The Employees

**The Employees** are a Hong Kong-based indie rock/post-punk outfit known for their raw, energetic sound and bilingual lyricism (English and Cantonese). Formed around 2016, the band blends jagged guitars, frenetic rhythms, and introspective themes, often exploring modern urban anxieties and sardonic observations about work culture, relationships, and identity. Tracks like "Workaholic," "Alkohol," and "Radio Debris" showcase their knack for pairing gritty, danceable riffs with deadpan vocals and darkly humorous social commentary.

Their releases, including the self-titled EP *The Employees* (2019) and *Radio Debris* (2021), highlight their evolution as genre-benders unafraid to experiment with noise-rock textures and multilingual wordplay. While rooted in Hong Kong’s underground scene, their no-holds-barred energy and relatable disillusionment anthems (like “Pick It Up / Toothpaste”) have earned them a cult following across Asia’s indie circuits. They’ve shared stages with acts like David Boring and Room307, cementing their reputation as scrappy, unapologetic voices in a city buzzing with contradictions.
