Sodagreen

I have always been a fan of indie music. Sodagreen is a band from Taiwan with an especially unique indie sound. The band consists of a bass guitarist, lead guitarist, lead singer, keyboard player, and drummer. Indie music does not fall under a specific style or genre. Each artist is independent, thus the name indie (short for independent.) Sodagreen matches sharp vocals with well-balanced instrumentals. I especially love their inclusion of the keyboard. Keys can add an entirely new element to a song and Sodagreen takes advantage of that. You can especially hear that aspect of their music at the start of their song "幸福額度" (known in English as "The Limit of Happiness.")

Taiwan is commonly known for opera. Internationally, Taiwanese opera stars are very successful. In fact, Taiwanese operas are shown on national and international stages. The challenging and classic genre that is opera, however, can block other Taiwanese talents (and their respective genres,) from reaching the spotlight. Bands- like Sodagreen, are not featured internationally. A talent such as this should not go unrecognized!
