[NEW EP] Formed in Wuhan, China in 2025, Sullenboy is a DIY emo/hardcore band inspired by Title Fight, Basement, Turnover, and Fiddlehead. Named after a Fiddlehead song, the band recently released their debut EP “Sun & Moon”. Reflecting on the band’s origins, Sullenboy shares: “For many years, we’ve been listening to emo, pop punk, hardcore, and indie rock, while constantly watching live performances from our favorite bands on YouTube. Seeing people stage diving, singing along, and throwing themselves into the crowd together, we often imagined what it would feel like to one day stand on a stage like that ourselves. Eventually, we realized that instead of constantly talking about the bands we loved, we should just start a band of our own.” That idea became the beginning of Sullenboy — a band born from a longing for the live experience and a deep love for the music that inspired them. They remain fascinated by the energy, sense of community, and DIY spirit at the heart of hardcore culture. Rather than focusing on genre labels, Sullenboy cares more about writing songs that honestly reflect their own experiences and creating live shows where people can connect with one another.
[新EP] Sullenboy 2025年成立于中国武汉，是一支受Title Fight、Basement、Turnover、Fiddlehead等乐队影响的DIY情绪硬核/摇滚乐队。乐队名取自Fiddlehead的一首歌。他们的首张EP《Sun & Moon》近日发行。 乐队说：“很多年来，我们一直在听 emo、流行朋克、硬核以及独立摇滚，也总会在 YouTube 上反复看自己喜欢的乐队现场。看着台下的人跳水、合唱、互相碰撞，经常会想象，如果有一天自己也能站在那样的舞台上会是什么感觉。 后来我们发现，与其一直聊自己喜欢的乐队，不如干脆组一个属于自己的乐队。”这就是 Sullenboy 的开始，源于对现场的向往，以及对这些音乐的热爱。他们始终对硬核场景里的的能量、凝聚力和 DIY 精神极度着迷。相比于风格标签，他们更在意的是写出能够真实反映自身经历的歌曲，以及创造一个能够让人与人产生连接的现场。
