It’s 31 years since Nirvana released “Nevermind” and 28 years since the death of Kurt Cobain ended their journey. Three young fans in Jakarta just couldn’t accept that the sound wouldn’t live on. Riev Hans (Guitar, Voc) I Ganz Gummy (Bass) I Piet Jo (Drums) formed PARANOID NOISE @paranoid.noise and have now all these years later have grown to be an INDONESIAN powerhouse with their original music fusing 90's grunge and rough distortion to get back to 90's era ambience and feel. This year alone they have dropped 6 insane singles onto the digital platforms - KOMODO is spinning them all, this week listen up for “Aku Trauma”.
In our email, we found the single “She's Everything (But She's Not You)” from Jakarta INDONESIA’s slightly-known pop-rock darlings RINGGO 5 @ringgo5. “This song is basically about people's bad habit of comparing their current relationship with their previous one" Sob, the cover art of the single, is SOOO sad (LOL!). Listen up, it’s spinning on KOMODO!
Heading to the far west of Asia we have stumbled across PLEIN DE VIE. @pleindevie.band, a Screamo / Post-Hardcore collective based in Ankara, Turkey, who have released their debut album ‘Koltuk Değneklerinden Kanatlar Yapmak’ (Making Wings From Crutches). It’s 5 songs about belonging, defeat, and a contradictory hope that is not lost despite everything - KOMODO is spinning them all!
As time goes by, both the spirit and the flesh gradually grow old. Listen up for Taiwanese indie band 昆蟲白INSECTEENS @insecteens, on the KOMODO turntable is 瞬間 (In a Flash). “Looking back at those beautiful but cruel youthful pasts, it has already become a major event in a small life. We gradually understand that even though life is impermanent, the emotions and love of the past are still shining in the afterglow of life, leading us to move forward”.
