Royal Pirates are a three-piece Korean rock group from California who got attention by posting rock covers of kpop songs on YouTube. Like Sorry, Sorry:

( embeded under cut )
Other ones I really like:
Mirotic (DBSK) - http://youtu.be/xpKx1ep2gdg
Genie (SNSD) - http://youtu.be/C_QGhziMdOU
Again&Again + I hate you (2PM) - http://youtu.be/GTfT9rSYQdY

I heard they're planning on debuting in Korea soon(ish?) and so I checked out some of the original stuff they've put out, and SHOCKER, I already love them. (shut up redcouchaddict. they aren't a boyband, so I'm totally allowed!)

Disappear MV (this was when they were still in California)



Also I really like Royal Villain - http://youtu.be/r5_iLXRKzgM

And here are a couple ballads:
Like Butterflies - http://youtu.be/WBJKLB6uqSA
One Hundred Roses (by Soohyun of Royal Pirates) - http://youtu.be/zbRze4gsteg (srsly, could this song be any cuter?)

I AM HIGHLY ANTICIPATING A FULL RELEASE. I've heard they don't want to go on the music shows because they don't want to hand sync (which, totally don't blame them) but I really hope they change their minds bc more people need to hear them. STARTING WITH YOU GUYS. :P

What do you think? Are their Philtrums worthy of touching? I NEED TO KNOW. yes Philtrum is a proper noun now and therefore must be capitalized at all times. jsyk.
