A little something that caught my eye.

Language: Korean

I have no idea what this band is about or the reasons for their peculiar name, but hey, it's the music that matters right? The first track,안들려 is an upbeat pop rock track, and perhaps a refreshing break from the explosion of auto-tune, though I can't say it's truly original. I do like the bit of energy and the "band" feel. The girls should have a greater part than just a 20 second rap, in my opinion. I thought I was going to hear a mixed-gender group, honestly.

때려줄까요 takes a softer route, a ballad driven by toned down guitars and drums. A bit of strings is mixed in and the girls take part in harmonizing the chorus. Again, nothing too awe-inspiring, but its flows beautifully and ends off in a sweet note.

Here are a couple of random links I uploaded in the past. Thought I'd dump some to add some substance to this post, heh.

▌ Anna Tsuchiya - Rose - One of her most famous for the OP of NANA. I was blown away by this grungy rock song and her whispery voice. Excellent.
download
▌ G.E.M. - Where Did U Go? - If you haven't heard of G.E.M., I suggest you listen to her. A leading voice in Hong Kong, her vocals are so strong and pure. This track is a bit of R&B and acoustic. Recommended.
download
▌ SNoW - NightmaRe - This is an interesting one. Well, she hasn't released anything in the past...whenever, but this is my favorite from her. A tamed rock song, I love the slightly distorted other-worldly background instrumentals.
