Andy is Typing… x Nilmance

With alternative rock as its core music style, local indie rock band “Andy is Typing…” believes that music is simply a record of life. The present continuous tense for “Typing…” in its name also suggests “as long as life continues, we will continue to write our stories.” In collaboration with men’s clothing brand Nilmance that focuses on functional outdoor sportswear, Nilmance designer Mike created a stylish and low-key style that merged with the surging sound of Andy is Typing… that surely offered an explosive experience!
