Will YB appeal to American rock fans?

Korea’s top rock band YB has signed a promotional contract with the former manager of Guns N’ Roses as part of an effort to make it into the American and British music markets.

The band’s domestic management said Tuesday that the five-member group, led by vocalist Yoon Do-hyun, will release its first English album in February and promote it with the help of Doug Goldstein, a former manager of the legendary American rock band.

Goldstein saw potential for YB’s success in Western countries after reviewing its music and performances, according to the band’s management.

“YB’s music is amazing in everything,” Goldstein was quoted as saying in a Korean-written statement released by the group’s management. “Its music reminds me of Guns N’ Roses and Aerosmith songs.”

Yoon expressed high expectations, saying his band will try its hardest to gain recognition overseas.
