Starstruck: Jo.
Wow it's been a while since I wrote something in this website. A million apology to The Boss for not being a good crew for the past few months. So how are you guys? Anything interesting to share with us? We've been in hiatus for a while due to Ramadhan (respect) and being busy planning a few things for you guys for the next 7-8 months. Also, do check out Attack Apparel in Facebook for the new upcoming tees. It'll blow your mind!
Okay so, Starstruck, which is an end-of-the-month segment is rather dysfunctional lately due to some minor problems (which was me, and un replied questionnaires) is back with Jo of The Padangs. He's the frontman of this scream-your-lungs-out band from Kajang. These questions were asked last March so if the answers are not relevant today, do forgive me. Lets hear it for, Jo of The Padangs!
Q: Tell us your full name, nickname and position in the band.
A: The name's Johann, everyone calls me Jo and I'm the vocalist in my band.
Q: Who came up with the band name?
A: Well me, ax and ridt came up with the name "The Padangs" and we thought that the name was gonna be a temporary name for our band but in the end we just stick to it because we get used to the name.
Q: What do you do for living?
A: Right now I'm studying in Multimedia University and I'm taking Creative Multimedia. I'll be majoring Film and Animation when I'm in degree, right now I'm doing foundation.
Q: What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are your major influences?
A: I like to say that we're Metalcore / screamo I think.
My major influences will be The Devil Wears Prada, they're the beast!!
Q: When did you form your band? What inspired you to make music together?
A: It was middle 2006. Back then there was me, Adry, Ax and Ridt. We started as a normal jamming band and we were doing it for fun. Then we started to enjoy playing music with each other and started to write music and play shows.
Q:What can you tell me about your instruments? (i.e., Are you subject to brand loyalty or will you play with whatever's available? What made you choose the instruments you have now? Was it cost or was it a style/model/brand/color preference?
A: Instruments? I don't play any of them. I just sing and I don't care what brand the mic is as long as it's not smelly haha.
Q: What are your rehearsals generally like? Do you have a set time each week in which you practice or are rehearsals more spontaneous?
A: We rehears once a week and it's always every Thursday or Friday, and we rehears only if there's shows in that week. But sometimes we rehears just to make it tighter and try to make it better.
Q: What's your favorite place to go eat together? (with your bandmates)
A: Ayza!! No place else haha.
Q: Which show that you've played has been your favorite so far?
A: It was Carpathian Isolation Tour, we opened for them. It was amazing, the crowds were insane!!
Q: What's your favorite part of being in a band?
A: Touring with friends
Q: What's your LEAST favorite part?
A: Late night jamming
Q: Hayley Williams, Katy Perry or Hannah Tan?
A: Katy Perry of course!!
Q: Imagine you’re watching a concert and one of the band members spontaneously combusts. You get called to the stage to replace that band member. Who’s the band?
A: The Devil Wears Prada. I really want to sing with them.
Q: Strangest venue or gig you’ve ever played?
A: I think it was KL Live? We played there for prom night and we were the only band that screams haha.
Q: Honestly, do you think about Gegey Music?
A: Gegey Music has opened many doors for us and they really helps promoting our band and not just our band, other bands as well. I'm really proud and honored to be a part of Gegey Music. Thank you so much. Without Gegey music, we wouldn't got this far.

Merkmaid EP Out Now!
Local rock/hardcore band Merkmaid launch their debut self-titled EP 'The New Hope' out now!
Recorded at SubHuman Production, the EP is a product of a change of line-up that has seen the band evolve with a refocused and refined sound; the tracks are a late-night blend of livewire drums and driving bass, punctuated by melodic guitar lines and impassioned vocals. The EP displays a wide-screen flourish as evidenced between the melodic propulsion of ‘K2’, the sharp dark groove that is ‘Judas’, the sombre acoustic ‘Saunders St’ and the defiant optimism of live favourite ‘With You'.
1 tracks from the EP are now available at: Merkmaid

Beat The Scene : Chasing Villains
Chasing Villains, hey? I first noticed this band’s name when one of my friends told me about and thought nothing much of them other than “how did these randoms land the support slot for a relatively high profile gig (at least in the indie/blogging sense).” But then this guy said I should check them, and so I actually went to all the effort to hit up their Myspace page.
And you know what? Turns out they’re pretty good. It shoots for the same kind of grandeur as Comeback Kid and early Above This Fire and actually reaches that level pretty well without falling back on the whole ‘let’s get lots of people to sing loud at once to sound epic’ kinda way. Yeah, they bring some of that in toward the end, but when it works it still works (and when it doesn’t work… well, see that latest Brand New Start single. WTF is that shit?). Largely, though, the vocals are restricted to a smooth baritone and the song relies on the actual instruments to create crescendos.
Above is ‘Brand New Start,’ the clear stand out amongst their tracks so far. I won’t go pronouncing these guys as an impending ‘big thing,’ but I can confirm that they have at least one pretty great song with a serving of ‘potential’ on the side. Hopefully they can turn it on tonight and win some more people over.
