![Blaze 블레이즈 by Rolling Quartz 롤링쿼츠 (Official Debut Single) [MV] REACTION](/img/1.gif)
This band is pretty much the seed of hope for the entirety of rock/metal to have a place in the mainstream music industry of Korea. Anything beyond pop rock pretty much doesn’t exist or get played anywhere else other than some niche tiny corners. From what I hear, there used to be some in the 80s but it all died away with Kpop taking over around the 2000s.
Many decently big rock bands can hardly be called even pop rock now coz they had to tone down their sound just to survive. Its a rather gloomy situation for rock there.
So in regards to these ladies I just hope they can stay as rock bands, and looks and production wise be good enough to compete with pop groups.
They pretty much don’t have a choice as no matter how good their rock music is, it still won’t be enough unless they blow up outside.
Hopefully they’ll have the pioneer’s luck and surprise factor as the representative all female Korean rock band.
If they can succeed as a proper rock band then it’d definitely open the way for many more to get signed as far as the labels go.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I've been living in Korea for over 3 years and yeah Rock music is basically dead here..
I feel like most Koreans ( at least the people I know and considering charts etc) mainly enjoy ballads, hip hop, and some Kpop.. that's basically it.
As a rock music fan, it's really nice to see that at least some Korean groups are trying to do rock, even if it's pretty "soft" and public friendly / pop music-oriented... even though I prefer more "intense" stuff like BM.. but I guess Korea isn't ready for that yet :D
@@nadtrzw7788 sounds like Rock in the US right now
@@nadtrzw7788 Yeah it really is a good start. When I first heard of their debut I was honestly very excited as I felt they might have all the right elements to truly open a crack in this Kpop dominated market as a Rock band, even if by a little.
I’ve been following quite a few Korean artists over the years, with my fav all time vocalist So Hyang also being from there. Then there are those of the newer generation, the likes of Ailee, Lee hi, Sonnet Son, to name a few.
It’s basically flooding with amazing vocalists maybe coz of how popular pop ballads are and the presence of many talent shows related to singing.
So it has always been a wish of mine to see some of these vocal powerhouses flow into the Rock scene too as I’m more into Rock than other genres.
Let’s hope Rolling Quartz can eventually carve a firm foothold for themselves.
@@curtisrrobles7885 I more or less stopped listening to US (mainstream) music in like..2010 tbh. Most popular/ mainstream stuff nowadays isn't my thing at all :/ Back when I was younger there was more rock/punk music though. ? At least from my memory lol ( I mean I remember Paramore being pretty popular even in my home country Germany.. I used to loooveeee their music.. not so much their recent stuff I gotta say though)
Dreamcatcher and Rolling Quartz colab! How awesome would that be!
I dream with this all days
Jayoung (lead vocal) and Yeongeun (drummer) are big Dreamcatcher fans and have several covers on their individual youtube channels. Jayoung did Boca and managed to do all vocal parts quite creditably. She has a very versatile voice for a rock singer.
The amount of power that would have would be illegal, appreciated but illegal
@@mizterxc Megaton yield capacity!
You should have seen them live a couple weeks ago with three other bands including Velvet Sighs, Brats and Vincit. They were all great. If you're interested another all female Korean rock band, check some "Walking After U". Brats and RQ are doing another live stream in March with two other bands (TBD) again.
Saw that concert! Awesome show and I liked how they had an English translator. I saw they (RQ) have another free online concert coming up soon.
I saw too, amazing concert
All 4 bands are amazing
Walking After U is freaking good 🔥
tq for the suggestion!
Thumbs up for the comment you left on the B-M Warning vid this morning. ;-)
This is a great song, but the greatest thing about it is that they all wrote this song together. Each member wrote their own section since they know their instruments best. That is something you just don't see any more - not since the supergroups of the 70's and 80's.
I think this band is gonna go places, over time, much like Band-Maid. This gives me early B-M vibes, as in its currently not the best in the genre they're in, but the more they put out, they get closer and closer to being one of the best as a whole. I'm gonna keep following them as I'm really interested to see where their journey is gonna take them.
