Korean indie: Love X Stereo

The background of Korean indie rock/pop band Love X Stereo is a rather winding way to todays trio consisting of Tobie, Annie and Sol. The sound isn't what you would expect from a Korean band(or would you? It all depends ofc...) with english lyrics and a western sound in the non-kpop sense.

• Love X Stereo - Storm
• Love X Stereo - Fly Over
• Love X Stereo - Soul City (Seoul City)

Jpop: Luna Sea

Luna Sea were something of forerunners in the japanese visual kei/darkwave movement. They played 1986 - 2000, and then reunited in the late 00's and are now planning a new album for this year. The more metal sounding End of the Dream was released last month, but please go back and listen to the back catalog. Makes me think of Sisters of Mercy and the like, which is quite nice.
