Saat mereka berkata bahwa Komunal akan menendang pantat kalian, mereka benar benar melakukan hal tersebut. Dan sebuah tendangan keras mendarat dipantat kalian segera setelah album ini terputar dan sound distorsi berat menghantam telinga anda. Apalagi dengan dukungan rekaman, mixing dan mastering yang prima.
Maka itu tanpa ragu saya akan menyatakan bahwa album ini adalah sebuah hadiah awal tahun yang begitu berbahaya. sebuah album metal stoner dari band metal favorit saya. Ya, saya perjelas lagi, bahwa album ini akan menjadi pemuas kerinduan mu akan album metal yang segar namun tetap CADAS. Bagaimana mungkinkamu yang anak metal bisa tidak menyukai lagu-lagu yang diberi judul seperi “Distorsi Mulut Setan”, “Pasukan Perang dari Rawa”, atau ‘Ilmu Tentang Racun”. Baru membaca judulnya saja, saya sudah terbayang sesuatu yang bergitu berat, sesuatu yang sangat metal dan sesuatu yang dapat memberikan suasana “stoned”
Mungkin kamu akan menggerutu tidak setuju saat saya menentukan sesuatu yang metal atau cadas hanya dari judul lagu yang ditulis. Saya mengetahui bahwa kamu lebih sering menemukan band ‘ROCK” dengan hits single berjudul menye-menye semacam “Munajat Cinta” atau “pencarian cinta” dan judul-judul patah hati lainnya. Saya katakan pada kamu, bahwa mereka semua adalah ROCKER palsu. Karena pejuang metal sejati akan selalu cadas dihati.
Ya ya ya,,, memang kalo dibandingkan dengan Black Sabbath, Pantera dan kawan-kawan metal uzur, album ini masih jauh kelasnya. Namun jelas album Komunal akan jauh lebih mudah diterima dikuping kamu wahai pemuda dan pemudi Indonesia. Karena bahasa Indonesia yang mereka gunakan tentunya lebih mudah dicerna dibandingkan bahasa ala mister mister metal yang legendaris itu.
Sebagian besar lagu dialbum ini berpotensi menjadi anthem stoner yang cocok digunakan slam danec, headbang atau trashing di moshpit, salah satu yang paling mudah diingat adalah saat mereka meneriakan ‘Rock n Roll telah mati dan kalian menyelamatkannya’ pada lagu “Manusia Baja”. ya ya ya…mungkin berhubungan dengan Manusia Baja sebuah event organizer dibalik event “godbless heavy metal” yang cukup legendaris.
Cobalah putar lagu “Distorsi Mulut Setan” dengan volume maksimal, coba perhatikan detail-detail sound, dan cara mereka mengatur tata suara. Tapi usahakan waspada akan serangan dari tetangga yang sedang sakit gigi.
Akhir kata, daripada tulisan ini jadi makin garing, lebih baik saya sudahi saja.
ps : saya rasa ada baiknya mereka tidak menggunakan lirik bahasa inggris, apalagi dengan irama musik country.

