After their performance at Download Festival and a headliner show in London in June of this year, reggae-punk band SiM mentioned in their social media post that fans should “prepare for an upcoming European tour next year” and they have kept their end of the bargain with the announcement of a European tour scheduled for February 2024. SiM will be performing in 10 countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Denmark.
The Japanese band first announced a tour where they will be joining the American rock band Nothing More as a special guest together with Danish rock band Siamese. They will also return to the United Kingdom with a hand full of shows. Soon after, the band announced that they will be joining Electric Callboy and Nothing More for four arena shows in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. In addition, they announced two headline shows in Paris and Cologne to make it complete. In other words: a busy and extensive tour schedule consisting of 18 shows in 10 countries. And European fans of SiM were waiting for this, as the two headline shows sold out soon after the announcement.
SiM is an abbreviation for Silence iz Mine and started with activities in 2004. The current band line-up consists of vocalist MAH, guitarist SHOW-HATE, bassist SiN and drummer GODRi. With songs with attitude filled with headstrong lyrics, their musical approach combines a variety of music genres; nu-metal, alternative, hip-hop, ska, reggae, dub, and punk. And according to the vocalist MAH, the band was “born in a live house, grew up in a live house and will die in a live house”.
Recently they gained a lot of popularity for their theme song related to the anime series Attack on Titan, titled The Rumbling. In 2022 they made the step-over from Universal Music Japan to Pony Canyon. In September, SiM released their sixth album PLAYDEAD, which includes UNDER THE TREE, a theme song for Attack on Titan‘s final season. To promote the new release, they have been touring the United States and currently Japan.
