---The Times---

The Band was formed on 31st August 2004 by two Brothers Naza and Mono, who are really into British mod culture and musical influences.Not long after that, Alem (ex- Nerd), Hamzah (DJ Acid Mods), and Irfan (Ex- A.C.A.B) joined the party after realizing that they have common taste and interest. The Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, Smith, Oasis and Stone Roses are among our favorites and inspiration. These are the bands that influenced us in terms of lyrics and songwriting as well as fashion and attitude… The band focus on ideas, creativity, originality and attitude… On 30 November 2004 the band released their 1st album entittled “Soda pop Rok n Rol”. The album was nominated Top 5 best new artist to Anugerah Industri Muzik Malaysia 2005. an elegantly noisy pop celebration. By now their live shows were being talked of as something very special and they’d built an extensive, committed fan base. That’s the history. Now in 2007 we have release our new records ” NADA MELANKOLIK MALAYA” its a new benchmark for indie rock music with originality and fresh sound. Times are marching to new sound of melancholy.

Cheer out Loud....Estranged



The band held their first ever live show in 2001 at TwelveSI. The band has also gone through many changes to its line-up, including original lead guitarist Adzrai departing to further his studies. New grunge-influenced guitarist, Hanafi replaces him. Estranged participated in the "Yamaha Asian Beat Competition" in 2001, finishing 2nd runners-up for the competition.

The album includes 10 English tracks, and 1 Malay track. Their first single 'Velocity' started receiving airplay in June 2005, followed by the second single 'Chocolate Syrup'.

'PESAWAT' or should we call it aeroplane.

The-four-men and one little brother blossom into music together since 2005. The bi-lingual singing band labelled their music ... more as Indie Rock with a Post-punk edge. Following up the success of their 1st single "Mirage", the band released another 4 singles until the day they launch the debut album called TAKE OFF. And this is not the end of it ... So HA bloody HA!

-BitterSweet-

 Bittersweet, the combo named after that popular Verve song, were one of the first to rush out of the gates from their hometown of Ipoh – Malaysia’s spiritual indie rock haven – to standout and be embraced by both the fashion-rock intelligentsia as well as hundreds of thousands raggedy indie kids. The regional fringe scene, the band’s peers and their mobs of fans recognise how Bittersweet have passionately and tastefully combined Malay pop yeh yeh sensibilities with Madchester and Britpop cues, absorbed from their teenage years, to become South East Asia’s “new favourite band” for hipsters in the years since they started in 2004. indie rock observers are already anticipating it to be the best British album ever made in Malaysia.

 Influenced by a diverse range of bands which include the likes of The Strokes, Butterfingers, and even Pot Amir Radiostaq (ROSIN), Hujan prefers to classify their music as alternative rock and has no qualms about delivering their material in Malay. Living and breathing the element they take their name after, their music alternates between the light, heavy and the torrential storm a reflection of the many stories, moods and agendas embedded in their songs. They sing about everything from love, God, family and to the happenings of the world.
