The Hu on creating Hunnu Rock and going viral | Rebellious Noise

Scott sits down with Gala from the Mongolian Rock band The Hu to talk about their unique style and huge viral hits with the help of band manager Tuga translating in English and Mongolian. Gala talks about the heavy metal influences behind Hunnu Rock, their upcoming debut album, how the band's first two music videos went viral and fans learning how to sing along to their songs in Mongolian.
Plus, Gala lets us know which Rock Icon he would pick to replace him in The Hu if he ever couldn't make it to a show.
This interview was filmed in London ahead of the bands first ever UK and European Tour.

It's amazing when you hear what he can do on stage and here he is so quietly spoken.

[@YourShadowKeeper]

To me, it seems like the mic's they're holding weren't turned on/plugged in or they are broken because the majority of the sound seems to be picked up from a mic nowhere near Tuga or Gala. Which could be why Gala sounds so incredibly quiet in this interview when normally he's not this quiet.

[@RebNoise]

Thank you for your kind words Jessica! We’ve got plenty more interviews on this channel so hopefully you’ll find some more interesting questions :)

[@lorriemiller6750]

The hilarious part is nobody it seems has caught on yet that the people doing the translating are all his relatives who are bilingual saying random things and then saying the improvised things that sound like he answered the question when they give the answer in English. This shows how they could be saying absolutely anything in Mongolian and those who only speak and understand English are absolutely clueless because they don't bother ever learning to speak anything else especially white Americans or so it seems anyway. I keep noticing this in all of the interviews they do with English being used in translation because they can and it shows they have a definite sense of humor.

[@KrisH-kp9vx]

These guys ROCK! I am an "aged" musician and extremely disappointed in most of the new music coming out this last decade. Very few have caught my attention that has heart, beat, drive and soul (in fact only two). That would be The Hu and Liliac. Baby Metal is a trend. I don't do trends. I do feel. The Hu makes me feel. Well done on the interview. And very well done on The Hu!

[@bugsybugs2253]

Wow, he sounds so gentle and placid. You wouldn't think he has a booming deep and grungy voice when he sings. Just LOVE them!!!😍😍😍😍

[@boldbaljmaa2660]

I have never been a fan to anything and didn’t care of rock or metal! But The Hu made me a die hard fan for it. It brings out my frustration, anger and all other raw emotions with Mongolian government who betrayed his own people and proud ancestry for over the last 20 years. This resonates with everybody around the world especially during this tumultuous time. Please keep your music pure, your soul clean, stay away from all the wrong influences that fame brings on to you, guys! I listen to the HU everyday thinking, daydreaming, and sometimes crying about my dearest home country from far away. Long live The HU!!!!!

Their music is growing on my husband but for me{Brenda} I was hooked on the first few notes.

[@JamesBrown-wo2qj]

This band popped up in my KZbin feed because I am always looking for unique international metal bands that incorporate their culture and musical traditions into their music, and...WOW. Just like the interviewer said...immediately hooked. Their music has an almost tribal or primal feel to it that just reaches down into your soul and just grabs you and holds you. Love it, love it, love it...and want more!

A pop-culture highlight of the last 8 months or so for me has been from first watching Yuve Yuve Yu when it had maybe 1.5 million views (thanks KZbin Recommends)... up until now, the present. Watching the rise of the HU has been so great, so satisfying and so much fun. So many times bands that should get heard, don't. These guys deserve all the attention they're getting. I have been ranting and raving and telling everyone I know about this band ever since I first heard them. Stoked for them. And for us, the fans. This is just what Rock and Roll needed. Awesome. HU!