I can't wait to recieve my Rolling Quartz album and all 4 versions of Dreamcatcher's 6th mini album
Thank you for saying that it sounded like power rangers lol I was stuck trying to figure out what it sounded like! And I'm so glad you're enjoying Rolling Quartz, they're so sweet and they are jam packed with talent. I think they're a group that will go far
I'm so glad you reacted to them! And I'm so happy you like their debut!! Delight is my second favorite, I highly recommend listening to that one next!
Kudos, Champ, for getting into this band so early on. I've become a big fan since I discovered them around end of '22. Yes, they have the look and the cuteness that is such a big part of the equation, but IMHO there is a strong core there - they have the charisma and can play! Jayoung's vocals cut like a knife. I think we can expect great things out of them. Hope to see you at a '23 show!
This band has a style similar to most J-rock bands. Band Maid doesn't have much of Japanese J-rock because they are more fused hard rock and it is not common in Japan. You have to know more about J-rock to understand it..... PD: this band has played in shows with other J-rock bands like Brats
Dreamcatcher's Good Night is playing while you're about to react to Rolling Quartz, now we got RQ covering Dreamcatcher's Good Night! We're waiting for your reaction to that cover!
Rolling Quartz seem like having the vibe of the early before-writing-their-own-songs Band-maid, very mildly though
Or maybe it's just me 🤪
As a huge BM fan, I do hear some similarities.
As a rock person this is the only kind of pop I’ll listen to. Good job! New band to follow!
So glad you reacted to Rolling Quartz! I’ve been really getting into them lately! I’m excited to hear more from them!
It is refreshing to see that there is a club circuit scene in Korea fostering REAL bands. This band is a lucky fusion of "Rolling Girlz" and "Rose Quartz" into a solid, well rounded, and yes gorgeous girl rock band. You can feel the punk influence but it's backed with a bit more skill on the guitars, granted not Saki or Hazuki level skill, at least not that I have seen thus far but enough not to drop them into chord smashing punk. I love the texture of Jayoung's vocals as well as her cadence and overall tone of her voice, she is a welcome pleasure to listen to. Yeongeun is a powerhouse on her kit backing the group and driving the band. I think Arem is the secrete sauce that makes it all come together on that bass, she has skills. The fact that they came together organically, not a creation of the big 3 who decided who they would be, how they would sound, what their vocals would say, remember they've only been together about as long as Nemophila and if I'm honest would be a very good pairing on a venue together. The fact that all of the members participated in the production of the songs, including lyrics, composition, and arrangement shows they are active participants in the development of their sound and identity. They are a solid rock band and I'll be watching to see how they develop, they have this producer as a fan...
I just watched their interview with Sera Ryu. As it turns out, each of the girls writes the music for her own parts. The singer lets them know how she thinks it should feel, but leaves it up to them as to how it's written.
Bruh your intro and outro being Dreamcatcher makes me so damn happy.
I love Iree, she is so gorgeous and i can just watch her play that guitar all day. Iree is the red head guitarist man.
You REALLY need to check out their newest video for Azalea! Jayoung (the lead singer) has an incredible stage presence - talk about girl power!
Hey Champ!!
I'm glad I got you hooked on them!
In terms of the mixing, I think they did the mixing themselves. I'm not entirely sure about it. Since they aren't with a company, their debut album will only have Blaze and Blaze Instrumental on it. So no new music for now.
With all the positive feedback they are getting, they were even able to do an interview for a popular music news outlet thingy. So they are growing more and more! Also you can pre-order their album currently if you are interested in supporting them!
Happy to see you get into this, Insomnias and Diadems have a pretty close overlapping venn diagram.
First time listening to this band ... very interesting... I always like the punk vibe, always. Normally it's something that stays there, even when the music changes, takes new directions after a few years, it's always something that "bleeds out" every now and then - look at Band-Maid, first album has that Punk feel and they kept it throughout their albums. These girls sound good, really good...
