Punk Rock is Punk Rock regardless of where in the world they are keep fighting the good fight girls and Erin good job on this interview 😎
Thank you!
@@ErinMicklow anytime keep being you Erin you're a amazing woman 😁❤️
Met them a Rebellion, they were super friendly, nice people.
WOW! Touring can be grueling, but touring extensively in countries when you have a limited command of the language has to especially challenging! Hats off to the RUMKICKS! You ladies RAWK! 🤘
Absolutely love these girls saw them In Birmingham on this tour can’t wait to them to come back. Brilliant interview as always Erin 😃😃😃😃😃🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thank you!!!
suggested that you interviewed Rumkicks and so great that you did it was a great interview. The first I have seen with Rumkicks which is a bonus and they really came across like their music, instantly loveable full of their personalities.
Yes! Thanks for watching! Would appreciate if you gave the video a share! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
I feel you did a good job, with there limited english, you kept the con ersation going by inputing your comments and ideas about women in punk and encouraged more interaction. You all rocked it
Thank you!
YESSS! I was waiting for this. 😌
they are super cool! great interview. I hope they keep rocking .
I think they are a great band and deserve a lot of respect just for being brave and different. I have loved them since Old Mr. B introduced me to them (figuratively :p ) . We are talikng about South Korea here ... the land of pop. Rolling Quartz had trouble getting people to accept K-Rock and even now the home market for them is smaller than the international one. I was really happy to see Rumkicks play on an international tour. I really hope these girls gain a big following.
Really important sticker on Yewons guitar - "Sex Offender's music, do not buy, do not sell".
Don't ever listen to criticism from anyone Rumkicks.You know what you are doing is cool as fuck. Keep rockin and having fun.
Hola Erin, que buena entrevista, emepece a escuchar a estas chicas gracias a esta entrevista, suenan genial. VIVA EL PUNK ROCK!!!!
Thanks for doing this interview! Very insightful! These talented ladies will reignite Punk Rock internationally!!!!
It's just a shame they can't get more recognition in their own country. They don't even have a record deal. They publish their music digitally on bandcamp
South Korea is a Country that walks the line between very Conservative thinking and actions, and being cutting edge on technologies, music, and mindset…to say the Rumkicks evoke strong reaction one way or the other would be an understatement I think!
I like this band.
All 4 of you gals are rocking!
I just subbed
Don't lose your way girls fuck the world
Rumkicks=Punk!!!!
Thanks
Oh....
한국 여성 펑크 락 밴드군요😳😳😳

i love dorothy more than all the girls in blackpink combined
I like Toshi's expressions while everyone is talking.
😂
awesome interview
🙏🤘
The only notes that really count, are the ones that come in wads...
Anyone ever see that Korean drummer Ami?! Looks like butter wouldn’t melt, but holy hell 😅
Punk. Is not dead
🤘❤️
4:20 When you know you’ve somehow woken up in a parallel universe!
😂🤣💀
Pretty Punk. The music, not the band.i enjoyed a "koncert" of theirs with a different lineup on youtube.
La vocalista se defiende bien en inglés
Rumkicks kick arse cool band
Who gives a fuck what they look or dress like. They're a bloody good band, good catchy songs. Lets face it, after December 76 and Grundy punk became just a sub genre of rock. Go for it ladies, we love you. Punk is in your head.
Cool band
Lindas chicas, la rockean
🤘
Nice
Cool
🤘

Wendy O Williams was hot. No body questions her.
I love the way Erin dresses, never fails to make me twitch! 😍
😚🙏

Brodie dale from The Distillers watch this
as long as you're real punks and not just playing an act to call attention or act the part as some people do (as this culture is sadly very poluted with what's called posers) it doesn't makes any difference if you are man or woman. You are human, you're a punk, that's it. And it's good to keep having street punk styled punks out there as that part of our culture is losing more and more as time goes by.
The Korean punk scene is sadly very small, and 'looking punk' apparently isn't the default look of a teen going through a rebel phase as it is in the west. The lead singer is actually a doctor in a hospital for stroke patients, as has to keep the punk part of her life secret to a large degree.
A lot hate women in rock because they get some kind of vacarious tough-guy image from the music they like, and if women do it, it's like it's shrunk their manhood.
A lot hate East Asians in rock, as they see it as some kind of cultural appropriation, and they'll accuse them of copying punk styles (as if a modern punk band from Seattle is copying any less) or 'not doing it right' because they aren't exactly like punks from the USA or England.
There are also others who seem to object to punk having any notable degree of musicianship or melody, in a kind of US Hardcore fundamentalism.
It is crazy. People will pick up the tiniest of things. Rumkicks got a wall of hate comments, accusing them of being product placement sellouts, because one Instagram photo had a can of Coke in it...because, obviously, if you are marketing a global brand, the obvious choice would be to seek out a little-known band from a country where their genre of music isn't popular at all, and pay them to include a can in a photo that might be seen by a few hundred people.
What I'd say is just take pleasure in the fact that you are annoying these people. They deserve to be annoyed. Rumkicks' song "Punk Is Nowhere" is the perfect response, trolling the trolls.
💯👏👏👏👏
I live in Hanoi Vietnam and also lived in Bangkok was one of the founders of Punk Rock Bangkok. I'm pretty open to different genres even go to a lot of metal gigs. I'm always trying to search out punk gigs around Asia next year plan to check out Libertad festival on an island in Jarkata. I've seen a lot of great punk gigs here also trying to organize shows. The biggest punk scene was in Myanmar but also Malaysia has a mix punk hardcore bands. Its good to see more punk bands get exposure outside of Asia. I would love for some of my friends bands to play Rebellion Lowfat, The Greed, Shibui, 7 uppercuts, The Die Hards, Rebel Riot or Cut Lon just to name a few. My plan is to finally make it to Rebellion next year!

