Shortly thereafter, Toan left the band, and was replaced by Sammy. The band recorded 9 songs including a cover of Black Flag's Jealous Again, and released High Octane Rock EP in 2004 in tape format on their own label, Parau. Many shows in support of the tape, and without proper promotion they have sold about 12.000 copies of High Octane Rock EP. They even got offered to write songs for local movie soundtrack, teenage flick Catatan Akhir Sekolah and horror flick 12:00 AM. Their fanbase grows bigger, and named themselves 'Serigala Militia' or, Seringai's wolfpack. In 2005, the CD version is released. Fortunately, the CD version was highly anticipated, and with different and exclusive artwork, it has sold 2000 copies in just 2 month. This time, the CD was distributed by Off The Records/Universal Music Indonesia.

Dilarang Di bandung
Seringai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dan birat ini membekas disini
Menjadi pengingat apa yang terjadi
Kau tak bisa penjarakan pikiran ini
Mereka tak peduli, kekang suaramu
Kini terberangus, dilarang di Bandung!
Media mengekspos, meredam ekspresi
Menyudutkan, beri nama buruk skena
Kau tidak akan menghentikan kami
Yang muda dan yang berbahaya
Mereka tak peduli, kekang suaramu
Kini terberangus, dilarang di Bandung!
Dilarang di Bandung, samar masa depan
Generasi menjanjikan kini dipersulit
Dilarang di Bandung, samar untuk bergiat
Rampas kebebasan, mulai lagi dari awal
Dilarang di Bandung!
Dilarang di Bandung!
Dilarang di Bandung!
Dilarang di Bandung!
Dilarang di Bandung!
Dilarang di Bandung!
The lyrics of Seringai's song "Dilarang Di Bandung" speak of a struggle against oppression and censorship. The first verse talks about a tragedy that will not stop the band from expressing themselves, and the impact that it left as a reminder of what had happened. The second verse expresses frustration towards the media, which is seen as working against the band and their scene. The chorus repeats the phrase "dilarang di Bandung", which means "prohibited in Bandung", suggesting that the band and their supporters are being targeted by authorities in the city.
The song can be interpreted as a response to censorship and repression faced by young people in Bandung, a city in Indonesia known for its vibrant music scene. The lyrics suggest that the authorities are trying to silence dissenting voices and prevent them from flourishing. By repeating the phrase "dilarang di Bandung", the band is asserting their right to speak out and be heard, regardless of attempts to suppress them.
Overall, "Dilarang Di Bandung" is a powerful anthem for those who feel marginalized and oppressed by authority. It speaks to the struggle for freedom of expression and the importance of standing up to those who would try to silence us.
