Rock band Rhedoric has long wanted to perform in the U.S., evidenced by guitarist Tomo’s frequent visits out to L.A., where vocalist Yuji even joined him in 2014.

However, it’s been difficult for them to put the whole band together for a stateside performance: the original drummer left in 2014, and Yuji was injured early in 2015. But things started looking up in 2015: Yuji returned in August 2015, and in December 2015, Naruka was announced as the band’s new drummer, locking them in as a five-piece once again.

JRock247's Nhu Nguyen caught up with all five members of the band on their (finally!) California tour. Check out the interview below!
