K-Indie, nothing I've seen mentioned here amongst the masses of K-Pop, Wondergirls and SNSD. (Yeah they are all K-Pop I know.)

Im sure this defies like 80% of the music taste of Teamliquid, but if I atleast get one or two people interested I will call it success. So ya I'll list some bands that I think are good in the vague genre of Korean Indie, you could say it's more or less bands that aren't well known outside of Korea. (From my observations on Last.fm atleast ._. )


Misty Blue
[image loading]

Pretty amazing band with very soothing songs, their female vocals are really great too. Only one song on youtube though that wasn't Live. :F

+ Show Spoiler [Youtube videos of the group] +





Belle Epoque
[image loading]

A band I kinda recently discovered. It's lead by the bassist of Misty Blue and it's style is kinda similar, the vocals are a bit different though.

+ Show Spoiler [Youtube videos of the group] +




Jellyboy
[image loading]

Somewhat more towards the electronica direction, it is indie none the less.
Really nice sound with a unique sound and style. He has some acoustic-ish songs too, which the second video represents.
+ Show Spoiler [Youtube videos of the group] +






Donawhale
[image loading]

Another band with female vocals and mellow indie rock :D
Even though their name is incredibly weird they are awesome.

+ Show Spoiler [Youtube videos of the group] +

Swallow (스왈로우)
[image loading]

Male Korean Singer-songwriter. The leader of Huckleberry Finn's (Korean Rock group) solo project.
In my opinion really great music with male vocals for a change. All the songs on youtube were live though, but the soundquality is still good. The first video is my favourite song from him.

+ Show Spoiler [Youtube videos of the group] +

Mot
[image loading]

Had to add this band too, since they have my favourite korean song of all time probably. Enjoy.
+ Show Spoiler [Youtube videos of the group] +




Mongoose
[image loading]

These guys are hilarious and good, korean indie synthpop. How awesome isn't that.
The keyboard singer looks somewhat funky :D. Kinda like a fruity FBH ô.O.

+ Show Spoiler [Youtube videos of the group] +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBE3j-hUKnA



So well, there we are, a small selection from all the great Korean indie artists that are out there.

*edit* added spoilertag around the videos, maybe ease up the layout a bit *edit*

Yeah I know Peppertones, they have a good premise but their vocals kinda ruin it, I don't like the way she sings. :3

Had a quick listen to Love&Pop now too, it sounds pretty good
