Musicians react & review ♡ Xikers - Do or Die (MV)

This thing was DO AND DIE. WOW. What a song this was. After reacting to Xikers' newest track, Homeboy, we got this incredible zombie themed dokkaebi universe of Do or Die. Xikers' unique vocal style, singing abilities, and creative dance moves and music video really set the grounds for their Dokkaebi lore and we LOVED it. We got Koong next, and we imagine that's the sound of us falling from the sky and hitting the floor after listening to the track, so wish us luck :'). As usual, thank you all the lovely supporters for recommending Xikers to us!

My favourite parts of this song are Yujun's part in the beginning, Yechan's rap and Hunter's part where it slows down and sounds like hard punk rock. Honestly, it's really cool that they used that old school punk/rock sound.

this song is fascinating! more than anything else I've heard from them, it sounds like you can hear stray kids as a musical influence, but the garage sound in this context, with this aesthetic, makes me think of specifically sex bob-omb from scott pilgrim

Do or Die is so good!! I get to see Xikers next month and I don’t think I’m going to survive y’all! My heart is going to give out I just know it. I’m also concerned for your well-being while watching Koong. It’s something you can never be ready for.

Yes!! Very sex bob-omb! Scott Pilgrim is my favorite movie.

Yep, I'm Liberty

This song definitely came out of left field - and the story was so much fun! My guess is that the zombies are the "die" side of things and through their lyrics and performance "What are you so scared of, just do or die", "let's get crazy, hop around and play", and "fight yourself, the only enemy is you" they convince them to come over to the "do" side and are brought back to life. Also the vocal fry? (I really don't know what that effect is called) on their voices during the song was a very interesting choice. Auto-tune is used quite frequently for effect but I don't think I've heard this particular type of voice mod used so heavily before - it's usually only when there is an "announcement" or they're mimicking a radio or something, but it definitely works with this song! This is definitely one of my most-often replayed from the EP (with the exception of Koong). FYI - when you get to that one, there is no choice - you WILL die (×_×;)

Yesss that vocal crack thing was AWESOME. Easily our favourite part XD. And as you know from the hangout, we did die. Indeed.
