Biography:

When female indie rock band D.O.T released their first single in 2007, I was still new to the underground/indie rock artists of Korea. Since I didn’t know how to research much then, I thought the band was inactive. Quite honestly, I wasn’t into them as much either. Well, lo and behold, they dropped their first full album late last November and I was ecstatic! It’s always nice to hear a group or band you’ve thought dropped off the face of the earth (for any reasons) to suddenly appear again, right?

They are under the same company as artists like Jaurim, Monni, Super Kidd and Go Go Boys. With their first album “Candid Breath”, you can hear that soft rock feel that makes D.O.T’s music appealing. The jazzy colorful feel of their songs are very charismatic and tempting. The first half of the album are the newer tracks, which are more soft rock ballads while the latter half of the album consists of the upbeat and sweet tracks from their first single. Surprisingly, I am more attracted to the songs from the first single as they are more bubbly and pleasing to the ears. D.O.T is currently on radio shows and participating in small concerts.
