This is the 9th episode of the Unite Asia Podcast and this time we’re taking the podcast to Korea! We sat down with Jiwon and Jina of an AWESOME band that caught our attention over the summer - Billy Carter. The band literally JUST celebrated the release of their second album “Don’t Push Me” and in the interview, we talked about how these two amazing women got into punk rock, how they started the band, and then what are some issues they feel strongly about - issues like misogyny and gender rights in Korea.

We hope you enjoy the episode! But most importantly, please go support this INCREDIBLE band!

Unite Asia Podcast第9集，我哋將大家帶到韓國。 我哋訪問咗Billy Carter樂隊嘅成員Jiwon同Jina。 今個夏天佢哋引起咗我哋嘅注意，覺得呢隊樂隊超正。 佢哋剛剛出咗第二張專輯“Don’t Push Me”， 訪問中講到佢哋係點樣進入punk rock世界、點樣開始呢隊樂隊，同埋佢哋身為韓國女性對仇視女性文化同性別權益等問題嘅睇法等。

希望您喜歡呢一集！但最重要係，請支持呢隊咁正嘅樂隊！

In our seventh episode of the Unite Asia Podcast, we sit down with the vocalist of Pakistani grindcore band Multinational Corporations as he takes us through how he got into heavy music (metal to hardcore punk) on the streets of Lahore. Super enlightening to chat with another Pakistani and hear how different our upbringings were (He is a Pakistani who grew up in Pakistan, while I'm a Pakistani who grew up in Hong Kong).

Hopefully, you've noticed that with every episode we have been going male, female, male, female. We're trying our best to make sure the world knows what's up with our Asian community.

In our sixth episode of the Unite Asia Podcast, we interview my daughter Sofia! Why? Because. :-) Actually, it's because the person we were supposed to interview couldn't make it even with rescheduling several times. Luckily, my daughter was ready to jump right in! In this episode she talks about her favorite records, and even talks about the times I brought her out on stage when my old band King Ly Chee played in Shenzhen and Taiwan. 

She says she's SUPER excited to see what comments you're all going to leave so please leave some below!

In our third episode of the Unite Asia Podcast, we talk to Mel, bassist of Singapore based sludge metal act HRVST and the mastermind behind Green Spell apparel line. We talk about how a kid in Singapore got into hardcore but also then veer into conversation about the horrible accident that took place year that has left this creative genius paralyzed from the neck down.

We hope you will take the time to listen to this interview in its entirety over the course of the week. We especially hope you will take the time to leave a few words of encouragement for Mel in the comments below and on his own social media accounts. Lastly, we hope you buy every last piece of Green Spell merch so we can blow up his apparel line and support him!
