te' is one of Japan's most popular post-rock groups. They are known for their highly energetic recordings and even more so for their energetic live performances. Their stuff is all in Japanese, but they have provided a loosely translated set of titles for their releases. I don't really know what else to say.

Magazines, CR-J (which produces the College Chart in Japan), and various other media add to the hype. Offers from overseas began to roll in. te''s highly anticipated debut full length album was released in Japan in September 2005, and immediately charted at number ten on the Tower Record Japan charts ahead of many major popular artists. Their album sales continued to grow as they embarked on a tour of Japan. Recently, te' played shows with Swiss band Koch Schuetz Studer and Coptic Light from New York. Koch Schuetz Studer even invited the band to support them on a tour of Switzerland. Word about te' is fast spreading across the seas, with foreign magazines such as Bounce, HMV, VICE and so on featuring the band in their articles. More and more fans are flocking to see te' perform live. With an effects-infused bass, explosive guitars, and pounding drums at its core, te' is a world-class instrumental band from Japan. te' consists of 2 guitarists, a bassist and a drummer. Their music is similar to bands such as Mogwai, Appleseed Cast, Tristeza, Slint, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Mono. The name is actually té, but everyone ...