Anak muda tidak kenal lelah yang berteriak-teriak sana-sini selama dua belas lagu di album ini, membuat siapapun akan lansung membandingkan vokal riotgrrrl Karina dengan Karen O dari YYYs, atau The Kills, atau The Gossips atau Bikini Kills atau the Slits atau Le Tigre atau? masukan saja deretan vokalis Riotgrrrl dari buku Cinderela Bigscore.
Menyenangkan juga mengetahui bahwa kakak beradik bernama Karina dan Nugroho Utomo yang memainkan punkrock ugal-ugalan dengan distorsi cukup keras dan teriakan-teriakan yang memenuhi 12 lagu di album ini itu berdarah Indonesia. Dengan pola yang hampir serupa membuat album ini seperti sebuah lagu epic rock yang sangat panjang. Dan itu bukan sesuatu hal yang buruk menurut saya, bahkan sangat menarik.
Kalau kamu memang penggemar rawrocknrollpunkrock whatsoever dan suara vokal perempuan yang berteriak-teriak, dan tidak terpuaskan dengan terlalu pop nya Avril Lavigne dan terlalu hip nya YYYs, serta kamu menganggap The Slits sudah lewat masanya. Mungkin kamu bisa coba Young and Restless, dan uji ketahanan membran telinga kamu saat kamu jingkrak-jingkrak dengan volume terbesar stereoset kamu.
Dan tentu saja yang paling spesial dari band domisili Australia ini adalah Vokalis dan drummer nya bernama Karina dan Nugraha Utomo yang berdarah Indonesia (seperti sudah disebut sebelumnya). Semoga saja mereka terus menjadi besar dan menjadi idola baru band punkrock bervokalis riotgrrrl. amin,
The Secret Love Parade is a dutch indie pop band, that play a simple and decent melody about everything. And here a brief interview with the beautiful indie-pop trio.
The secret love parade
Please tell us more about your band
Aino and Janna started making music together when they were about fifteen, This summer(2007) Lara, Janna’s sister, joined the group, playing both bass and flute, Janna switched from bass to guitar, Aino learned to play the organ (among other things, though she could already sing), and we finally added some beats, to make the band complete.
The secret love parade is the result of a pretty long way of musical (and personal) development. We don’t really know why we don’t sound like the music that influences us. It’s a dreamy and sweeter variation of a lot of things. Its not that we necessarily only want to make sweet and dreamy things, but this is what comes out when we play, so you can say its close to the heart. We are influenced not only by the Beatles, but also by books, movies, in a general sense a broadening of knowledge of the beauty (and ugliness) in the world.
Share us some stories about the Dutch indie scene please.
Well, then what do you do in Holland, when you are three girls that want to make music, preferably for a lot of people? You join the indie-scene! What indiepop scene? Where’s the door? People are doors in this scene that’s mainly located around Amsterdam. I think it’s a rule that goes for every music scene: to join it, you’ll have to know people, and you’ll have to be assrtive enough to use them as doors. Or be incredibly lucky.
But you can’t count on that, so our future plans are to play a lot of gigs in Holland, and beyond. We are just getting started. We’ll explore the scene like a jungle, armed with a great album that should be out this year, and in the same time explore musice like a mountain. There will be a lot of hiking to do, but eventually we have to get somewehere.

I’m gonna write things about this album short and simple.
First, this album is much more better than their previous release. (remember a black and white cover?).
Then i would like to say that this release is for you. Boys or girls who still put the Gallagher brothers remain to stay at heart eventhought the Arctic Monkeys are the biggest british rock band now. For those who keep dancing with Primal Scream and Stone Roses while most of the young man now praise Klaxons.
This is for you. A band that recorded a rawsound with the same haircut for decades.
Buy, hear and wipe your tears away as your heart melt to find that there’s still some decent young men who still loves the 80-90s british pop era. Even if this records sounded like a demo quality of Oasis that would not even make their way into a b-sides compilation, but still these pieces are loveable at heart. as cozy as their homecity Jogjakarta.

Here what we found on myspace, a drunk voiced young girl that play guitar all by herself, a female version of Oberst but with a little bit more offpitched vocal. But her decent and heartfelt voice takes our heart even when we aren’t drunk. So we ask her some questions about her project The Wispy Hummers
Tell us more about your band’s background
Well, The Wispy Hummers really started as a way to pass the time for me (Joan J.L) while I think about what to do with my life after graduating high school. So one day in my monotonous existence, I was listening to Bob Dylan, and I thought to myself, well I could do that, and I just started writing songs from there I guess. After about six months, I had written a couple dozens songs and was pretty confused about what to do with them so before I start forgetting them one by one, I decided to record them on my computer. I put them up on myspace just because that seems like the hip thing to do and here we are.
Any future plan for The Wispy Hummers?
I am currently trying to put together a proper band because I personally can only play the guitar (not very well, I might add) and shows has been a little tedious. When that happens, I’d probably like to properly record the songs and hopefully release them in the near future. But for now, I’ll keep writing songs and playing as much shows as possible really.
If you had to describe about your music, what would that be?
I generally dislike it when people ask me what type/genre of music do I play, I prefer it when people judge that for themselves, but if I have to say I’d probably say folk pop, or along that line. The biggest influence, I would have to say is Bob Dylan, just because he is truly the coolest person ever, I think. Others would include Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith, Hank Williams, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Wilco and just people in general, everyday folks, I think influenced my songwriting the most.
Share us your top five songs in your current playlist

The Absence Of God by Rilo Kiley

Any good underated bands you know, that you thing they deserve a more proper attention?
There are too many underrated bands in music actually, but way too many overrated ones as well. So I don’t know if these bands are underrated but they’re relatively unknown in Indonesia:
Whispertown2000
The Watson Twins
The Good Life
The Elected
Fiery Furnaces
