Zip.er formed in Osaka around 2011 with vocalist Nico, guitarist Riou, bassist Tsui, and drummer Kazuya. Their name comes from the Japanese word for thief, which fits some of their song themes. They put out a debut EP called Ashita Kimi ga Inai Nara in 2014.
Their song Dorobou Neko To Uso Sekai Liar World from 2016 got attention for its cat burglar character and themes of loneliness and deception. Other tracks like Milking and Seven's Color show their melodic rock style with energetic rhythms and introspective lyrics.
They've kept releasing music since then, including albums like Liar World and Yami no Hate, plus singles such as Usotsuki and Wake Up. The band works with a straightforward rock setup and tends to explore darker or sensitive topics in their writing.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
