from the evolution of pioneer rocker-rocker as a 70s-era predecessors. Call it like God
Bless, Gang Pegangsaan, Gypsy (Jakarta), Giant Step, Super Kid
(Bandung), Terncem (Solo), AKA / SAS (Surabaya), Bentoel (Malang) to
rawe Rontek of Banten. They are the first generation of rockers
Indonesia. The term itself
is already used underground current magazine since the beginning of the
era of 70 - an. The term is used music and lifestyle
magazine pioneer from Bandung was to identify the bands that play loud
music in a more 'wild' and `extreme 'for the size of his era. And
to be honest, the songs played by the bands mentioned above are not the
work of their own songs, but to the foreign bands kind of Deep Purple,
Jefferson Airplane, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Kansas,
Rolling Stones to ELP . This counterproductive
tradition that his name had made history on the national stage. Call it like El Pamas, Grass Rock (Malang), Power Metal

to the birth of the first rock record label in Indonesia, Logiss
Records. The first product label is the
third album God Bless, "Ant Black" was released in 1988 and sold up to
400,000 records in Indonesia.
Towards the end of the '80s, around the world
at that time young people are experiencing fever thrash metal music. A development of the musical style that is
more extremes more than heavy metal. Bands that became his gods
such as Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Megadeth, Kreator, Sodom, Anthrax to
Sepultura. Most large cities in Indonesia such as Jakarta, Bandung,
Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Malang to Bali, scene undergroundnya first born of
the extreme music genre. In Jakarta alone metal community first appeared in public in
early 1988. Community
child metal (the term was not yet popular underground) was used to hang
out at the Pid Pub, a small pub in the shopping area Pondok Indah, South
Jakarta. According to Krishna J.
Sadrach, frontman Sucker Head,
besides hanging out, kids who hang out there by Aunt Esther, owner Pid
Pub, given the opportunity to get a gig there. Every night of the week there is usually always a live show
of the new bands in the Pid Pub and most bands that carry the rock or

after guitarist cabutnya Sucker Head, Irvan Sembiring Sucker Head feels
the concept of music was still less extreme for him.
The
spirit that brought its predecessors is still struggling old school
`traditional pattern ', proud to be the band's cover version! Among them all, only the
lucky Roxx recording for their first single, "Rock echo". This happens because they are one of the finalists
Festival Rock Indonesia Se-to-V. Get a
recording contract from the label is obsession is too much time. Instead of recording, demo recordings can be
played on the radio they are happy. At that time a regular radio
station aired music rock / metal is the Bahamas Radio, Radio Metro Jaya
and SK Radio. From some of the radio is
probably the most legendary Mustang Radio. They have a program called Rock N 'Rhythm
which airs every Wednesday night from 19.00 - 21.00. This radio station even disatroni directly by the Brazilian

and Metallica (1993) gives considerable contribution to the development
of a type of metal bands in Indonesia. Not long after Sepultura successful "burn" the Jakarta and
Surabaya, speed metal band Roxx released self-titled debut album under
the label they Blackboard. This
cassette album would be one of the Indonesian classic speed metal album
of the 90s era. The same thing is also experienced by the rotor. Metallica phenomenally successful opening concert for two

classmates. After the major local label, Aquarius Musikindo, just at the
beginning of 1995 they released the album 'The Head Sucker'. Sucker Head Until now there were already released four albums.
Of
such a long journey underground rock in the country, perhaps in the
first half of the new 90-anlah started many scenes formed underground in
the real sense in Indonesia. In Jakarta alone consolidation massive metal scene centered in
Block M in early 1995. At that time most of the
kids metal is often seen hanging out on the 6th floor game center Blok M
Plaza and at a famous restaurant franchise there. Their activities
other than hang out is the exchange of information about local bands and
international, CD barter, buying and selling t-shirts metal to plan for
organizing the concert. Some others choose to hang out in the basement of Block
Mall which happened to be located underground.
In this era of massive
hype metal music is loved the more extreme subgenre of death metal,
brutal death metal, grindcore, black metal to gothic / doom metal. Some
bands are more glossy name in this era is Grausig, Trauma, Aaarghhh,
Skull, Delirium Tremens, Corporation of Bleeding, Adaptor, Betrayer,

the title 'It's A Proud To Vomit Him'. The album was recorded in a professional manner
at Studio Triple M, Jakarta with sound engineer Harry Widodo (previously

1996 also had
recorded the birth of the first underground music fanzine in Jakarta,
brainwashed zine. The first edition appeared brainwashed

development of underground rock in Jakarta. Exactly on that day indie music event held for the first
time in Poster Café. The
event called "Underground Session" is held every other week on a weekday

