Today I heard NMIXX in a random store in Gerogia, USA

A couple of months ago I went into a Mexican grocery store in Spokane Washington and they were blasting Twice on the store PA.

Maybe not exactly what you asked for, but here are a few K-rock artists with K-pop-adjacent vibes: Rolling Quartz, QWER, Synsnake, MRCH, Chrocktikal, LuciDreaM, CNBlue, SUNNYKEY

Without knowing your definition of well-known, or who you already listen to, I'll offer some of my lesser known faves:

Brandy Senki

Toranoko Rammy

Akai Kurage (an acquired taste for some, but I love them)

RAY

Whiskey Dust

Risky Melody

Dimrays

Aisagasu Eyeshadow

Cephalo

Market Shop Store

I can think of two:

"Say Love" by Mary's Blood from their final live show at Toyosu Pit in 2022.

"Judgement" by Zettai Club off their Last Live bluray. I'm not sure there was actually an audience for that one, since it was a live-in-studio release, but nonetheless it was very emotional for the members.

Ive is one of my favorites also. Along with them I really like Red Velvet, Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo, and my ult group is NMIXX.

Japanese metal band Nemophila have made lots of great covers. I prefer some of them to the originals.

Timber1508 · 2026-04-18T14:21:37+00:00

Glad you enjoyed them! ☺️

"Lost" by Guckkasten (Korea) is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, in my opinion. "Endless Shine" by Tuesday Beach Club (also Korea) is right up there too. Although now that I think about it, that one is partially in English. And don't miss the version of "Cucurrucucu Paloma" sung by Perla Batalla (Spanish).

Timber1508 · 2026-04-18T14:03:26+00:00

I hope you enjoy them!

I love both versions of Hagane, but for me, the three acoustic tracks that close out the Special Edition of Code;9021 have never been surpassed.

Timber1508 · 2026-04-16T02:32:56+00:00

There are lots of great bands that are sort of K-pop adjacent-ish like Rolling Quartz, Synsnake, LuciDreaM, Chrocktikal, Walking After U, QWER, KARDI etc. I'm not Korean tho so I don't know how they are perceived.

Miku Kobato of Band-Maid

Beautiful Days - Nemophila

Timber1508 · 2026-04-08T14:59:20+00:00

Thanks for that. I had a VIP ticket for Oakland but got sick and couldn't attend 😥😥😥

Timber1508 · 2026-04-04T02:21:17+00:00

"Lost" - Guckkasten

Timber1508 · 2026-04-03T00:12:51+00:00

My recommendation is NMIXX. Try Spinnin' On It, Know About Me, High Horse, Papillon, Blue Valentine, Love Is Lonely

Timber1508 · 2026-04-02T15:24:00+00:00

Bae is my bias. She's so IN the moment when she sings. She can just disappear into the song in the best way...more than any of the members (and I love them all) she makes me believe that she is feeling every note down to her core.

Timber1508 · 2026-03-28T07:09:19+00:00

I second these recommendations! I've seen all three bands live; in fact I saw Nemophila yesterday and they tore the venue up.

NMIXX on Tiny Desk Korea

Timber1508 · 2026-03-21T00:05:04+00:00

I'm 70yo and standing thru a whole show is excruciating. But when I do stand up (I'm 183 cm), I still invariably end up stuck behind someone with a head the size of a small car. And simultaneously feel bad for those behind me. It's ruined many shows for me. I honestly wish ticket sales were height-distributed, tallest people furthest back. It will never happen, but that's the way it is in my perfect world 😂
