痛仰樂隊

痛仰樂隊 (Tongue) has been shaking up China's rock scene since forming in 1999, earning their stripes as one of the country's most enduring alternative bands. Starting with raw, punk-fueled energy on early tracks, they evolved into melodic storytellers weaving social commentary into anthems like "今日青年" (Today’s Youth) and "願愛無憂" (Wish Love Without Worry). Their 2008 album *不要停止我的音樂* (Don’t Stop My Music) became a turning point, blending introspective lyrics with grunge-inspired riffs.

Known for staying culturally relevant, they’ve dropped fresh cuts like the dreamy "粉红色的回忆" (Pink Memories) and gritty "Downtown" in recent years, proving they’re still riffing on youth, rebellion, and everyday struggles. While dodging straightforward labels, their music vibes with festival crowds and underground fans alike—a testament to their knack for merging catchy hooks with unflinching honesty. No flashy drama, just decades of amplifying the voice of China’s restless generations.
