envy is one of the foremost hardcore/screamo bands in Japan. They have a large following outside of their native Japan, and are signed to Rock Action Records in Europe and Temporary Residence Limited in North America, though originally they worked with Level Plane Records. Vocalist Tetsuya Fukagawa was featured on the song "I Chose Horses" from the album Mr. Beast by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai, the same band that owns and operates Rock Action Records.

In Japan, media has portrayed them as "Mogwai from the west, envy from the east", which caused anger from several fans of fellow Japanese post rock band Mono.

envy is known for their originality in music & beauty in japanese lyrics (high level of japanese language) which is often translated wrongly in English & often does not work in english. · close
