From Kuta, Bali, they're the first Indonesian band I've added. Possibly unsurprisingly, they play a "surfy" kind of pop punk music and are influenced by the likes of The Queers, Screeching Weasel, The Ventures, Dick Dale and Link Wray.

There's also an album called Freaks From The Other Side Of The World (you can get it here : http://www.ramonetothebone.info/2014/06/the-sneakers-freaks-from-other-side-of.html ). Here's the single.........
