(news-trailer) THE PIT presents… ‘A Punk Daydream’ : Punk is not dead in Indonesia!

Leave a comment

After already persenting some amazing movies and documentaries on the platforms with ‘RocKabul’ or ‘Soaring Highs And Brutal Lows’, THE PIT (aka the first ever SVOD platform dedicated to the ROCK & METAL universe), unveiled a new astonishing content with ‘A Punk Daydream’, available right now on the platform.

 This documentary is a portrait of the largest Muslim Punk community in the world, as seen through the eyes of Punk teenagers, in relation to the extreme social, environmental and political environment they live in.

Punk is not dead in Indonesia. There is more at stake than ever. The young street punks in this film are shunned by society and risk incarceration for their appearance. With the Dayak people as their example, they fight for their homeland and against corruption and hypocrisy

Untitled-1

Time Apart are hc/punk band from Malang, Indonesia. On February 2020, Time Apart released a single and music video titled HOMECOMING. Broadly speaking, the lyrics of this single tell about a longing for a friend and at the same time express nausea towards the reality that happened.

The fierce, fast guitar riffs that are the hallmark of Time Apart music peppered with melody can bring listeners to feel anger and sad at the same time.

Wow! I think this is the first time for a band from Indonesia to grace the pages of our zine. The Battlebeats just released their debut e.p. and it is a blast! This is in fact a one man band but it loses no momentum having only one person at the controls. This e.p contains 6 songs one of them being a cover by the Japanese band called Teengenerate.  The Battlebeats play a fine mixture of raw and fast punk with some garage punk elements like in I´m Just A Piece Of Shit. I love more the straight forward fast punk songs like You Stabbed Me In The Back or The Got Mad At Me. In all, this is such a fine debut e.p. with quality punk songs and I am glad having listened to this one and presented it for our zine.
