나폴레옹 다이나마이트

Napoleon Dynamite (no, not the movie) are a new Korean indie/pop-rock band and it's there's absolutely no information about them. Although, one thing for sure is that they're AWESOME.

-There are 5 members, 4 guys and 1 girl.

-Their friend is their producer.

-The lead singer, Suh Kang Yoon, has received a lot of attention for looking like Super Junior's Heechul (he really does!).

-Their record label is Mnet Media.

-Their first and latest album, Nuclear Lauch Detected, was released on 12th February 2008.

Their music probably leans more to the pop side, but there's a hint of rock in almost every song. The tunes are very catchy and something you could bop your head to.

This is their newest MV http://youtube.com/watch?v=E9Cq-rB578M, off from their latest album.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of them >.<

If you do have some, it'll be great if you could post it up!

I laughed at the name of their group, but I am totally digging the music. The album is really good, even if it is pop-like in sound, but they're just the songs that will be catchy in tune. Good rhythms and the vocals compliment the music <3

I need to dig around for pictures of this group...

Interesting. Usually the girl is the lead singer in rock/modern rock band, but not this one. I gotta check them out.

[Seoshi.love.]

Their song WHY was okay But I can't really find much stuff from them at Youtube ~ they are too new I guess ..

[Guest Raw Sugar]

I just watched the MV to the title track. I like the song a lot. I heard of them but never really payed much attention. Now I'm gonna check out some other songs. (:
