I’ve been following Neon Bunny‘s career with great interest since the very start. Yet I haven’t seen her perform live a single time. That’s about to change in a week and a half as she’s set to perform at Modern Sky Helsinki on August 29th. With more than four years passed since our first interview… Continue reading

Mini-Interview with Juck Juck Grunzie
Every now and then I come to realize that I have barely even mentioned bands that I thought I would’ve blogged plenty about for years. Juck Juck Grunzie is one such band. Great band, great people, great music. Definitely something to write about. Thanks to Mark Russell Juck Juck Grunzie got a post on IROK… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with POPE X POPE
In 2012 The Hitchhiker released debut album Insatiable Curiosity and got it praised by the music lovers that found it. A few experimental releases later, now known as POPE X POPE, the band successfully finished crowdfunding its first full-length album under the new name. Intriguing material is to be expected for sure, and the same… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with Flash Flood Darlings
I’m always keen to check out whatever music is promoted by YOUNG,GIFTED&WACK. After being featured on the Sangsang Madang Plugged compilation last year, the real hype for Flash Flood Darlings started some time around December with his first digital single and the announcement of a forthcoming album. Vorab and Tesoro was released by YOUNG,GIFTED&WACK in… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with KMA President Chang-nam Kim
When the nominees for the 12th Korean Music Awards were announced a couple of weeks ago it was the first time since 2009 that all-new categories were introduced: Best Folk Album (최우수 포크 – 음반) and Best Folk Song (최우수 포크 – 노래). A few hours earlier a Tumblbug campaign to sponsor this year’s prices… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with Kim Sawol X Kim Haewon
One of the strongest debuts of 2014–to the extent that label applies to collaborating artists that have already been active separately–was that of singer-songwriter duo Kim Sawol X Kim Haewon. EP {비밀} is stunning and stylish in the best possible way. It has this undeniably sexy air that pulls the listener in and makes it… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with Hippie Death Star
There is a special place in my heart reserved for The Plastic Day. The 2009 full-length 30 Seconds Between The Dreamer And The Realist is perhaps the album I’ve bought the most copies of in the hopes of converting friends of mine to fans; and the joint The Plastic Day and Apollo 18 show on… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with Atmo
There are some musicians I trust to always deliver regardless of what new directions they take. Kim Daeinn aka jellyboy is definitely one of them. The first time he teamed up with jellyboy session musicians to make a new band Apollo 18 happened. Now he’s put together a band to bring new life to some… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with Loro’s
The 4th ever official post on Indieful ROK, all the way back in January 2008, was a short notice on the coming release of Loro’s first full-length album. I had been a fan earlier and became even more of a fan with the release–I even named it as one of the top albums of that… Continue reading
Idol Profile: Wagwak
It’s been a couple of years since Wagwak re-located from Seoul to Stockholm, Sweden. The music scene differs quite a bit between the 2 cities–especially when it comes to opportunities to play gigs–but nevertheless there have been the occasional shows. This Saturday, September 13th, it’s time for Wagwak to take on the stage at Bar… Continue reading
