Need a new act to be added on your punk playlist? Maybe Coaster could be your alternative. Established in 2012, the band from Jakarta which often underwent name changes (we read that they changed their names like 9 times (!) from 2006), officially used Coaster from 2012 until now. The band is comprised of Papau (vocal/guitar), Abimanyu (Guitar/backing vocal), Fadil (bass/backing vocal) and Ari (drum). So far they have released an EP called “Youthful Spirit” in 2015 which resonated the band’s vision to bring the sound of “Teenagers Punk Rock”. In October 2016, they finally released their full lenght album called “Daydreams”. It contains 12 tracks and still embodies the spirit of youth punk rockers within Coaster. It is obvious to see that the band still carries their optimism by the title of the songs in this album. “Bergerak”, “Terbang”, “Genggam Dunia” or “Jalan Terus” are just a few of their high-spirited songs that help to spread positivity to the listeners. In “Daydreams”, the band is also not afraid to incorporate other element than punk into their music. Listen to “Negeri di Tangan Kita” to listen a little bit of swing jazz piano in the middle of a punk song.
