BIS (Believe in Style) is a Japanese rock band formed in July 2004[1] and originally signed to the Free-Will sub-division of PS Company. The band has since switched to the main branch of the label and as of 2007 released a full-length album (Believe in Style), along with several EPs and singles. Their first mini album in 2004 was in the top 10 on the Oricon indies chart,[2] and the single "Extra Baka" hit the number 1 spot on the independent singles chart in 2005.[3][4] The band's vocalist, Maru, posted on their official blog, on November 18, 2007, that the band would be disbanding, and their last live show would be on January 13, 2008.
