LP [1]

JALANG - Santau LP (2021) - Jalang (formerly Lái) play fast-paced and danceable D-beat punk, propelling the band’s ferocious vocals into the face of the listener. Vocalist Alda’s lyrics are delivered in Bahasa Indonesia and English, engaging with both her own and collective narratives that explore politics, religion, feminism and queer rights in South East Asia, and the diaspora in so-called Australia. Timmy (Extinct Exist, Pisschrist, Schifosi) on guitar and Tessa (Ubik, Masses) on bass were joined by Kyle (Sheer Mag) on drums in 2021.

"Jalang" in Bahasa Indonesia is one of those ‘odd’ words: when describing the masculine it means wild, feral, undomesticated; while for feminine figures it translates as promiscuous, slutty or evil — something the band aims to reclaim as a mark of feminine pride. Jalang invokes the band members’ diasporic and queer narratives through hardcore punk, mixing ideas and personal experiences that often inter-connect but also continue to conflict with the world around us.

Recorded by Jason Fuller (Goatsound) at Tender Trap Studios in Melbourne, Santau is 11 tracks of incandescent punk energy from this supergroup of Melbourne underground music, tackling real world issues of politics, power and protest. Next-level musical performances, inspirational song writing and the relentless fury of Alda’s vocals combine to produce one of the most intelligent, crucial and viscerally exciting Australian punk releases in years.

JALANG are: Alda (Vocals), Timmy (Guitar & Vocals), Tessa (Bass) & Kyle (Drums)

Recorded & Mixed by Jason Fuller (Goatsound) at Tender Trap Studio. Mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door.

LP [2]

LÁI 来 - Pontianak LP (2020) - Lái 来 forged an absolute menacing fusion of raging swedish d-beat and manic old school hardcore punk. Imagine G.L.O.S.S. on a rampage with TOTALITÄR.

Based in Melbourne, Australia the Band is made up by members of the mighty Pisschrist, UBIK, Masses, Ritual Blood and ExtinctExist. With lyrics sung in Bahasa Indonesian as well as English, Lái explore politics, religion, feminism and queer rights in South East Asia and the diaspora. The name of the band is taken from a Chinese Mandarin phrase meaning 'to come/next.' and Lái invoke these diasporic identities and themes through punk, mixing ideas and personal experiences that often inter-connect but also continue to conflict in the world around us.

Mastered at Enormousdoor Mastering. Artwork by Ishtar Mazikeen. This album includes a digital download voucher as well as a 16 pages booklet including lyrics, artwork and explanations of song lyrics.
