Ganbaru (lit., stand firm), is a ubiquitous Japanese word which roughly means to slog on tenaciously through tough times. Often translated to mean “doing one’s best”, but in practice, it means doing more than one’s best. The word emphasizes “working with perseverance” or “toughing it out.” Ganbaru means “to commit oneself fully to a task and to bring that task to an end.” It can be translated to mean persistence, tenacity, doggedness and hard work.” If there is one band that would embody the ‘never say die’ attitude that the Japanese word GANBARU evokes, it would be the Melbourne, Australia melodic hardcore band of the same name. In the past 2 years since their last release, GANBARU have been tested on every level. Be it legal challenges, tour car crashes, member changes and multitudes of other setbacks, GANBARU have never come close to throwing in the towel.
