Two Koreas

Toronto’s both Koreas play urgent, brittle-sounding indie rock and roll that’s earned them frequent evaluations towards the Fall, although bandmembers possess their own tongue-in-cheek explanation of their audio: “glacial garage area,” which obviously will be “garage area rock and roll encased in ice, flawlessly preserved in its most primal condition for future decades of children to review.” If smart banter comes simple to both Koreas, there’s reasonable: vocalist Stuart Berman, guitarist Kieran Give, and keyboard guy Jason Anderson all reveal music and film for a number of Canadian magazines, though bassist Ian Worang and drummer David Gee are in any other case employed in additional fields. BOTH Koreas shaped in 2004, and became a regular existence on Toronto’s underground picture by enough time they cut their 1st album, 2005’s Primary Plates and Basic Pies. The music group came back in 2007 using its second recording, Altruists, and a set of live-in-the-studio sessions documented for XM Satellite television Radio had been released in 2008 as the EP Classes. BOTH Koreas’ future appeared doubtful in ’09 2009 when guitarist Give was hospitalized having a serious case of ulcerative colitis. Luckily, Give responded well to medical procedures and treatment, and this year 2010 both Koreas went in to the studio room with maker Jon Drew to record their third recording. Science Island premiered by Randy Vicar Information (in colaboration with the mentioned Canadian indie label Last Gang) in March 2011.
