In an industry full of insane choreography and glamour, there's a fair share of groups who go away from the typical K-Pop group pattern. These groups play their own instruments and deliver a great mixture of K-Pop, indie, rock n roll, and even rap. While they tend to skip out on the choreography, they still give iconic glamor in their songs. These K-Bands are the best of the best and here are the songs you should know!
1. Shoot Me - Day6
As far as K-Bands go, these guys are probably the most iconic. Formed by JYP Entertainment and debuting in 2015, these guys have had a lot of time to make a name for themselves. Shoot Me is their most popular song but not without reason. It features some chill verses that build nicely to the explosive and insanely catchy chorus. The instrumentals are very smooth and their vocals are on point. There isn't a K-Pop that doesn't know this song and you can see why.

2. Red - The Rose
Red is what you get when you cross emotional vocals, an instrumental made for driving around with your windows down, and an indie flair. The Rose have been delivering their unique charms since 2017. Even though their discography is small, it's mighty. Woosung's vocals are unique enough and they really set them apart from other groups. Red is a go-to tune for all indie-lovers!

3. End of Spring - ONEWE
Onewe knew what they were doing when they made End Of Sping. It's got the mixture of EDM instrumentals that feel reminiscent of other K-Pop groups with their insane vocals and sweet guitar melodies. It's an earworm that still remains in the heads of K-Pop stans even though it came out well over a year ago. This song is was made for your next party but be careful because it will get stuck in your head!

4. Eden - IZ
This is an unappreciated bop for sure but it's definitely among the best of the best when it comes to K-band songs. IZ blends a mixture of pop-punk riffs, catchy chants, and J-rock vibes to give us Eden. If you want operatic vocals with your head-banging tunes, this song is not to be missed out on.

5. Snooze - Lucy
It's no surprise Lucy made it on this post as they have been a long favorite on this blog. Their blend of indie-pop with some classical elements like a violin is seen in this song, Snooze. It's a great introduction to Lucy as you hear their beautiful vocal melodies and a beautiful violin solo combined into one. When you listen it's almost hard to believe this group debuted and released this song last year. It's perfect for an end-of-summer vibe.

6. Enough - Hoppípolla
Hoppípolla is in the same vein as Lucy. They combine classical elements with their traditional band instrumentation. This time though, these guys get e-mot-ion-al. Their vocals are soft and delicate over an instrumental that features an acoustic guitar and soft cello. Their music is good for a chill moment or when you just need a good cry.

It's got the earworm chorus and a head-bop beat to make you dance. It is a good song for a party or even if you're just chilling. N.Flying concocted the perfect recipe for a great song.
