Punk Trio SAILOR HONEYMOON Release New Single ‘Armchair’ [Korea]

By on November 26, 2025

Following a whirlwind year that saw them play stages from Best Kept Secret to Primavera Sound and land a spot on the NME 100 Artists to Watch in 2025, Korean punk trio SAILOR HONEYMOON are back with their latest single “Armchair”, a sharp-tongued anthem that takes aim at complacency and condescension, and the old-guard attitudes that still shape most industries, including music.

Emerging from the Seoul underground as a spontaneous jam between photographer Abi Raymaker (장인화) and former DJ Zaeeun Shin (신재은), Sailor Honeymoon quickly evolved into one of Korea’s most talked-about punk acts, known for their raucous live energy, distorted loud guitar sounds, and inclusivity. With the addition of bassist Yelim Kim (김예림), the trio’s chemistry has only intensified, their sound deepening into something both raw and razor-sharp.

“Armchair” channels that intensity into a wiry and witty song that sneers at self-satisfaction and false authority. With driving guitars, garage-tight rhythm, and a chorus that hits like a refusal, it’s a catchy callout for anyone still speaking down at them from a metaphorical throne.
