Drinking Boys and Girls Choir (DBGC) is a three-piece punk band from Daegu, South Korea. Formed in 2013 when two drummers MJ and Meena shared a rehearsal space and decided to form a band, Meena switched to Bass and guitarist Bondu (who had just finished his military service) answered their ad. They bonded over a shared love of drinking, skating and punk. Inspired by Daegu’s 90s-00s hardcore punk/indie-rock scene before it moved to Seoul, a topic band are very passionate about, vowing not to move to the capital, preferring to nurture a sustainable local scene. In 2017, MJ suffered a serious motorbike accident, so the band took a hiatus while awaiting her recovery. When she was fit again, they DIY produced their 18 track debut album “Keep Drinking” released on Damnably/Electric Muse in 2019, followed by show stealing appearances at SXSW, TGE, LSC, Pentaport, Busan International Rock Festival, Zandari & MU:CON and also toured the UK tour supporting label mates Otoboke Beaver & Say Sue Me. Bondu retired from the band following their UK tour and Myorori stepped in on guitar duties.

Drinking Boys and Girls Choir - Marriage Licence

Drinking Boys and Girls Choir - Marriage Licence

"Written and recorded under the stress of a pandemic but also a tidal shift in Korea, this is a little more grown up, less playful second album than their 18 track debut (Keep Drinking). Their politics are fiercer, they reflect on their outrage at the Nth Room Case, there is wider questioning of gender roles and the patriarchy as old views and assumptions are called out and tossed in the bin. Marriage License reflects a band who don't feel it's a time to mess about. They have honed their chops and know their targets."