In a completely different vibe (but having that Punk feel along with Pop) I think you would like to check Silent Siren with MISA's little friend Aina being a awesome bass player as well (and probably a nice beer mate)... SaiSai are a really really addictive band, same ages as Band-Maid but all about Pop, Rock, Punky, happy feel to it all... once I got used to Suu's voice, I got completely hooked... here's a (heavier than usual) live performance ruclips.net/video/vpJigVkzDVg/видео.html ...really worth checking out... or check "Hero" for a speed-punk style...
Cheeers, thumbs up!
@The Champ of Medium
Have You seen Nemophila s RAITEI yet ?
You gotto check it out they are amazing.
If they toured with Band Maid in 2021. Id be the happiest Guy on Earth.
I'm just finding out about this band. BRATS is doing a live stream of several Asian Female bands and Rolling Quartz has a snippet in the video. I remembered that you did a reaction vid and wanted to check it out.
I'm a fan. Thanks for reacting. I have no idea how good or bad they are as musicians. I just like the sound vocally and musically they make.
I love these girls, they aren't the musicians that Band Maid are, but they write good songs. Tbeir ep is good
Should go and check out their Halloween House Party Live... For a youtube live set, it sounded amazing, and their personalities are more on display. The drummer is my initial bias, but the guitarist (Iree) is a show-stealer.
Mxpx! Pennywise! You are speaking my language. I grew up on pop punk and metal. I love your taste
Pop punk? Yup. I hear it. ♥️
They have a nice niche. After the full bore sonic assault (in a good way) that was Unseen World...this was a nice change of pace
...is that a Mutant Enemy cap..? 🤨
Areum!!!!! Areum!!!!! Areum!!!!
There's a cover of the lead singer doing Boca on her channel. Rolling Quartz are so good.
Hi Champ....time stamps dont lie. You are the very early supporters of this band nd now they about to become global superstars and a new break-out EP coming in June 2024! Thanks. Take Care!
Another Korean band worth checking out: MESSGRAM.
Thanks for this suggestion, I listened some of their songs, sounded great! Whats your favourites from them?
@@tinaaikaa77 I'm still rather new to their music. I like "Karma," because that was the first song I heard. I like "Omen" too.
@@mr559 thanks! Karma mv I saw allready, that was something! I will check Omen also, I think I saw there was a live version in their channel 👍
@@tinaaikaa77 yes, the love version is there.
I just found this thanks to my Spotify and me listening to kpop and band maid. I like, but not so in love yet
Their have a official channel try check another tracks (Random, Delight, Rock in Roll Paradise)
I'm just here for the background music :DC,I do agree with the smoke show.
이 밴드는 한국에서 새로운 느낌의 밴드입니다. 한국보다 외국에서 관심이 더 많네요.. ㅎㅎ
you my dude are a true king! every other reaction channel sexualised them
I would say they have potential for sure. 100% agree wish the sound was a bit more full but I think that will come with time.
The vibe I get from Rolling Quartz is the same (or similar) kind of vibe I get from Scandal from Japan. It's a good vibe, not a bad vibe.
🔥
Yayy, I’m so excited. Thanks for responding to my DM about reacting to this song. It’s funny how you were already planning on reacting to it when I messaged you.
Didn't know you already reacted just posted them on your community page
Love it that you talking about Rolling quartz with dreamcatcher music in the background great reaction
I'm all about the rhythm section. Love them. It's like early Band-Maid in a different flavor. Heavy Paramore?
My boy reacting to my GIRLS
Also recommend Dreamcatcher as both these groups are hugely underrated but in SKorea. Which is so rare to see Rock anyways is like fining a unicorn. 🦄 It's really a nice discovery here. They are also so good live as check out Azelea which just released a couple days ago. 🤘🦊💕
U should check out my DC playlist then 😁
Promising. We need more rock bands!!. We are thirsty of good rock and roll!!
It hasn't given me the energy or blowing me away. But it feels a bit like early band maid. Which is a compliment
I love how you can think by there Make Up: are they K Pop? and then you look at the Hair and Outfit Combo and it just screams Punk 😁 and i also think in the future we can definitly rely on Korea and Japan keeping care of Oldschool Rock and Metalsubgenres forever 😌
I think they need to use another type of distorsion, more heavy. At least from my perspective.
