Consistently blowing distortions and intense energy, Kelompok Penerbang Roket have released a debut album titled Teriakan Bocah (Screaming of a Kid) in 2015. Produced by one of Indonesia’s finest guitarist, Didit Saad. The album contains 7 songs echoing protests, critics and honest depictions of Jakarta and Indonesia.
And howled loud did Teriakan Bocah. The album, released by Berita Angkasa Records, was reputed one of the best albums of 2015 by various mass media in Indonesia. Rolling Stone Indonesia honored the album as best album of 2015, proclaimed: “Teriakan Bocah is a work of young rock scientists that revives the savagery of 70’s Indo-rock. Imagine Duo Kribo hooliganism or early Panbers psychedelia modernly processed, with a significant dose, becoming a fresh, wild monster.”

Banyak yang ingin merdeka, tapi sementara.
Dimana mereka, mereka yang beda.
Apa masih ada yang merdeka aaa?
Banyak yang bilang berbeda tapi tetap sama.
Banyak yang ingin merdeka tapi sementara.
Dimana mereka, mereka yang beda.
Apa masih ada yang merdeka?
aaa yeaaaah!!!
Banyak yang bilang berbeda, banyak yang ingin merdeka?
Dimana mereka mereka yang beda, Apa masih ada yang MERDEKAAA!
The lyrics to Kelompok Penerbang Roket's song "Dimana Merdeka" ("Where is Freedom") express a sense of frustration with society's contradictory attitudes toward freedom. The lyrics point out that many people claim to be different or unique, but ultimately tend to conform to societal norms. At the same time, many people desire freedom, but only for a limited time or in certain circumstances. The singer then questions where the truly different and free people are, and wonders if they still exist.
The repetition of the phrases "banyak yang bilang berbeda, tapi tetap sama" and "banyak yang ingin merdeka, tapi sementara" emphasizes the frustration and disappointment with the lack of real change and commitment to freedom. The use of the word "merdeka" (freedom) suggests a larger societal and political context in which the song is situated. The singer is asking where the people who are truly free and liberated from these societal pressures and constraints are, and whether or not they exist.
Overall, "Dimana Merdeka" is a powerful critique of the way in which society often pays lip service to the ideals of freedom and individuality, but in reality, people are often trapped by conformity and societal norms.
