Crying Nut, formed in 1993, is often considered one of the most influential rock bands in the history of Korean rock music, as the band that popularized the genre of punk rock to the general public. The band’s most popular track is “Speed Up Losers” from their first full-length album released in 1998.

Having debuted in 2014, the Busan-based rock band Say Sue Me is relatively newer. The band won the best modern rock song and the best modern rock album at the 2019 Korean Music Awards.
