Bandung-based Punk Rock trio, PLUNK , officially released their debut album "Limus" at the end of February 2025, signaling their serious commitment to making a mark in Indonesia’s music industry. Formed in early 2024 and becoming active later that year, Plunk — consisting of Eps (vocals, guitar), Tono (drums), and Yots (bass) — has quickly captured attention with their fresh approach to punk rock. Their December 2024 debut single, "Am I Crazy," generated buzz and set the stage for what was to come. The release of "Limus" on February 28, 2025 , is a major milestone for the band.

Indonesian Hardcore Punk band MAKMUR has just completed their latest single, "Sistem Yang Salah," on April 23, 2025. This powerful track voices the band's disapproval as civilians against government actions, aligning themselves with students and demonstrators who oppose legislative drafts that do not represent the people's interests. In "Sistem Yang Salah," MAKMUR boldly rejects the government's proposed revisions to the military bill (Rancangan Undang-Undang TNI), which they believe neglect the rights and welfare of ordinary citizens. This release follows their first single, "Genosida," which debuted on October 6, 2024. "Genosida" is a fierce dedication to fellow musicians and all those continuing the fight for Palestinian freedom. With sharp, politically charged lyrics, a dynamic musical arrangement, and a signature aggressive vocal delivery, the track made a strong impact on listeners. Their combination of anthemi...

Malang, 2025 — Punk rock trio JAMAL has just dropped their latest single, “Hey, Juwita!” — a feral and obsessive love anthem that serves as a fiery prelude to their upcoming EP, set for release mid-year. Unlike sweet or tender love songs, “Hey, Juwita!” captures the raw, fast, and uncontrollable side of falling in love — a story drawn from real life. Inspired by a close friend’s instant infatuation with a mesmerizing girl spotted at a crowded gig — not seeking attention, yet effortlessly commanding the room — JAMAL channels that dangerous, spellbinding energy into their latest track. Fueled by raw, fast, and aggressive punk rock, with chaotic garage rock influences, “Hey, Juwita!” explodes with uncontainable passion. Here, love isn’t rational — it’s intoxicating, as if enchanted by mystical forces. The visual side of the release is just as gripping. Collaborating with visual artists @tekateky and @___bhisink, JAMAL breathes new life into traditional mystical symbols...

In a bold and electrifying move, PluckDown has emerged as a new force in the rapcore scene. Created by Luis Fernando — the visionary, composer, and producer behind the project — this explosive one-man-band was born in mid-2024 with a daring mission: to serve as a raw, authentic expression of his soul and faith. Breaking away from the traditional band setup, Luis chose a solo path to ensure complete creative freedom, transforming his emotions, questions, and beliefs into powerful music. The name PluckDown carries deep symbolism, meaning “to pull up from below, to be the outstretched hand for the fallen and the desperate.” It reflects a refuge of hope, safety, and salvation — values deeply rooted in the project's artistic identity. Musically, PluckDown is a fierce sonic fusion of rap, rock, metal, and hardcore, drawing inspiration from legends such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, Rodox, Rage Against the Machine, Fruto Sagrado, and Transboard — with Rodox standing ...
