Say Sue Me are a surf-inspired indie-rock/pop act from Busan, South Korea, cited as one of 2018’s ‘break-out bands’. Childhood friends Jaeyoung Ha (Bass) and Byungkyu Kim (guitar) met drummer Semin Kang and played in bands together since 2012, when they met Sumi Choi at a tea shop in Nampo-dong. They liked her speaking voice and immediately offered her a spot as the vocalist in a new band that would become Say Sue Me. Sumi turned out to be a natural at songwriting. Semin sadly suffered trauma from a fall. New drummer Changwon Kim stands in while they await Semin’s recovery.
Following showcases at SxSW in 2018, the band released their sophomore album Where We Were Together and a Record Store Day covers EP, which won praise from Pitchfork, NPR, Billboard, i-D, the Independent, Stereogum, Paste, MTV, Uproxx, Fader, DIS, The 405 and more.
Three tracks were playlisted on BBC 6 Music where Lauren Laverne, Tom Ravenscroft, Gideon Coe and Don Letts have championed the band, as well as Elton John on Beats1 and KEXP.
