Their music video is coming out soon!!!
* I'll keep an update on them, so please support!

-Seriously-

Well, they are basically a new asian american band, and I feel like introducing them to you guys because i personally like some of their songs( I LOVE their song, "Dare I Say" check it out!) and they are Asian American. You know how hard it is for Asian Americans to make it in the U.S. industry, right? I think we should show our support if we like their music. I actually saw them at the Hollywood Bowl for the Korean Concert May 5th singing at the side stage. smile.gif


The band consists of:
Alex Yi (Guitar) {left the band}
Christopher Pham (Lead Vocals, Guitar)
Philip Park (Drummer)
Joshua Baek (Bassist)




They are pretty good, though there's alway room for improvement IMO. smile.gif
We need more Asian American bands out there! Show your support if you like them. Buy their album! Don't illegally download! (support them because you think they are good, NOT just because they are "asian" please! lol. Cuz that would be an uncool reason to do so. And no, illegally downloading their music even though you love it isn't a way of showing your support)

Here's their myspace (with a clip of one of their songs): http://www.myspace.com/seriouslytheband

I personally love the singer's voice. He sounds all american and I like that! lol.


They have this whole thing where one of their friends made 10 episode videos showing the process they go through to make their band, "Seriously."
Watch it if you are interested in getting to know the guys:

^ they explained it in "the making of seriously"
basically, there's this guy that they knew that kept on saying "seriously" and they thought that it was soo annoying!
so they ended up naming their band Seriously for a contest/performance just for fun..., but they HAD no idea that they were going to win the contest, and now they're stuck with that name forever... lol

I seriously couldn't bare watching the rest of the video clips of the making "seriously."

Their image is so not unique and so are their songs. They remind me of the All- American Rejects and Switchfoot.
They need something fresh. Anyways, I wish them all well with their career.

I think I was a bit harsh. I just want them to succeed. I'll still support them. smile.gif

I never heard of them before, but when I go home I'll go listen to some of their songs. I like how they wear suits though, maybe they should make that their trademark or something. Lol good luck to them

alex didn't leave because of a clash with his band-member - he felt that his education was of a higher priority, and left to pursue just that.

Bump?

They're pretty good. I like their style. biggrin.gif
No screaming. biggrin.gif (Screaming is good, but not for this type of music. XDDD)
I hope they make it big enough to be popular in the underground world. And I might want them to go mainstream! O_O
I wish them the best luck.
