Komplot released their first single in 2007 which was aptly called ‘Konflik Metropolis’. It became the rave of the town and about. It all soon became clear as Komplot returns the compliment that the local independent scene had. Komplot bared it all on their first ever show at Laundry Bar, when literally hundreds if not thousands came to the modish bar to gratify their curiosity as to what the hype about Komplot is all about. The show exploded with broken furniture flew about, massive dance-pit encircled, and significantly those who came were enthused and this started the craze called Komplot. From then on, it was apparent that Komplot is a band to pass on for and the songs to live by.
Joanna Renisa is a 23 year old rock princess, born to rock the stage and shake her tail feathers. Her infectious smiles and famous crowd teasing moments melts the hearts of men and lesbians. This singer/songwriter first started singing profesionally with an RnB girl group called Harmonee at the age of 7 at hotel events for kids. She soon rocked out of the girl group and into a band named after her :)
Ijam, the coolest guitarist in the band (that’s because he is the only guitarist in the band) plays an important role when it comes to song writing. 80% of Joanna & Co’s songs are composed by Ijam and Joanna. Therefore, he is the coolest. Ijam is currently playing for other local underground bands like Freygyle, Elm Kids and etc etc. Ijam is an icon when it comes to combing hair. Jaws of all ages falls flat on the ground whenever they see Ijam’s hair combing routine.
Farid looks like he eats kids; but he really is a funny guy. Everywhere he goes people calls him "brader", its either because his brother billy is hot, or because he looks like everyone’s brother. Farid joined the band in early 2007 when the previous drummer was too chicken shit to play for Joanna & Co. Farid was pulled by Ijam and it was a blessing that Joanna & Co is finally settled after the lost of the chicken shit drummer who stole cds. According to Joanna, Farid has really good taste in music and he deserves the spotlight in the band. However, this funnyman is reported to be very shy.
Kusha is the last puzzle that perfected Joanna & Co. His mad bass skills makes people wanna be him or wanna be WITH him. Kusha's lips contradicts with his hands. He doesn’t talk much but yet his fingers can pluck mad tunes. There are no other way for me, to describe how CRAZY this dude is. You just have to come down and see him for yourself. I swear, he will blow ur mind away. And as far as questions asked towards Kusha about his mad skills, a humble Kusha said "No Comment."

Oh Chentaku was formed in june 2007. consist of 3 enthusiastic neighbours myo, adib and naem from kelana jaya, selangor. type of music is towards 90s post-hardcore/emo. the name came all the sudden without any particular depth meanings. they are now currently working on their second release as well as playing couple of gigs all over places in the country, the malaysia tour, after their successful singapore tour last december 2007, their recent bangkok tour last may 2008, indonesia tour last june 2008 as well as the showcase at esplanade singapore last june 28th. kindly please update yourself with their gigboard. they're updating it daily to ease you. so please help yourself.
The band, first started as a side-project for Myo & Ducktoi in the middle of 1994 has now becoming a serious band after playing in lot of shows and gigs all over Malaysia since it formation. After various changes of line-up, Kujoy has join in permanently on guitar. With Feroz on board (after the absent of Aie & Par) & officially filling the bass department. MUCK have evolved from a simple indie rock band to become more experimental with their music. Hence, MUCK have succeed in creating their own sound and style, and at the same time attracting more people becoming their followers due to their new, fresh & interesting sound.
Right after Rock the World 4 (Malaysia’s annual rock festival) the band got inspired to cut an album. And after endless effort and all sorts of obstacles, they completed an 11 track album. The recording process took about 4 months (Oct – Dec 2004) to be completed. Thus, In Hating Memory is born. The debut album includes 10 English tracks and 1 Malay language track. The first single Velocity started receiving airplay since June 2005 followed by the second single Chocolate Syrup. Both singles were accompanied by music videos directed by “Motion Notion” and Tan Chee Meng respectively.
More on the album, the band was very fortunate as they had a chance to work with two dedicated engineers, Mr. Norman Rashid and Mr. Eduardo Garcia. Mr. Norman did the recording sessions and is very experienced as he has work with many pop Malay artists. Mr. Garcia however hails from Colombia, temporarily in Malaysia, finalized the mixing and mastering, and has exceptional talent and even a Latin Grammy nominee to his name.
A little more on the video Chocolate Syrup, the video received heavy airplay as the video had a different storyline to it, compared to other cliché rock videos. It was shot and directed by Tan Chee Meng, a local music producer/video director (the list goes on!). The band wanted a whole new concept for the video compared to the common rock videos.
