Band: Purplemind
From: Garut, Indonesia
Their origin story:
"It all started with our interest in hardcore punk music, which at that time we heard a lot of positive lyrics, motivation, and a lot of emotions. From there we were moved to form a band."
Their sound in their own words:
"Our music takes huge influence from the '90s to '00s hardcore such as Champion, Gorilla Biscuits, Have Heart, No Turning Back, Second Combat, Straight Answer, any many bands. We listened to their music a lot when we started actively writing songs."
Future plans:
"In the near future, we will working with Legacy Records out of Jakarta to release an EP and music video for one of our singles. We also have a split album in the works with a hardcore punk band from Sweden we can't mention yet.
"We don't have big expectations, we just hope that the positive messages contained in our song lyrics can be read and heard by friends who enjoy the hardcore punk scene everywhere."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
