The session band 「Childhood」 has put their session activities to an end, and has instead as of December 26th have become a full-fledged band called 「Hydra」.

Vocals - SinLi (ex-Gimmick)
Guitar - Hiyro
Guitar - BAL (ex-dip)
Drums - Iori (ex-CELLT, ex-Kurikara Support)

There are two photos on each member’s profile page, so check their OHP out if you want to see a little bit more of their look! I think that for a brand new band they look really cool.

SinLi has a blog set up on Ameba, for anyone who want sto check it out! – http://ameblo.jp/hydra-sinli/

The band has a few lives lined up for this month, and while no news of a release is present quite yet, hopefully we’ll be able to hear from them soon!

They look good, so I hope their music matches.
