Yoooo…no joke, when this band’s photo came across our social media radar our initial response was, “Cool – Malaysia has a new hardcore band!” And then we looked closer and realized that the band is actually from USA formed by a bunch of proud Asian Americans. Woah – so sick to see ourselves in bands out there in the US. RESPECT.
The band is called No Model and they were kind enough to provide us with more information about the band’s formation and basically, what they’re about.
“My name is Sehun and I sing for NO MODEL and also run KILL YELLOW FEVER RECORDS.
He was kind enough to add this phrase that had our hearts beating hard “NO MODEL is Weaponized Asian American Diaspora”. He explains, “It’s using our voices as Asian Americans spread across the east coast and “weaponizing” our power as a collective, instead of further dividing ourselves.”
If we’ve learned anything with our short time on this planet, representation fucking matters.
Mad respect to the band, to Sehun, and his label Kill Yellow Fever Records. Now go blast those jams below!
