Lonely Leary is a Chinese post-punk band known for their raw, emotive style and their contribution to the underground rock scene in China. The band members, which include lead vocalist and bassist Song Ang, guitarist Liu Ge, and drummer Li Bo, came together in Beijing in 2012. Drawing inspiration from an array of post-punk and noise rock bands, Lonely Leary's sound is characterized by its gloomy, introspective lyrics, and a discordant yet captivating instrumental backdrop that often builds up to explosive crescendos.

Their discography showcases a creative exploration of the human condition and the urban landscape, intertwining lyrical poetry with a distinct sonic experience. Their poignant releases such as "最後的四重奏" (The Last Quartet) and "Passenger on the Eve" reflect the band's fascination with existential themes and the passage of time. Songs like "七個冬天" (Seven Winters) and "潛/夏天開始Ⅱ" (Submerge/Summer Begins II) present a haunting glimpse into moments of seasonal transition and introspection. With "青年湖/綠衣人" (Youth Lake/Green-Clad People) and "穿過公園就到了" (Through the Park), Lonely Leary further solidifies their place in the hearts of those who crave the intensity and authenticity that defines China’s alternative music scene.
