" Grace " was one of the first hits for the South Korean electronic indie band  Adoy . The song opens their 2015 debut EP  Catnip .  In a recent interview with  Front Row Live   lead vocalist Oh Ju-hwan and keyboardist Zee talked with  Rob Herrera   while they were on their first U.S. tour.  The two musicians talked about their writing process in Adoy. Although Ju-hwan is the lead singer and sings in English, he is not fluent in conversation, so Zee often handles the English questions and translates the interview questions and answers. So why then, would a band choose to write their songs in a language their lead singer wasn't fluent in? WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME?  At   Cornerstone 2011, the year before the festival folded,  Blindside  flew from Sweden to sub-headline on Saturday, July 2nd, just before Anberlin closed out the main stage. The show was incredible. The band had just released their first album since 2007's   Black Rose EP ,    With Shivering Hearts We Wa
