Wanna say this is the most well inherited, not just the traditional since they are not just stuck to the "TRADITION". My sincere appreciation for their endless efforts.

Kexp 에서 가야금 대금소리를 신명나게 듣다니
씽씽밴드 이후에 kexp에서 간만에 k밴드네요.

[FixNewsPlease]

Imagine the faces on their ancestors could they hear how these instruments sound today. I guess the same could be said of any instrument, but I have never heard these sounds other than in traditional settings.

[majordendrocopos]

I like it a lot! Heavy sheng solo, baby…….

[jahmoh]

Majestueux, sortir un tel son avec des instruments si traditionnels j'adore ✌

[Baribrotzer]

This kicks ass!
Perhaps what they do could be seen as a gimmick - playing rock on traditional Korean instruments. But the music rocks, and they can play the crap out of those instruments. Reminds me a bit of Jambinai, who do something conceptually similar but more metal-oriented, and add conventional guitar, bass, and drums to Korean/Chinese two-string violin, reedpipe, and that koto-like instrument. These guys play it a bit more purist, but it rocks just as much.
