Indo-Jap! Chính-xác-ly!
KOMODO broadcasts ONLY ASIAN ALTERNATIVE and INDEPENDENT commercial-free 24x7 365!
There is this unique alt-rock genre that KOMODO (and our sister radio station @radiovolcano.bali) keeps stumbling across in INDONESIA. We think we should give it an official title, let’s call it INDO-JAP (how about I-J for short)! It’s INDONESIAN bands that play in JAPAN’s J-Rock style. Some of these bands sing in Japanese, but more typically they stick to the English or Indonesian language. Let’s feature one of them!….
COFFEE STRIKES⚡コーヒーストライキ @coffeestrikes are so cool they have a lightning bolt in their name, but more important is that they play the most insanely great INDO-JAP. Jakarta-influenced JPOP, JROCK, and JMETAL are all in their repertoire with their core speciality playing anime soundtrack style! The guys have just released an EP, and KOMODO is spinning it, listen up this week for the track “Let Me” (WOW, 素敵, and to be honest we are left wondering if COFFEE STRIKES is actually BON-JOVI playing J-Rock style!).
SINGAPORE’s coolest pop-punkers PATHETIC ORDINARY @patheticordinary.sg are back on the KOMODO poster for an encore performance. This time they have gone totally Gameboy and Nintendo 64. Collecting mushrooms and dodging the barrels they are out with the single “Abandon”. Far from being pathetic or ordinary, it’s a HIGH SCORE, and yep, it’s spinning this week!
In CHINA’s mountainous ANHUI province, we have found NO ONE 乐队. Are they on Instagram? Maybe not, so let’s tag their label @modernsky_official. Just out is their EP “等下光达” (“Waiting for Guangda” or perhaps a better translation is “Waiting for the Light”). It’s an interesting collection of songs exploring Chinese social issues, including the era of unsustainable consumption and class conflict. Listen up, KOMODO is playing “捡风筝的人” (The Kite Picker).
Chính-xác-ly! Exactly-exactly-ly! Yep, the manic skate punkers from Saigon, VIETNAM, 9XACLY @9xacly are getting some KOMODO love! We know nothing about them and have never spoken to them, but their new single “Quơi!” (Wow!) has landed in our studio. Let’s get it spinning!
Our featured artists are all playing in KATIE’s @katkills & JONGO’s @jongo_on_air shows this week. PLUS, you can hear POSTER acts uninterrupted, back-to-back daily at 0600 & 1800 Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, 0330 & 1530 Delhi, and 0200 & 1400 Dubai.
