The Daily Buzz caught up with the winners of the 2015 Korean Music Awards Rock Song Of The Year Asian Chairshot after their performance at KPop Night Out at the Elysium. This psychedelic garage rock band group consists of a talented trio: drummer Pak Gye Wan, guitarist Sohn Hee Nam, and bassist and vocalist Hwang Yong Won. Others have compared their sound to Black Sabbath, Soundgarden and Radiohead.

Find out during our interview how they met Jeff Schroeder of Smashing Pumpkins, how they convinced him to produce their album, and why it's important to never give up.