Are the kids allright? haha, love it!
But yes, that lead is copied right out of the The Offspring textbook.
I hope they streamline their instruments a little bit those guits are to big for them they do good with them but imagine what they could do with equipment that more or less fit them oh if they get good enuff them opening for band maid
here it is the k rock is coming it s à very good band they have some very good songs and i have still to listen to Many japanese Girls rock band !!!!
I got Buffy the Vamp Slayer intro vibes.
waiting for Gus Mcarthur to react to this band
Lmao. Power ranger! You got me bro!! Lol..
Get the Band Maid mixing person now.Cool band.
WoWsers
very cool !!!!! nice kpop rock !!
We need a reaction for their 2022 Dreamcatcher 'Good Night' homage. And their new album.

MV: Blaze, Random, Delight, Rock in Roll Paradise
Covers: Dynamite (BTS), Shape of You (Ed Sheran), Kimarigoto (Brats), Youth Gone Wild (SkidRow), Misery Business (Paramore), Bad Romance (Lady Gaga)
Its not blowing me away but it’s only their debut so will see what happens. Spoiled by Bandmaids excellence. I’m sure in time they will get better just like Bandmaid have over the years. Not talking about their technical ability but more my enjoyment of the song.
When I think about early Band Maid while listening to this..... This is a very promising debut!... Look, sound, style... checking all the boxes in my book...can't wait to hear alot more from them..🤘✌
Thanks for putting this up Champ. It would be great to get in on the ground floor of a band that gets progressively better, like another band we know and love (BM).
I love The Paramore Cover ^.^
I hope u can React SURL’s “Stay Here” or “Snow” song... Please...
im so glad to see you reacting rolling quartz. i think they are gonna be really great
Not bad at all, the singer reminds me a lot of Julie from Hydrogyn.... anyway these girls are still light years away from Japanese bands such as Doll$Boxx or Mary's Blood.
Watching them live (ruclips.net/video/yG5WbxzZvqg/видео.html) they sound a bit loose and weak (nothing that many hours of practice cannot solve)
Finding good hard rock or metal bands in a country where K-pop is a quasi-state corporation that stifles other genres is not an easy task.
If these girls really want to grow up they should consider moving to the States, Japan or Europe.
Oof I just found their debut and I immediately look to see if you reacted to it and jsodbsks perfect timing literally 6 hours
Great job I love this group almost put them up there with band-maid 👍😉😎
At last, an insightful review of Blaze, with no mention of Dreamcatcher. Why do folks pair those two together? RQ ain't no Kpop.
But Dreamcatcher ain't no K-pop either, musically speaking, so they do fit together... Not saying he should have mentioned Dreamcatcher, but it is not surprising that people often bring them together in discussions or comments. By the way, he did have Dreamcatcher music in the background while he was talking about RQ at the end of the video... ;-)
Thanks for introducing me to this excellent little band a definite punk vibe like some of Scandals will be paying attention to these young ladies
first!
When I first listen to them I lost my mind
idk my ears might have prejudice against korean music and im no music expert, but honestly they werent half bad, it just .... how do i phrase.... its like they dont go all the way
i thought the same. but like champ said, it could be the mixing. it was hard to hear rhythm guitar. i still really liked it tho
K-Rock! Rolling Quartz could be the Korean version of Band-Maid. Starting to follow them awhile back. I hope them lots of success. This is a great debut. Can't wait what they come up with next. Thanks for the reaction Champ!
Some scenes are copies of Japanese music videos.🤷♂️Are they not confident
Koreans are like we can give you a slicker version of Band-Maid.
Weak lead vocal and only covers to others' songs. They are paying too much attention to how they look instead what and how they are playing-they just have to copletely erase the k-pop influence. For now they are too mediocre and to be compared to BAND-MAID is a ridiculous nonsense.
why would u compare them to band maid?
