Meet indie band Run River North, a group formed back in 2011 as a "conversation for immigrant family kids to talk about, or just to have some kind of space" to share their family histories, according to lead singer Alex Hwang.

The band, originally called Monsters Calling Home, gained national attention when they were offered a spot by Honda to play on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in 2012 after producing a music video they filmed in one of the band members' cars. Four years later — plus two albums and additional featured spots on late night television (most recently on "Late Night with Seth Meyers") — the group remains dedicated to sharing their music and their stories.

"Take Back" is a five-part series on "NBC Asian America Presents...," a digital video channel that will feature original content centered around themes and voices found in Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. "NBC Asian America Presents..." videos can also be watched on NBC Asian America's Facebook page, NBC News' official YouTube channel, and the NBC News app available on mobile devices, Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV.
