
