Captain Bootbois

Since they began, Captain Bootbois have been the quintessential Korean skinhead band, with one two-year break while singer Donghyun was drafted. They haven't always exactly been a skinhead band, and at no point has the band lineup been 100% skinhead. They have had a lot of talent go through the band though. One of the founding members, Joohyun, also founded and played bass for Rux, Ghetto Bombs, and most recently Galaxy Express.

While Donghyun was serving his country, the band replaced him and renamed themselves Blood Pledge. By the time he returned, Blood Pledge and Captain Bootbois were two separate entities with no shared musicians.

Today, Captain Bootbois is made up of:
-Donghyun on vocals, nicknamed "nongbu" or "farmer" for some reason


-Skele or Changwon on guitar. He was one of Korea's original skinheads, and a founding member of Samchung, but disappeared from the scene for a few years and ended up almost becoming a minister. He had a kid, shaved his head, and came back.


-JunKyu on bass. To combat stage fright, he always chews gum while he plays, and you can see him blowing bubbles on stage. Kind of an odd habit.


-Kirk, a Canadian metal drummer who most recently joined the band and pointed them much more into the metal camp.


Captain Bootbois have released one full-length a few years back and one rougher demo earlier. Recently they put out a hard-to-find split with fellow skinhead-turned-metal band Samchung. Unlike their previous songs, these ones are sung mostly in Korean, the only exception being "Fight For Your Right." The song "Belief Like Rock" is a poor translation of a phrase that makes more sense in Korean, basically about a belief that is as strong as rock. There's also one song where they collaborate with Samchung.

The four songs by them are available for download.
