History Music / Area11

* ScheduleSlip: GIGACRAFT has been afflicted with a case of this, albeit not terminally yet. Episodes one to four were each released a day apart starting at the end of april, with no sign of the fifth.

* UnpluggedVersion: Shi No Barado has had one, uploaded on their channel. Amusingly, an electric keyboard stood in for a piano.

* BSide: Both "Shi No Barado" and "Go!! Fighting Action Power" have B-sides, the former being a re-recorded old song of theirs, the latter a beautiful piano version of "Heaven-Piercing Giga Drill".

* TitleTrack: The fourth movement of "Bōsōzoku Symphonic" would be this for ''All The Lights In The Sky'', if it weren't for the fact that all five movement names are AllThereInTheManual.

* {{Ambient}}: Sparkles* released one on his Soundcloud, located [[https://soundcloud.com/ghostofsparkles here]]. The song itself is called "Prologue III (Echodeath)",lasts for 20 minutes, and supposedly is a massive clue to his game, "[[AlternateRealityGame Digital Haunt]]".

They have also created the ending theme for the {{Bravoman}} animated series, titled "GO!! Fighting Action Power".

* {{Ambient}}: Sparkles* released a 20 minute long one on his Soundcloud, located [[https://soundcloud.com/ghostofsparkles here]].

* UnpluggedVersion: Shi No Barado

* LostForever: BLACKLINE/BLACKLINE 「COMPLETE」 . Well, the songs can still be easily found online, but after being taken down from BandCamp, they can no longer be obtained. By legal methods, at least.

Their debut album, ''All The Lights in The Sky'' was released on January 31st 2013. Half the band[[hottip:*:Specifically, Sparkles* and Parv.]] are members of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} where they do video and sound editing, and this fact certainly hasn't hurt them getting their name out. They are also signed to a record label made by the Yogscast, Yogscast Studios, who helped them release their debut album onto iTunes. Before then, they released their work on their BandCamp, but after releasing their debut album they chose to remove their EP, ''Blackline Complete'' from the site, due to each of the songs being re-recorded for ''All The Lights in The Sky''.

* GratuitousJapanese: Japanese is sprinkled throughout several songs, and the first movement of "Bōsōzoku Symphonic", "Ryōkan" (being a Japanese poem set to music) is [[CaptainObvious entirely in Japanese]].

* MetalScream: A brief on in the second chorus of "The Strays".

* ShoutOut: Damn near every song is one lyrically, but the most notable example might be naming their first album, ''All The Lights In The Sky'' after the second TengenToppaGurrenLagann movie, ''The Lights in the Sky Are Stars''.

They have also created the ending theme for the {{Bravoman}} animated series, titled ''GO!! Fighting Action Power''.

* EpicRocking: '''Definitely''' "Bosozoku Symphonic". It breaks the 5 minute mark and doesn't stop until a full 11 minutes and 11 seconds have passed.

* JapaneseDelinquents: Not they themselves, being British anime nerds and pretty talented musicians, but they reference a sub-culture of such delinquents in the title of the last song on their debut album, "Bosozoku Symphonic"; a [[JapaneseDelinquents bosozoku]] as a sub-culture of Japanese biker gangs known for riding around on loud, extremely customized motorcycles and causing chaos in the streets of Japan.

* LostForever: BLACKLINE/BLACKLINE 「COMPLETE. Well, the songs can still be easily found online, but after being taken down from BandCamp, they can no longer be obtained. By legal methods, at least.

* AlbumTitleDrop: ''All the Lights in the Sky'' appears in the lyrics of "Heaven-Piercing Giga Drill" (although the song predates the album) and the fourth movement of ''Bōsōzoku Symphonic'', which is appropriately titled the same.

* GratuitousJapanese: Japanese is sprinkled throughout several songs, and the first movement of "Bōsōzoku Symphonic", "Ryōkan" being a Japanese poem set to music is [[CaptainObvious entirely in Japanese]].

* ShoutOut: Damn near every song is one lyrically, but the most notable example might be naming their first album, ''All The Lights In The Sky'' after the second TengenToppaGurrenLagann movie, ''The Lights in the Sky Are Stars''

* ElectronicMusic: Due to the electronic outro, the bouncy rhythm and the upbeat tempo, "Tokyo House Party" (from ''All the Lights in the Sky'') is considered to be more a dance music song than a rock song.

* GratuitousJapanese: Japanese is sprinkled throughout several songs, and the first movement of ''Bōsōzoku Symphonic'',''Ryōkan'' being a Japanese poem set to music is [[CaptainObvious entirely in Japanese]].

Area 11 is a Gaijin rock band from Bristol, England, that draws heavy influence from various {{anime}} series. The style of music they play is called "Gaijin Rock", [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly a blend of J-Pop and Western shred rock]], and their attempting to establish this as a [[TropeMaker new, standalone genre]]. The lyrics of said Gaijin Rock songs usually reference the anime they draw influence from. '''However''', unlike [[LeetStreetBoys that other band]], all of the references they make are subtle enough that someone who perhaps ''doesn't'' like anime can listen to them without being scared off. In fact, even the band name is a subtle reference; "Area 11" was the name for Japan in [[CodeGeass Code Geass]].

* EpicRocking: '''Definetely''' "Bosozoku Symphonic". It breaks the 5 minute mark and doesn't stop until a full 11 mintues and 11 seconds have passed.

* OneOfUs: The lyrics of the majority of their songs reference anime (with beautiful subtlety), and they've done a couple of non-album songs that reference video games. They also, on their [[http://www.youtube.com/user/area11band Youtube account]], do [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]], with some of the ones they've done being ''VideoGame/TombRaider'', ''TheWitcher2'' and ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles''.

* [[RealMenWearPink Sparkles*]] (Tom Clarke): Lead vocals, keytar, keyboards, synths, acoustic guitar
* Alex "Parv" Parvis: Guitar, backup vocals
* Jonathan "Kogie" Kogan: Bass guitar, saxophone, backup vocals
* Leo Taylor: Drums, percussions

* Luke Owens: Guitar, backup vocals (left for reasons unknown)
* Tim Yearsley: Bass guitar (left for reasons unknown, though he was possibly only a temporary member)

* PowerBallad: ''Shi no Barado''. It's starts off soft, and then the guitar (played by guitarist Alex "Parv" Parvis) kicks in. And from then on, the rest of the song goes back and forth between the two.
* OneOfUs: The lyrics of the majority of their songs reference anime (with beautiful subtlety), and they've done a couple of non-album songs that reference video games. They also, on their [[http://www.youtube.com/user/area11band Youtube account]], do [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]], with some of the ones they've done being [[TombRaider Tomb Raider]], [[TheWitcher2 The Witcher 2]] and [[ValkyriaChronicles Valkyria Chronicles]].
* [[TheDevTeamThinksofEverything The Band Thinks of Everything]]: Their debut album, in a way, invokes this. It was released on January 31st, 2013. The reason? Add the numbers of the month, day and year that the album was released (0+1+3+1+2+0+1+3) and you get [[TheDevTeamThinksofEverything 11]]. Then their album itself has [[TheDevTeamThinksofEverything 11 songs]], with the last one being [[TheDevTeamThinksofEverything 11 minutes and 11 seconds long]]. The final nail being that they released it at [[TheDevTeamThinksofEverything 11:11 PM]]. These guys are [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] '''GENIUSES'''!
