Say Bok Gwai
Say Bok Gwai is San Francisco’s first Chinese American hardcore band, melding two distinct cultures into a completely unique sound. Say Bok Gwai’s original compositions are rooted in American punk/thrash/hardcore music and sung primarily in Cantonese. The subject matter ranges from Chinese American identity to grappling with traditionalChinese values and down with “the man” aesthetics.
Say Bok Gwai is a Chinese American band that pushes the envelope of musical, social, and political extremes. Say Bok Gwai shows a new face of Chinese American music and is not for the timid or easily offended.
- Alex Yeung - Eletric Guitar
- André Custodio - Drums
Press quotes
The playing is always brutally aggressive, but for a collection of very short punk songs, there is a simply astonishing landscape of musical variety here – tempo variations, sonic texture, breaks and fills in places they’ve never been encountered before… Say Bok Gwai rocks!
