NAHT was a post-hardcore/pop-punk band from Tokyo that formed in . The band formed out of some hardcore bands in the area like God’s Guts and Volume Dealers. They started relatively early on in their career (fall of ) opening for seminal Washington, D.C. post-hardcore act Fugazi when they came to Japan, and would go on to play alongside and work with many other Dischord Records acts. Outside of Japan, NAHT’s influence was rather limited, but within Japan, they had considerable influence in the development of post-hardcore and the popification (or pop-punkification) of it. NAHT are here labelled with the “midwest emo” genre, but it should be noted that NAHT arrived at their kind of fusion between post-hardcore and indie rock (and pop-punk, in this case) independently of American acts like Sunny Day Real Estate and Jimmy Eat World. NAHT’s primary influences were bands like Fugazi and Drive Like Jehu (and perhaps also Rocket from the Crypt!), and the sounds that NAHT came up with are not to be confused with those of their American counterparts. It is likely that if you are listening to a Japanese post-hardcore (including math rock) band, that band owes some of their influence and overall sound to NAHT (and/or to Envy, in the case of screamo!).

See the Japanese Wikipedia article on the band for more information.
