Brave Guys - Profile

(Disclaimer - I know Brave Guys is not an indie band, nor are they full-time music artistes, but they have REAL talent, and I really enjoy their songs. It is a pity not many people knew they released an album...)




Brave Guys started out as a segment on Gag Concert, only to gain increasing popularity with the general public as the progress on to charm them not only with their humour, but with their music as well. Although the songs created were meant to be parodies at first (ie I Don Care), they became hit songs, and this pushed the four-member team to fund a record of their own. With the release of their first (and last) album, AtoZ, Brave Guys left their impact on the Korean music industry, not as comedians, but as musicians.

I really really really want them to come out with another album... Even if you are skeptical of them because they are comedians, do give them a shot and I promise you you will NOT be disappointed. And Shin Bora's vocals are not to be messed with.
