Napolean Dynamite
나폴레옹 다이나마이트

Napoleon Dynamite (no, not the movie) are a new Korean indie/pop-rock band and it's there's absolutely no information about them. Although, one thing for sure is that they're AWESOME.

-There are 5 members, 4 guys and 1 girl.
-Their friend is their producer.
-The lead singer, Suh Kang Yoon, has received a lot of attention for looking like Super Junior's Heechul (he really does!).
-Their record label is Mnet Media.
-Their first and latest album, Nuclear Lauch Detected, was released on 12th February 2008.

Their music probably leans more to the pop side, but there's a hint of rock in almost every song. The tunes are very catchy and something you could bop your head to.

I laughed at the name of their group, but I am totally digging the music. The album is really good, even if it is pop-like in sound, but they're just the songs that will be catchy in tune. Good rhythms and the vocals compliment the music <3


I need to dig around for pictures of this group...

actually more like "looks like someone's got the wrong thread..."

but I really REALLY like their 'Why' MV & the lead singer has an awesome voice. I will definitely have to check them out, thanks for posting

Interesting. Usually the girl is the lead singer in rock/modern rock band, but not this one. I gotta check them out.

[Seoshi.love.]

Their song WHY was okay But I can't really find much stuff from them at Youtube ~ they are too new I guess ..

[Raw Sugar]

I just watched the MV to the title track. I like the song a lot. I heard of them but never really payed much attention. Now I'm gonna check out some other songs. (:
