K-RoK Song of the Day: Pt:5 No Brain - You're Stuck On Me (feat. Tiger JK)

Today's choice is the premiere punk band of Korea - No Brain. I think they paved the way for a lot of the newer punk bands that are popping up around the RoK. This song was kind of their break out song. It features Tiger JK on the album track, for whatever reason, the video does NOT. I, of course prefer the album version since I'm also a Tiger JK fan. :) Other people might no like Sung-Woo's voice. It's a bit on the rough side, I will admit, but I adore him anyway. They've been on a bit of a hiatus lately, and since the news on Korean rockers is undoubtedly hard to come by I'm not sure why. I always tend to assume that it means some of the members are currently serving their term in the armed forces. They did put out a song on this summers Into The K-League though, so I have high hopes that they come back soon! :) You should also check out the movie Radio Star in which the whole band play a part.


Without further ado, I give you No Brain (feat. Tiger JK) with  You're Stuck On Me
From their 2005 album: Boys, Be Ambitious

K-RoK Song of the Day: Pt:2 TransFixion - Never Say Goodbye

I'm going to post another recent release. This time, the newest single/video from TransFixion. A band that has been around for 10 years now, they've continued to transform themselves and keep up with the ever changing face of rock, without losing their original flavor. I love their punk feel, but they know how to mix things up. That's what I love about Korean rock -they don't put out an album that sounds like the same song just with different lyrics. You all might recognize them from this summer - they put out a re-vamped version of their Shouts Of Reds song for this summers World Cup. And no, the lead singer is not foreign. Sometimes even Korean's are fooled and they even think the band is foreign, but these guys are just another little Korean jem! Enjoy!




Also, if you don't want to watch the video here is the song on it's own:

K-RoK Song of the Day: Pt. 1: Yellow Monsters - Late

I'm still working on my YB post - it's taking longer because I have so much love for/information on them I want to do it properly. But, I also have people asking for new songs. So, here goes.

Yellow Monsters debuted this year. I first heard them on a compilation album from this summer and was immediately intrigued. They have a good range of sound on the debut album, ranging from punk to emo and basically, just a lot of awesome rockness. :) Here is their debut single: Late


 I'll try this out - just posting a snippet of info and  a song daily, then do reviews/profiles when I can. Does that sound good? What say, good K-RoKers?
