SERINGAI - High Octane Rock!

Early 2002, Jakarta, Indonesia. After a year disbanding his legendary hardcore outfit for 10 years, Puppen, vocalist Arian13 [Puppen, Aparatmati] and old time friends, drummer Khemod [from Bandung thrash grinders, Aparatmati] and guitarist Ricky [from Jakarta's finest hardcore band, Stepforward] founded SERINGAI ['grin' in Indonesian]. Fueled by a desire to play a blend between Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Slayer, MC5, they began to jam together after bassist Toan joined.


SERINGAI was already in the habit of constantly writing songs, and playing small gigs in Jakarta and Bandung. Anthem songs like “Alkohol” [alcohol] and “Membakar Jakarta” [burning Jakarta], are the crowd's favorites. SERINGAI became more popular and the shows were beer-soaked and the sing along, slamdancing, stagediving never stops. Shortly thereafter, Toan left the band, and was replaced by Sammy. The band recorded 9 songs including a cover of Black Flag's “Jealous Again”, and released High Octane Rock EP in 2004 in tape format on their own label, Parau. Many shows in support of the tape, and without proper promotion they have sold about 15.000 copies of High Octane Rock EP. They even got offered to write songs for local movie soundtrack, teenage flick Catatan Akhir Sekolah and horror flick 12:00AM, both movies was also a success. Their fanbase grows bigger, and named themselves 'serigala seringai' or, Seringai's wolfpack. Their fans also varied, ranged from 15 years kids to 40 years old school rock fans. In 2005, the CD version is released. The CD version was highly anticipated, and with different and exclusive artwork, it has sold 2000 copies in just 2 month. This time, the CD was distributed by Off The Records/Universal Music Indonesia.

Playing from club gigs to stadium festivals, SERINGAI never failed to impress people with their sound, energetic live show, and antics. In 2007 SERINGAI released their full length, Serigala Militia, which acclaimed high praises from mainstream and underground press. The album itself shows maturity but still gaining high impact of the heavy rock blend that’s been a trademark from the band. Songs like “Mengadili Persepsi [Bermain Tuhan]”, “Amplifier”, “Citra Natural” becomes crowd’s favorite anthem, more experimental/doom metal song like “Marijuanaut” is another expanded songwriting from the band. Serigala Militia was the best rock album in 2007-2008, an album without filler.

 
Now SERINGAI is gearing up for their second album, and also in the process of editing their own home video, Generasi Menolak Tua, which consists interviews with the band, fans, high profile music journalists, and a lot of live footage, videos, and road mayhem. This year, SERINGAI is scheduled for those releases and a lot of shows, meaning it will be an exciting and interesting year for the band and of course, real heavy, high octane fueled rock fans.

Rocket Rockers - College Punk!

 

Started in 1999. Our strongest line up are: Al Kautsar (vocal), Aska Pratama (guitar/vocal), Bisma Aria Nugraha (bass), Rizky Fadli (guitar), Khrisna a.k.a Ozom (Drums). First was our all time favorites; the 80s new wave acts; The Cure, Alphaville, OMD, Nena, Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, Duran-Duran, The Police, Joy Division etc. Second were what in our CD player recently; Pulley, Lagwagon, Weezer, Pearl Jam, NOFX, Pennywise, Reggie & The Full Effects, etc. We have 8 compilations and 2 full albums, now were preparing for our 3rd album. Our first album Soundtrack For Your Life was putting out by Off The Records (an independent label from our hometownBandung) which has been sold more than 20.000 copies, and our 2nd album (Ras Bebas) now in major debut with Sony/BMG Indonesia and recently it was sold about 45.000 copies. .. .. 

We've been on skatepark tour all year with VOLCOM Indonesia, and play high school/college shows as many as possible. We've also opened Skin Of Tears show (punk rock from Germany), MXPX, The Ataris. Anyhow, we are sponsored by the greatest skate/surf companies ever, Volcom and also some awesome brands like College Star, Peter Says Denim and Macbeth. .. .. Surprisingly, in 2006 Susan Dynner a director of Punk's Not Dead The Movie contact us and she told us that we will take a part of that documentary movie. Yes, we are the only one of Indonesian band in Punk's Not Dead The Movie, with big punk bands like Green Day, Nofx, Minor Threat, Blink 182 etc. That was rad! .. .. Actually it was like laying a big bet for playing punk rock music here and try to make a living out of it. Playing in a punk rock band or being a part of the (so-called) cutting edge is a super hard job. We have to try super hard to convince corporate people who have the money that we can add values to their business. Somehow, in the early days, the kids still feel strange to what we play. But we believe that we can pass this test and have a big smile in the end. 

Finally, after constant powering up grassroots activities, local TV, MTV Indonesia and radio are starting to recognize us and airplay our things. Thanks for the early believers. .. .. In 2008, we resign from Sony Music for any reasons. And we started our own label called; Reach & Rich Records to realese our 3rd album: Better Season. Yes, we sell it by our self with d.i.y ethic and the respon was great. National television always booked us to perform. Now we're on our way to release our 4th album. Btw, our preview song "Lost Heart Tour" was in the 1st chart of Top Downloads in www.purevolume.com for 3 days. .. .. 

Our recent goal was big, hairy and scary; we want to change the face of music industry in our country. Were trying to write down the path for newer bands that they can reach their dreams if they work for it. Its like providing an intellectual property so that new young creative bands with hard work attitude wont reinventing the wheel. We would like to see more kids start to wear band tshirt, start to skate and believe on their passion to live their own things. Its important to see kids which getting into more creative hype and do their best for their life and gives something back to their community. Thats what great American bands do for a living, and it inspires us so much.
