Oriental garage band Eastern Sidekick (ESK) introduces their first regular album. Some might think of their lyrics as dry and unfriendly, but it is the indifference hidden in the energy that defines the band. Ever since their debut single album, ‘The City of Black & White Cartoon’, ESK has been active with their live performances near Hongdae, Seoul Korea. The band has proven its potential by being awarded multiple times as a notable rookie band, and the members will continue their progress in assimilating Western rock with Oriental lyricism. This new album is not so fancy, but still contains the unique energy of the band. The tracks range from fast tunes with hard beats to mellow songs with breezy rhythms. The band members humbly describe their music as ‘not too groundbreaking,’ but there is something unique about the sound of this band that will refresh and attract those who listen to it.
