Abingdon Boys School

so do some of you love their music i know i do

Sweet, I loved Howling in Darker Than Black

I love their song in Sengoku Basara Anime. If im not wrong it is JAP. Correct me if im wrong.

these guys makes some really crazy anime theme songs

i like the one they sang in D.Gray man!

My favorite song of theirs is their redo of Luna Sea's "Sweetest Coma Again". They took the song and made it their own, and it was great.

Here's a live concert video of it, enjoy. Takanori Ishikawa really was wild on the guitars on this one.

yeah i like them my favorite song is athena n via dolorosa

This is my favorite


and I also like Howling

Ah, one of my absolute favorites. *looks at ticket* Just two more days...

I like most of their songs, especially desert rose, down to you and stealth.

I saw a Sweetest Coma Again in this thread! A W00t to that poster!

I only recently found out about that song so I was like "WTF, THEY HAD THIS OUT!?"

I like their older songs. Some of their more recent songs are okay, but Kimi no Uta didn't fit with me and BLADE CHORD was just meh. JAP and STRENGTH are okay, but they aren't as good as their self-titled album.

Overall, I found them to be rather commercial and got me wishing that they could just release a non-Anime song. -shrugs- I like them anyways, and at least they have a wide variety of songs (so that most of them don't sound like each other), but they're just a tad too commercial-sounding for me.

This thread is lacking some ABS love.

Abingdon Boys School is a Japanese rock band formed by Takanori Nishikawa in 2005, the singer behind the awesome T.M. Revolution. The band was named after the British independent school Abingdon School, in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. They released a total of 7 singles, many of them in notable anime OP/EDs of the recent years, and 2 albums.

Singles include:
1. Innocent Sorrow - D.Gray-man OP
2. HOWLING - Darker Than BLACK OP
3. Nephilim - Folklore videogame insert song
4. Blade Chord - Sengoku Basara 2 videogame OP
5. Strength - Soul Eater 4th ED
6. JAP - Sengoku Basara OP
7. Kimi no Uta - Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 OP

Don't forget the soon to be released next single:

From Dusk Till Dawn - Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini ED

(And I've heard it live. Yeah! 8))

also dont forget their second upcoming album

Abingdon Boys School = ABINGDON ROAD (Release Date January 27 )

True, although he only listed the singles, so I just continued that list.

I've had both the new single and album pre-ordered already for a long time. 8) The only CD of theirs I don't have is the European album since there really wasn't a point in getting it, already having all the singles. Although knowing myself, I might get tempted to buy it anyway... :D

a fan here. haha~

I didn't bother posting the albums because one of them is Europe only and the other album hasn't come out.
