Jeff (…Whatever That Means)
SPB: Your lineup features members from multiple countries. Who is an overlooked/influential punk band you’d like to shout out from each of your home countries?
Jeff: Like you said, besides the members who were born and raised here in Korea, we have members from the US, and Poland, but we’ve all lived in Korea for pretty much our entire adult lives, so it’s really hard to look so far back and say who the overlooked bands are from the countries where we were born.
Here in Korea, there are definitely some bands that aren’t well-known abroad that made huge impacts on the Korean scene. There are a few bands that really helped establish the punk scene in the late ‘90s/early 2000s, and …Whatever That Means probably wouldn’t exist without them. I’d love to see people look up some old school Korean punk bands like Suck Stuff, Rux, 99Anger, and Burning Hepburn.
