“Ziyue Band has brought an exciting sound to Chinese rock music. Their potential is enough to prove that they are truly outstanding. They do not show despair or even criticism in their works, they just express A touch of sadness, but greater sadness and imagination are left to the listener, giving the listener a space for association."
