Biography:

An appealing voice, exceptional skills and armed with a heavy new sound, alternative rock band Yellow City released their first single album on April 2. Yellow City consists of vocalist Jang Hyun Joon, Japanese drummer Yamato Shimizu, guitarist Ji Min Gi and female bassist Kim Hyun Ji. Their five track single album consists of three vocal tracks and two instrumental tracks. Three music videos accompany the single, each displaying a different feel to each unique song. The powerful vocal and energetic live drum give off a soothing and mellow ambiance.

Yellow City lists their influences as Oasis, ColdPlay, Beatles, U2, and Sigur Ros and their musical genre as ‘British-pop alternative.’ Band Soul Summit’s leader and guitarist helped to produce their single, making it even more bold and expressive as it already is.

Their first radio program appearance is set for KBS Chuncheon’s “Musical Journey” on April 13 at 6PM.

About:

“Under the Radar” is a special monthly column where underrated Korean artists are featured. Artists are chosen based on a few criterias like popularity, activeness, and availabilty of information.

The rotation goes as: male solo, female solo, male group, female group and mixed group. If a certain month has five Saturdays, two artists will be featured. If so, the first artist is a veteran artist (debuting at least one year or more) and then follows a rookie artist (debuting less than a year.) Under some circumstances (i.e. it becomes too difficult to find an artist under these criterias), the rotation and type of artist is subject to change without notice.
