My passion for Korean music started in the early 00's and has blossomed into what some might call obsession, but I just call strong passion. I have dedicated a lot of my life to spreading the word of Korean indie and rock music to the world, and Rock 'N Seoul is my dream project.
One of my favorite surprise performances last year at Zandari Feseta was catching Wings of the Isangs’ set. I had them on my radar for awhile before this, and was super excited that I managed to see them live. Wings of the Isang are one of those bands that can manage to get you to … More Jenna Recommends – Wings of the Isang

It’s that time again, friends. SXSW is upon us. With only a month left before things get under way, it seems like final line-up announcements for Korean acts have come out. (You never know, they DID just drop Miyavi on us from Japan this week.) But the showcase dates are being announced … More SXSW 2017 – Preview
**Editors’ note: This piece was written by Sohn Jeong-Eun, a guest writer we met while in Seoul for Zandari Festa. She’s been kind enough to share her interview with the fabulous Ooberfuse with us. From here on out – it’s all Jeong-Eun’s writing. In the middle of August, I got an email from Haydn West, … More Zandari Festa Special: Interview With Ooberfuse
Korean punk rock legends, No Brain just finished a quick stop in Dallas last weekend, and this week they’re gracing us with new music! The song in the video is off of their upcoming 20th Anniversary album. Hard to believe it’s been 20 years of No Brain already – I’ve been around for a little … More No Brain – You’re My Everything
[10-3-16] Zandari Festa Day 3 was an insane whirlwind of bands for me. I somehow managed to catch 12 bands. This wasn’t the ideal way to experience some of these bands, but I took an approach to this festival with the idea that some of these bands might never make it to the States for … More Zandari Festa: Day 3
Sometimes a band needs their own review, and if ever there was one, Biuret is it. Technically, this took place on Day 2 of Zandari, but I had more to say about this performance, so they get their own post. I’ve mentioned before, that I’ve been a fan for Biuret for about 10 years now, … More Zandari Festa: Biuret
[10-2-16] Thankfully, on day 2 of Zandari Festa, I managed to shake off my illness and exhaustion of the previous day and was able to jump straight into the first show of the night with a fresh mind. First act of the night was Dead Buttons over at Yes24 MUV Hall again. Love this venue, … More Zandari Festa: Day 2
I’m home, recovered from jet lag, and finally able to recall what happened on my trip to Korea. We’ll keep the RnS posts limited to all the awesome live music I saw though – and maybe a short guide on where I was able to find live music! But for now – here’s the first … More Zandari Fest: Opening Party & Day 1
Last week I was trolling around online and stumbled across this little indie Chinese band, Schrödingers Cat. And we all know that I love post-hardcore music and shoegaze, so the second I heard them start to play, I basically fell in love. It’s not a music video, but it is the audio from one of their … More [Out of the Box] Schrödingers Cat -閉上眼的大樹
