한국에 관심 있는 모두를 위한 공간 / Space for everyone interested in everything Korean
Commenting on this old thread because I actually have some insight for you. There is a decent amount of original rock/punk/metal Korean music, but most of it is performed in English. But that style of music just isn't as popular in Korea. I spent several months in Korea last year and it wasn't easy to find local rock music at first.
Two bands off the top of my head that do perform in Korean are Method (metal) and Harry Big Button (hard rock).
Thank you for commenting. I had forgotten I wrote this post, but I still occasionally try to see if there are any new breakthrough artists and I don't think I have come across neither of those.
The one band I knew was Cherry Filter, which seems to have been quite successful, but sadly there hasn't been more in that vein.
Cherry Filter is one that I hadn't heard before, I'll have to add them into my playlists.
If you're interested in diving further, the method that's worked the best for me is to find a venue that plays at least close to the style of music and then just search up each band that they advertise to see how they sound. Then when I find a band I see what venues they advertise that they will be playing at. Most of it seems to be available on instagram.
For a good start, I'd look at Club AOR's Insta and go from there.
Happy Hunting!
Thank you so much! I have never needed to look into small and underground indie bands, so I had no idea how to find them even here. Just finding Club All of Rock and LIVE&LOUD Music Company immediately yielded interesting results.
