muque isn’t here to play it safe—and their new EP DOPE! proves it in all caps.
Released on June 11, the five-track collection is loud, daring, and packed with the kind of energy that refuses to be ignored. Straight from Fukuoka, the alt-rock band is stepping way outside the box, combining explosive riffs, danceable rhythms, and sharp emotion to create a sound that feels both fresh and unstoppable.
The opening track, “The 1,” might already be familiar to anime fans—it’s the ending theme for ONE PIECE. But hearing it in the context of this EP gives it even more punch. What follows is a rollercoaster of moods: “Ghost” brings in eerie, bass-heavy grooves, “cheers” throws a rock-fueled party, and the rest of the EP is a nonstop mix of chaos and clarity.
It’s not just the music that hits hard. muque’s lyrics dive deep into self-expression, frustration, and pushing through noise—perfect for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit the mold.
For those who want more than just a studio listen, the First Press Limited Edition comes with a live recording of muque’s tour finale at EBISU LIQUIDROOM—capturing the raw, high-octane energy from their Dungeon headline tour earlier this year. No fancy tricks, just straight performance power.
If you haven’t jumped on the muque bandwagon yet, DOPE! is the perfect reason to start. It’s the sound of a band tearing up the rulebook and building something completely their own—loud, emotional, and unapologetically wild.
