지금까지 means until now, up to now, or so far.
In this sentence, it sets the time frame as from some point in the past up to the present. It does not just mean now; it emphasizes everything that has happened leading up to now.
So it gives the sentence a sense like:
- so far
- up to this point
- until now
의 marks a relationship similar to 's or of in English.
So:
- 이 밴드 = this band
- 이 밴드의 노래 = this band’s songs / the songs of this band
It shows that the songs belong to or are associated with the band.
In everyday Korean, 의 is sometimes omitted when the meaning is still clear, but in a phrase like this, keeping it is very natural and clear.
Korean nouns usually do not have to show singular vs. plural the way English does.
So 노래 can mean:
- a song
- songs
- music/songs in general
In this sentence, it naturally refers to the band’s songs in general, so English often translates it as songs.
You could add a plural marker like 노래들, but that is usually unnecessary here.
