About Envy:
It’s difficult to summarize the immense influence Envy has had on underground music. Since 1992, the band has released over a dozen albums, EPs, and singles, evolving through various sub-genres while staying true to their hardcore roots. Their impact spans hardcore, heavy music, post-rock, shoegaze, screamo, and indie rock, making them one of Asia’s most important legendary bands. Over their 30-year career, Envy has earned global acclaim from musicians and fans alike, maintaining a steady and powerful creative output.

Envy’s music, whether old or new, is deeply moving. Tracks like A Warm Room showcase their profound beauty, while Footsteps in the Distance delivers a radical impact on the soul. Their later works, such as Dawn and Gaze, continue to demonstrate their ability to evoke raw, emotional power.
The band has performed at renowned festivals like All Tomorrow’s Parties and Fuji Rock Festival, shared stages with acts like Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, ISIS, Converge, and Deafheaven, and released split albums with bands like Thursday, Jesu, and This Machine Kills. Envy’s sound is unique and intense, blending beauty and wildness in a way that complements rather than contradicts. Rooted in hardcore and influenced by post-rock, their music has attracted a diverse, multi-genre fanbase.

After a lineup change in 2017, the six-member band has continued to evolve, solidifying their legendary status with renewed energy and creativity. While their sound has shifted over time, what remains constant is their ability to create deeply emotional, resonant moments through their music.
