A weekly podcast focused on the independent Korean music scene outside of Seoul. This week I preview shows happening in Busan, with new music from Daegu band The Plums, and Busan’s Rapplekopf. 

Rapplekopf released their first EP 극 on the 20th of this month. They’ll hold a release show at Realize next week, while this week at Realize you can catch 3 Japanese bands in the first Fukuoka music exchange of 2019. One of those bands, Make The Pancake, make the trip over from Saga, and I play you their song Pop Kills Pop, which is stuck in my head since first listen. 

There are a lot of shows around Busan, with a free show at HQ on Friday night, a reggae festival at Node, and a stripped back set from Bathing Belles at Home cafe and bistro. There are so many more that I’m missing out on this week because I haven’t had enough time. This is the first time the podcast has gone out late since it started again, but I promise that all the things I’m working on will be worth it. I should be able to share all the news about it over the next few weeks.

Changwon based act mcthfg released new album When You Awake at the start of this month, and I kick the show off with a track from that album. There’s also new sounds from Daegu acts Hi Elisa and Ashtray. Hi Elisa have a busy weekend, playing at Club Heavy in Daegu, and also making it to Yongsoro Fest in Busan.
