Found a tribute series to Yoo Jaeha by a number of bands :  

They are all new to me, they're more jazzy I think?

odaesan said: No Brain is somewhat well-known. Pia is well-known. TRAX definitely is not underground. TRAX was designed to take over the J-Rock fanbase.

I'm not sure how I feel about Guckkasten's greater exposure to mainstream in such a short time. I don't think that they are being appreciated for their music so much.

[Guest OrionK]

Hello!! Name is Orion Kim! I sing and play guitar in a rocknroll band called NoWater! We just finished recording at Admiral Studios and fixing to bring out our new EP, "Up to Speed"! Currently NoWater has a self titled album out of course called, "NoWater"! (Listen here) 
Although we have our moment of repeats, I like to just cut right in to it. We take short cuts and configure our songs to be innovative, active and in a sense, sugary. Above all it is straight forward RocknRoll from the 21st century. Our influences are The Jimi Hendrix Experience, hide with Spread Beaver, Nine Inch Nails, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Psychotic reaction, Michael Jackson  
Honestly other than Super Kidd, there are not to many good Korean rock bands. Id thought since Im Korean I should post here and get some support/help from some family. Even if its just music, Id like to expand our culture with rocknroll in America.
Here are links to my projectsNoWaterhttps://www.facebook.com/NoWater

Di eMTy is a interesting one. It is my solo project I created this year that steps outside of Rock and I just experiment and expand what I can play. While doing this I found out you can make songs sing its own song. Its freaky but really cool. I created 5 tracks so far but only recorded 2. Ghostn is the first of its kind and has a neat 80's vibe to it. 'Some Tsunami Sexthing' is just a bouncin instrumental. Im calling Di eMTy first generation Talking Music. Im sure once I finish all my tracks someone is going to do it better than me! =D
