Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance
Posted by: mark ˑ March 15, 2009 – 1:25 pmOkay, I am pretty sure this band must be a hoax, but it is odd enough that I present it to you anyway.
Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance claims to be a “breakcore” band out of North Korea. The Myspace page author claims there are two people making these tapes in Pyongyang, then the music is smuggled out of the country by refugees.
It all seems pretty unlikely to me. But the idea is amusing nonetheless. And the Myspace page has a download link, so you can listen to more of PHR’s music… whoever it is that is really making it.
Now, if only we could list their live shows on the Gig Guide…

Please read the .txt file attached with the release or PHR’s latest blog entry (http://www.myspace.com/dprkhc/blog/546047606) to learn the truth about PHR.

Well that answers that.
I didn’t have a problem with people pretending to be North Koreans releasing music. It was kind of echoed in the Rhee Sung-woong project more recently, which was also an interesting way to imagine how underground music could come to exist in North Korea.
