A band that formed in 1986 and kept an energetic style through lineup changes and nine studio albums.
For their early hit, 'Ban! Ban! Bang!' still carries that debut energy. Later tracks like 'Natsu Hanabi 17 Sai' show how they kept the style going.
They landed with 'Ban! Ban! Bang!' in 1988, a track that became widely popular in Korea and stayed recognizable in Korean rock. Their debut album 'The Punch' introduced that sound, and they kept recording material like 'Natsu Hanabi 17 Sai' and 'Happy Life' for an audience that appreciated their energy. The work from the late 80s onward found its place without losing that initial punch.
175R formed in 1986 with Kim Gun-mo on vocals, and their debut 'The Punch' came out in 1988. Kim Gun-mo left in 1994 to work solo, and Han Kyung-il joined as the new vocalist, with the band putting out nine studio albums between 1988 and 2005. The lineup saw changes over time, but Kang Hyung-wook and Kwon Ki-chang remained from the start.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
