band local

masuk new year ni, rmai yg menge-post-kan new year's resolution.
aq juge x laen dan x asing, akan meng-post-kan this year's resolutions... eventhough the success rate of them to ever be realised is next to impossible...
hey, but ape salahnye mencube kan?
but today's post will not be about what i hope to achieve this year...
that will come in the next post,we'll c how it goes..

i would like to tell you about what i have discovered about local bands nowadays.

to tell you the truth, i was never really a big fan of local artists.
with the exception of a few artists like ella,m.nasir,innuendo,OAG and spider and a few others...
i'm ashamed to admit this, and i know some may look down on me or 'pandang senget' or 'look zig-zag' at me for having known this shameful fact about myself....

hey, i loooove p.ramlee and saloma and alley cat.
totally have a collection of their Cd's in my mom's car.
it's not as if i'm totally against local music or local artists.
it's more like...i have your parents' taste in regards of local music. that's all.

but anyways, i know this cannot justify my act of not really listening to local songs all these years with the exception of those mentioned above.

give me a chance to redeem myself
because............

i think i'm beginning to like local bands.

really.
it all started when my brother downloaded one whole 1,2,3,GO album of Hujan in 2007.
he told me to listen to it, and yeah,
i fell in love with it.
i love Hujan, i really do~

and then in 2008,
azreen told me to listen to estrella.

cool.

i have always loved indie rock band.
i just never thought that an indie local band
could sound not half as bad as all the other brit indie rock band
like Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes,Arctic Monkeys,The Strokes, etc etc..



my latest obsession now
is going to myspace music
and checking out all the not-quite-likely-to-be-heard-of-many-people bands in malaysia.


try YUNA and RADIOSTAR.


for some reason, i cannot find RADIOSTAR anywhere.
the only two songs of theirs i have in my handphone are only because ikram gave it to me.
it seems this girl who used to be the lead singer in his band is now going big, and collaborated with one of the singers in innuendo who decided to form his own band called,the name mentioned above.
anyways, i'm sure a year or two from now their songs will be played in all the local stations. good luck u guys~ make us proud of local bands.
i wish the best for you...^^



this is more like it.
i am now so proud of our local bands because they, too, can be just as good as Brit bands and american bands.
Pop Shuvit is sooo famous in Japan, i think more so than in Malaysia.
and in my opinion, that's very very good.
our local bands are going international but i think what's more important is that we support them too.
you think Linkin Park got filthy famous without trying?
they too, were just some unheard of whats-its-name underground band until they finally landed a mega record deal and released a kick-ass album after a few trying years.



well, nuff rumblings for now.
but, you know, like what the ad in Hitz.fm said,

"Come support our local band~"
