TRAX (band)
TRAX |
|---|
The TRAX is a four member Korean rock band formed in the summer of 2004 by SM Entertainment and produced by Yoshiki of X-Japan. The name "TRAX" stands for "recording tracks," but also stands the first letter of each member's stage name (Typhoon of the Rose Attack on X-mas). The band made their first public appearance for BoA's eleventh single "Rock With You."
The TRAX is active in both South Korea and Japan. However, the band is not widely recognized in South Korea because the rock genre does not play a big role in the Korean music scene.
On May 10, 2006, Avex announced on their official website that Rose left The TRAX to pursue other interests. Despite Rose's absence, The TRAX continues to work as a threesome with support drummer(s).
