Manifesto
Some stories are built on success.
Ours was built on showing up.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Since 2006.
Why We Stayed

Why We
Kept Showing Up.

01

For The Music

Because some songs refuse to stay silent.

02

For The People

Because every show created another friendship.

03

For The Story

Because every year became another chapter.

04

For Those Who Are Gone

Because some people may leave, but their impact remains.

20 Years Later

In 2006, we didn't know if this would last six months.

Today, twenty years later, we are still here.

“Keep The Faith. Keep Working. Educate The People.
Bukan slogan — ini cara hidup.”

Perjalanan

The
Legacy

2006

The Beginning

Band terbentuk dari bawah tanah Tangerang. Punk, rockabilly, hardcore — lahir dari garasi, bukan dari industri.

2007

First Shows

Panggung pertama. Energi yang belum pernah ada sebelumnya.

2008

The Road Starts

Mulai aktif di panggung lokal Tangerang–Jakarta. Jalan panjang dimulai.

2012

Keep The Faith

Debut demo independen. Tanpa label, tanpa kompromi. Legendary tape underground.

2016

Forward Never Back

Full-length album. Rockabilly hardcore manifesto.

2020

Everything Changed.

Rise Up EP — 4 tracks of pure rebellion di tengah ketidakpastian.

2024

We lost someone who helped us keep moving.

Some stood on stage. Some worked behind it. This story exists because of both.

2026

Still Showing Up.

Dua dekade. Tak pernah kompromi. Fight On, Never Back Down — bukan pernyataan, ini rekam jejak.
