This is a little something to bring attention to the local music scene that more and more young artists are tapping into these days. I dropped by Jimi's school some time ago and they were having a band gig thing, SMK HardKore with several underground bands performing.

A band with Rock in mind for the genre and very fun members. The band is from Sri Garden and is a relatively new member to the local scene. They're not very experienced but they can handle a crowd quite well. Reps from this band are Nick and Billy.

This band is also relatively new, plays mostly hardcore rock and so on. They focus more on the music rather than the vocals, but they have definitely made a good impression on their instrumental skills. However, Salt Factory is not the band's name, the band members have yet to decide on a permanent name. The rep's name is Panjang.

This band seems to be quite active in the local underground scene, and they even managed to belt out Avril Lavigne's hit song, Girlfriend pretty well. They're quite experienced and handle a crowd pretty well. The rep from this rockin' group is Acap.

Civil Disorder seems to be the most experienced and popular band with the crowd, for good reason. Again, music plays a big role with the group and some of its members has not had any formal lesson, but are self taught. Which is rare for a band of such raw talent. This group has already come out with a self-produced album, and some of their hits have already been circulating the airwaves via Fly.fm. The album can be ordered through moi. However, I encourage y'all to wait for the more professional recording which will be available soon. Rep is Khairul "Spanky".

All the bands above have their unique style and representation, and I have already gotten permission from the reps of the bands to allow Cempaka to interview them as well as have a LIVE performance in the broadcasting studio over at the Cheras campus.

So go take a look at these bands by utilizing Google or something.
