1905 is a band from Seoul, South Korea, with four members: Jongwoo on vocals and guitar, Jungwon on bass and vocals, Sihun on drums and vocals, and Taeyoon on keyboards and vocals. They've put out albums like The Dawn of the Innocent in 2014, A Long Way from Home in 2016, The Red Book in 2019, and Oddinary in 2022.
Their song You're Wrong, from 2013, got attention for lyrics that criticized corruption and social injustice, which stirred some debate in Korea. Other tracks like Side by Side and For Sale show their mix of rock, hip-hop, and Korean sounds, though they don't fit neatly into one genre.
They've built a following with music that leans into social themes and an experimental style, without much concern for fitting mainstream expectations. Their work tends to speak directly to listeners who appreciate that approach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
