Jalang - Cops N Klan

  A proper throat ripper today from Jalang (https://www.facebook.com/jalangdbeat/), a D-Beat 4 piece from Naarm (Melbourne) featuring Alda (vocals), Timmy (guitar and backing vocals), Tessa (bass) and Kyle (drums). They used to be called Lái 来 before changing their name to what they say is "one of those “odd” word in Bahasa Indonesia; when applies to masculine figures — it means “wild, feral, undomesticated” ; while for feminine figures it automatically translate as “whores // slut” — obviously a ridiculous (:sexist) cultural fact that we want to reclaim!" Jalang was also one of the songs from their Pontianak LP (https://laipunk.bandcamp.com/album/pontianak) that was inspired by a poem made by an Indonesian anti colonial poet; Chairil Anwar. 

  They've an album coming out on July 23rd which tackles real world issues of politics, power and protest. It'll be titled Santau and if it's anything like the teaser track you'll find below it'll be something special. It'll be available on ltd edition coloured vinyl and digital download and you can pre order it here : https://jalang.bandcamp.com/releases
