Nerd Connection (Korean: 너드커넥션) is a four-member South Korean rock band. Nerd Connection formed on 31 May 2017, later officially debuting on 12 August 2018 with their single "Hymn of the Birds". The band’s slogan is "(in a) dizzy world, warm music" (Korean: "어지러운 세상, 따뜻한 음악").[1] Nerd connection's music is heavily inspired by western bands from the 1990s and early 2000s such as Radiohead, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, and Oasis as well as Korean artists such as Kim Kwang-seok, San-ul-rim, and Nell.[2]

Formation

[edit]

Nerd Connection's Seo Young-joo and Choi Seung-wo met at Yonsei University's college band club 'Medusa' in 2012 after they were assigned to the same team. In 2013, Park Jae-hyun joined 'Medusa' as a new member and subsequently teamed up with Young-joo and Seung-wo. In 2017 the three members decided to take up their band activities professionally (previously they had been playing together as a hobby) and recruited Shin Yeon-tae (who had previously worked together with Jae-hyun on a project band) as their drummer.[2]

The members of Nerd Connection used a band name generator to come up with a temporary band name. Since three of the four band members majored in engineering they provided the generator with related prompt words, producing the name 'Nerd Connection'. According to Nerd Connection's vocalist, Seo Young-Jo, the word "nerd" that appears in the band's name stands for "a person who is immersed in something and goes alone on a lonely road". The band's name was supposed to only be temporary for them to use for their first performances (as they found it "was not bad"), however as time passed the name grew on them and they decided to keep it as their permanent name.[3]

Musicality

[edit]

At the core, Nerd Connection is a band "heavily influenced by British band music in the 1990s and early 2000s". However, while their music is mainly reminiscent of "British pop and alternative rock genres", their later releases show an expansion of genres.[4]

Nerd Connection writes their song lyrics in both Korean and English. According to the band's vocalist Seo Young-joo, the band writes both a Korean and an English version of their song, afterwards choosing "the language which resonates more". When writing in Korean, their lyrics are reported to be "emotional and beautiful metaphors".[5]

Career

[edit]

2018–2021: career beginnings

[edit]

On 12 August 2018, Nerd Connection made their official debut with the single "Hymn of the Birds". It took the band three months to write the single as "no one knew where to start". The first three band members (Choi, Seo and Park) applied to perform at the Buncheon National University Song Festival with "Hymn of the Birds", which is when they decided their band needed a drummer and thus, Shin joined Nerd Connection. The single is written entirely in English as the sound the band was aiming for was “in the direction of Anglo-American music”.[6]

In 2018 Nerd Connection competed at the Emergenza World Band Competition 2018 Korea. The band competed in five preliminary rounds held in Korea, before winning the Korean branch of the competition's final round. The final of the Emergenza world competition was held in Germany. The winning bands from each country performed at the Taubertal Festival 2018 in Germany.[7]

On 5 April 2019, band members Jae-hyun and Young-joo featured in episode 12 of season 6 of I Can See Your Voice. While both members joined as representatives of Nerd Connection, they performed individually. Jae-hyun performed first in the Lip Sync round as a "good" singer. Later in the episode Young-joo performed as a "good singer" in the Evidence round.[8]

Nerd Connection released their second single, "대나무숲" (which translates to 'Bamboo Forest' in English) on 8 April 2019. This single was produced and composed entirely by Choi (unlike the band's previous works) because he felt that he "should appear on the entertainment program I Can See Your Voice" and felt the need to compose a song with Korean lyrics following his and Park's appearance on the show (as up to then the band had primarily been writing songs to be sung in English).[9]

Nerd Connection's first EP was released on 6 December 2019. Their EP, Too Fast, runs for 22 minutes and features five songs.

"Good Night Good Dream", their third single was released on 23 March 2020. "Good Night Good Dream" is an indie-style ballad, with "sweet lyrics and popular melody".[4]

On 22 October 2020, Nerd Connection's fourth single "Back in Time" was released.

Beginning on 16 November 2020 and continuing until 25 January 2021, Nerd Connection's vocalist (Seo) appeared on season 1 of JTBC's show Sing Again as "Contestant No. 26".[10] Seo joined the show as he felt "musically stagnant". Following his appearance on the show, Nerd Connection received positive attention, leading Seo to express that it is "fortunate that there are many people who are interested in our music through the show".[11]

On 21 January 2021 the band released their fifth single titled "Time Falling".

Nerd Connection's sixth single, "걸어갈래요" (English translation: "I'll Walk") was released on 24 March 2021. The song "attracts the sympathy of many people with its lyrical lyrics that contain a voice of support".[12]

On 6 June 2021, Nerd Connection released their next single titled "Nan". Following this release, on 15 June 2021, Young-joo and Seung-yoon featured in episode 11 of JTBC's Sing Again spin-off show, Famous Singers.[13]

On 17 June 2021, Nerd Connection signed with the Korean record label/agency Your Summer.[14]

"Life Dancing", Nerd Connection's eighth single came out on 15 August 2021. This song compares the motions of everyday living to a dance. Through their lyrics, Nerd Connection suggests that "Our struggles are quite sad when you look closely, but beautiful from a distance".[15]

New Century Masterpiece Cinema, Nerd Connection's first full-length album was released on 27 October 2021. It comprises 12 songs, and has a total duration of 42 minutes. The leading song of this album is "Supernova!", which embodies "a typical Brit pop sound and shows a standard style" of rock.[4]
