Hightime Rebellion

A breath of fresh air with a unique breed between Brit pop, funk, folk, the psychedelic beat and baseline of House music, perfected with the sultry voice of its female vocalist, Indonesian indie band Hightime Rebellion, shapes a music genre of its own. Their upcoming album, which includes singles ‘Crest of Mind’, ‘Waking Hour’, ‘Writer in the Window’ and the notable ‘All Things Borrowed’, sounds like a Beatles-esque cover of Blondie songs with an atmosphere reminiscent of the Mamas and the Papas.

Long time friends Rendy Surindrapati (vocalist/pianist/rhythm guitarist), Jason Sutrisno (guitarist), Pulung Wahyudi (bassist), and Reza Arafat (drummer) formed the band in Jakarta, 2007. Adji Dimas Ramayanda (guitarist) and Miyane Soemitro joined later and crystalised the band’s signature sound with harmonised vocals, synched melodic guitars and bold bass lines.
