INFO
The Japanese Rock Revolution surged forward this year in the United States with the Jrock Invasion of the ROCKSTAR Taste of Chaos Tour, the worldwide lifestyle festival tour with over 200 dates in 20 countries in the past three years. D'espairsRay, MUCC, and the Underneath proudly charted new territory for the unique and diverse rock sounds of Japan. Travelling across the country to over thirty stops with such popular acts as BLESS THE FALL, IDIOT PILOT, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, ATREYU, and headliner AVENGED SEVENFOLD, they brought out our community in droves and introduced thousands of music fans to their work and presence at every venue. Never before have so many U.S. fans had the opportunity to catch some of the hottest Jrock bands without having to catch a plane.
The winter tour has wrapped and our Jrock ambassadors have returned home, but the Revolution marches on. Jrock Revolution is here to connect you to fellow fans who are a part of the movement to spread Jrock internationally, and to get your feedback on this tour and your opinions across the board to help guide our industry efforts. Whether you're new to the scene or a walking Jrock Wiki, whether you made it to RTOC or not, and whatever kind of Jrock music fan you are wherever in the world you are, we want to hear all about what YOU want.
POLLS
As an active promoter of JSHOCK, RTOC, and with our own plans in the pipeline, we'll take your feedback to the highest levels. It's easy to make your voice heard with our quick polls, which will rotate as time passes to give you something new. We encourage you to be fully opinionated and take our demographic surveys. Tell us the bands you want to see, the way you like your music, and the kind of access you want to shows, merch, and more. You can even choose to enter a random drawing to be selected for a one-on-one discussion with a JRR rep about what you want the industry to know.
