Brand-new Idol Society (also known as BiS, however, is listed under their full name to avoid confusion with the Scottish indiepop group) are a
Japanese alternative metal/pop group that formed in 2010. They are best known for their rebellious "anti-idol"image, including over-the-top sexually
explicit attire (or sometimes none at all), blood splatters in their promo shots and smokingin their promo shots (which, in Japan, is looked down upon
among young "idols"). They are also well known for their uniquesound, which blends sheer pop with heavy metal riffs. One can think of Babymetal for
comparison, only Brand-new Idol Society(or BiS) tend to be a lot more explicit and tongue-in-cheek. The group ended up briefly splitting in 2014, but
reunited in 2016,after only two years apart.
