“Faustus” is a 3-piece instrumental rock band with members from Thailand and Japan that draws on elements from math rock and hardcore, to jazz and classical, to create complex and impactful music. 

Formed in August 2018, the band released a 2 track 7” vinyl in mid-2019. In November 2020, they released their first full album digitally by themselves and in CD format through parabolica records in Japan. In July 2025, they released their second full album, their first in five years, again digitally by themselves and in CD format through parabolica records in Japan. 

The band has become a regular fixture of independent music shows and events around Thailand, including at music festivals such as “Paradise Fes”, “Cat Expo”, “Bangkok Music City” and “Post Gazer” and has supported international touring acts such as mouse on the keys, LOSTAGE and The Novembers, from Japan, The Ocean from Germany, Forests and Amateur Takes Control, from Singapore, and Clever Moose, from Indonesia. 

On the band’s first tour through Tokyo in August 2023, they were able to share stages with noted artists such as peelingwards, LOSTAGE and the band apart. At “FEVER TOUR 2024 in Bangkok”, held in July 2024, Faustus reunited with LOSTAGE and also shared the stage with The Novembers and Achico (Ropes). 

Their second Japan tour is scheduled for July 2025, where they are set to perform alongside prominent bands from Japan’s indie scene, including cinema staff, mouse on the keys, LOSTAGE, the band apart, bacho, SPECIAL OTHERS, the SHUWA, ENDZWECK, and Sonic Shapes.
