Seriously, another boy group? This time it’s Serious!
Seriously, another group? Wait, hold on a sec - if you were going to lump them with the rest of the rookies that have debuted this year, take em out again because Seriously the band (yes, that's their name) is anything but your typical set of KPOP idols. In fact, these guys stand out because they're based in the States and write their own music. That's right, we're taking a quick breather from the homeland and the KPOP world to hone in on a talented Asian-American band instead!
Meet Chris, Joshua, Nathan and Philip, the faces behind this indie rock quartet. Hailing from Diamond Bar, California, the four began playing together at their local Asian church to eventually create the band as we know it today. Of course, that was only the beginning - the foursome joined Kollaboration 2006 and promptly bagged the hearts of many new fans plus the grand prize, hooking the boys up with Chaos Theory Music, an indie label that launched their first music video, "Irony." Check the MV out, it's kind of really adorable:
You've gotta love how Seriously maintains an eclectic style - they take inspiration from Asian pop music, mix it with American rock and throw in some melancholy European pop feel... so it's kind of like taking your favorite KPOP artist's beats, spicing it up with some rock & roll, then sugar-coating it with Coldplay-esque brit-pop for some pretty awesome ear candy.
Keep an eye out for these guys on allkpop because we're bringing you an exclusive continuous series on the fab four! With a group so seriously awesome, they're going nowhere but up!
