Bottom Feeders
|
“
|
A new band called the Bottom Feeders has been tearing up the Inkopolis charts lately. The band is fronted by a tropical-betta-fish violinist, features vocals by a dude made of seaweed, and also includes a shark, a scallop, and a globefish. Their unforgiving yet catchy music style is the product of fusing ancient Celtic sea shanties with punk rock.

Ink Theory
|
“
|
This classically trained, all-female 6-piece band creates jazz and samba-inspired battle music. They owe their unique sound to a blend of academic music theory and modern sensibilities. Ink Theory's eclectic approach makes them quite popular with young Inklings and middle-aged Inklings alike.

No Squid Research Description
|
ω-3 play a combination of cello, timpani, synthesizer, and percussion used by the DJ. They rarely use common time (4/4), and odd sound effects are thrown into some pieces, creating a feeling of confusion and disorientation.

Turquoise October
|
No Squid Research description
|
Similarly to their music in Splatoon, their music focuses heavily on sampling and pitch-shifting of sound effects, possibly Octarian. However, in Splatoon 2, they incorporate guitar sections much more frequently and drop the frequent references to chiptune in their music. Certain sound effects from the first game, such as the burping sound effect from Cephaloparade, return. Genres include electronic, dance and breakcore.

Dedf1sh
|
“
|
Everyone, meet Dedf1sh. Previously a promising, up and coming DJ, her pursuit of breakbeat perfection eventually led her to a subterranean test facility, where she was "sanitized." Though little of her former self remains, she continues crafting DJ delicacies, and the halls of the test facility echo with her bumping tracks to this very day.
|
”
|
|
|
Dedf1sh focuses heavily on the vaporwave and lo-fi genre as well as incorporating elements of rock, EDM, funk, rap, ska and dance. Elements of breakcore can be heard in Splattack! (Octo). Her music is heard throughout the Octo Expansion.

Diss-Pair
|
“
|
Meet Diss-Pair, the odd-couple duo delivering discordant ditties that have turned the music scene upside down. The group is made up of Ikkan, former bassist of the world-renowned Squid Squad, and Warabi, the up-and-coming prodigy beatsmith. These two are a mismatch made in heaven. When crafting new songs in the studio, they avoid each other at all costs to ensure each track maintains its one-of-a-kind edge and tantalizing tension.
|
”
|
|
|
Diss-Pair's music is a mix between heavy metal and EDM. Their music is therefore a fusion of heavy metal riffs backed by deep, husky vocals and electric, funky synthesiser beats, often alternating back and forth between the two genres.

SashiMori
|
“
|
SashiMori are part of the rising tide of new bands emerging in this post Inklings vs. Octolings world we find ourselves in. They were originally a wall-of-sound style hard rock band, but decided to ditch their domineering singer. Now, the remaining three members—a carp, a cutlassfish, and a scaly-foot—have recruited a 10 year old Octoling DJ (a true genius on the wheels of steel), to form a new band with a new sound, for a new generation.
|
”
|
|
|
SashiMori play hard rock with elements from hip-hop, featuring record-scratching, electronic elements and vocals sampled from ancient records, implied to be human records.