Oi!
If punk is fearless self expression, then you guys are punk as.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Well , this is what we in my age bracket was worried about , first , the word adorable does not mix well with true hard core . And the trendy scene of today is not punk , it is a fashion statement and real punks did not dress like clowns . Sorry but I'm from the South Bay. We are the roots of hardcore. And we dressed plain and did not want nothing to do with adorable. Yes I am a jerk , a jerk for life
When was it decided that US Hardcore is the true punk? Much of their inspiration comes from British punk and the rest of the small punk scene in Korea, so why should they give a toss about how it's done in South Bay? And if you think punk is trendy in South Korea, you have no idea. You talk about their style being 'a fashion'. Newsflash, your dressing plain is also a fashion. You are just conforming to a different style.
@@RevStickleback we are hardcore , we put it on the map , no mohawks or spiked hair , we made a statement with our music and our violence, we fought the law and we won ,
@@RevStickleback go listen to your trendy shit and have a good time trying to be something that is not real .
@@RevStickleback obviously you don't know the difference between hardcore and punk , besides do you realize what punk means in the English language 🤔 it means getting it in the arse , in the hardcore scene we put it in others arses , not taking it up the arse . So we are on two different sides of the track , and I will stay in my side . Punk is also a person term which also means getting it up the arse for being weak or owing a debt that can't be paid . So learn English and choose wisely the label you want to associate with .
@@RevStickleback and the time it became the staple of music was in the mid sixties. Way before the garbage that came from the U. K. , While they was listing to the Beatles we listened to garage rock ,
kann man damit Auto fahren🤔
This isn’t punk rock ,, I was there at its inception way back in the 70,s.
This is pop music, with a commercial look .
I don't think anyone in Korea trying to cash in comercially would go for punk. It's an incredibly marginalised genre there. They are a 100% DIY band, with no record label or physical releases.
I would make all 4 of them my Punk Rock Lovers! 😍😍😍😍
I love that the woke “is it hard to be a girl band” question made absolutely no sense to them.
“I don’t give a shit about it.”
In truth there seems to be much less resistance to bands being female in East Asia on the whole. Japan in particular (I know they are Korean) has an absolute ton of all female bands, partly because unlike in the west, young women are encouraged to play musical instruments, and the scene and public completely accepts them.
In a twist of irony the western punk rock gatekeepers are super sexist despite....you know.... them being millitantly left wing.
@@cius2112 Just over a week ago, on a tour of Indonesia, some member of a local 'true punk' band ran up and threw a full glass (thankfully plastic) of beer at the singer's face from close range when she was on stage, in some kind of protest. Not only had he not realised he'd be recognised and outed due to other people filming, but a tweet about it went viral in Indonesia, and was seen over a million times. A grovelling apology was not enough to stop him being sacked by his band. th-cam.com/users/shortsjAVxFdhhbTM
@@RevStickleback Indonesian punks have a real hard time, as they are seen both by people and the establishment as absolute scum, harassed by cops all the time, and many have been left homeless after the tsunami, as they've lost their home and their family. Anyhow, I'm not justifying him, but I understand how a kid coming from that background will look at them and feel robbed by a group looking like the quintessential fashion punks. I like their music to be honest, and Ive reached an age where I don't care if a band is more focused on fashion rather than politics, to be fair fck politics, all it does is dividing us, and furthermore, punk has fallen victim of the woke virus, and Erin final comments about women in punk further proves it, being a buch of absolute nonsense.
can;t afford clothes?
They make their own clothes
To clean for the scene.
Ha, frauds interviewing frauds.
Get a life, mate. You're obsessed. Isn't there an incel forum you could spend your life on instead?
Instagram, sophystiqueted, champagne… where is punk!.?? 👎🏼
This American woman I don't understand what this has to do with PUNK .but also the girls of the band...😅😅
I tried to dig them but it's just cosplay, very much opposite of punk. It's doesn't look or feel authentic but it sounds cool
How many male bands who dress similarly do you label cosplay?
@@RevStickleback Nope, I can spot it in guys too but that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about this specific band. Although it would be easy to argue with me about this but unfortunately that isn't the case.
Weird to make it about gender when it's purely objective.
Anyone, you can spot that it when it doesn't feel real.
There's a big difference from say the Ramones who look like they live in their jackets and bands who focus too much on "looking the part"
Ends up coming off like a band performing at your school talent show where the band are huge fans of the music their playing but wear just goofy stuff like it's parody of the real thing.
@@robertdowneypeenis6139 Given that you know absolutely nothing about them, their background, or the culture of the scene they play in, what makes you so sure about your assessment? The punk scene in Korea (and some other Asian countries) is much more into this kind of look than the USA, for example, where it's almost frowned upon. Their only difference is that they've gone away from the 'mainly black' style normally adopted there. When the lead signer played in one of the more famous Korean punk band, Rux, her look was similarly subdued. Sure, the spikes are pretty much for on stage only, because they take ages to do, plus other bits and pieces where they turn it up to 11, but that doesn't mean they look like regular Korean women the rest of the time.
