It seems interesting that every Music Show producer seems to have a need for a ranking system. While this allows for a fast (if possibly flawed) gauge of who’s selling there, and makes for interesting watching, the ranking systems do take away from the original purpose of a music show, which is to give music fans a weekly dose of Korean Music, ranging from trot (Hong Jin-young), to K-indie (The Nuts) and some good old idol-group pop in between (Infinite).

I must admit to not knowing much about this K-indie band, apart from the fact that Ji Hyun-Woo (of Invincible Youth 2 and Queen In-hyun’s Man fame) used to be their lead guitarist. The group is worth a further listen, with a nice mix of downbeat songs, and pleasant looking members.