Scene Punk / Hardcore / Brit
/ Indie Pop
Invasion music grunge / alternative and
the release of the album Kiss This Sex Pistols in 1992 was enough to
trigger a powerful tool in delivery of new bands that do not play metal
music. For
example, the community band Pestol Aer Young Offender beginning their
work often cover Sex Pistols songs complete with dress-up and punk
haircut mohawknya. Interestingly, the next trip, circa 1994, Aer Pestol then
change the direction of their music into the band that brought the genre
of british / indie pop a la The Stone Roses. It is said that
this historic event became a significant moment for the development of
the british scene / indie pop in Jakarta. Before disbanding, in mid-1997, they had released their
debut album titled `... Jang Doeloe '. Early generations of brit pop
scene include the band's Hospital, Wondergel, Planet Earth, Orange,
Jellyfish, Hairpins, Room-V, Parklife to Death Goes To The Disco.
Aer Pestol was not the first punk band, the capital city in
1989 had spawned punk / hardcore pioneers who often plays Antiseptic

addition to frequent gigs in Jakarta, Antiseptic also had a gig at the
legendary rockfest Bandung, Hullabaloo II in late 1994. Antiseptic own debut album
titled 'Finally' new release eight years later (1997) by DIY There are also alternative bands like Ocean that play a la
Jane's Addiction and others, unfortunately they could not release the
tape.
In addition, in early 1990, Jakarta
also print punk rock band The Idiots that originally duets cover songs
of The Exploited. Not much different from Antiseptic, just nine years
later, The Idiots released their debut album titled 'Living Comfort In
Anarchy' via indie label Movement Records. Communities punk / hardcore are mushrooming in
Jakarta in the era of the 90s. In
addition to Young Offender community before, there are also communities

Semi-People in Duren Sawit, Brotherhood in Slipi, Locos in Blok M to SID
Gank in Rawamangun.

London Scene
In early 1994
there were around London music studio which became the forerunner of the
legendary underground rock scene there. His name Studio
Reverse Sukasenang located in the area. The establishment of this studio was conceived by Richard Mutter
(then drummer PAS) and Helvi. When growing Reverse
then expanded its business by opening distribution (acronym of
distribution) that sell CDs, tapes, posters, t-shirts, and many other
imported accessories. Apart from distribution, Richard also had formed an independent
label 40.1.24 that their first release in 1997 is a compilation CD
titled "Masaindahbangetsekalipisan." Indie bands who participated in
this compilation include Burger Kill, Puppen, Papi, Rotten To The Core, Full of Hate and Waiting Room, as the only band

Bands
that had been raised by the community Reverse between PAS and Puppen. PAS alone
in 1993 made history as the first Indonesian band released the album
independently. Their mini-album titled "Four Through The SAP" sold a 5000
tape a short amount of time. Mastermind who gave birth to the idea of releasing
the album independently PAS is a (late) Samuel Marudut. He was Music Director of
Radio GMR, a rock radio station in Indonesia, which often play a
recording demos amateur rock bands from Bandung, Jakarta and surrounding
areas. Tragically,
in early 1995 Marudut found dead at the residence of Krishna lifeless
Sucker Head in Jakarta. To his
surprise, his death, according to Krishna, accompanied by the song The
End from the album Best of The Doors who dialed the tape in the room

Saturday with a self-titled album. The album was later
assisted by Hai Magazine promotion. Kubik also experienced the same thing, by way of a bonus 3
track cassette album before release.
A
little to the east, still in London as well, we'll find a community
that became the epicenter of underground metal in there, Berung Edge
community. Previously
in this area could stand a lot of studios Palapa raising meritorious
underground bands rock body, Forgotten, Sacrilegious, Sonic Torment,
Morbus Corpse, Tympanic Membrane, Infamy, Burger Kill and so on. Here, then, in early 1995 the
first music fanzine published in Indonesia named Revograms Zine. Dinan editor, Sonic Torment is
a vocalist who has a unique single titled "Talking Machete". Revograms Zine was recorded three times and all of the
material appeared to discuss contents bands metal / hardcore local and
international.
Then shortly afterwards indie fanzine like
Swirl, Thirteen, Burning Borders, and others enliven indie media. Ripple and
Trolley emerged as a subculture magazine that discusses trends Bandung
lifestylenya jug. Trolley bankrupt in 2002, while Ripple magazine pocket change
from the standard magazine format. While generally
photocopied fanzine is still continue to exist. He cried in Dublin not only advanced extreme music
but also indie pop scene. Since Pure Saturday came, the indie pop or
alternative bands, like Cherry Bombshell, Sieve, White Rice up to date
as the Milo, Mocca, Homogenic. Similarly, the
ska scene actually existed long before the big ska trend. Bands like Noin Bullet and Agent Skins have long
carried this musical genre.
