Consisting of I Gusti Viki Vikranta (drums), Rey Marshall (guitar/vocal), and John Paul Patton (bass/vocal). This band of three was formed in 2011, drawing inspirations and fiery passion for music not from the US or UK, but from Indonesia’s own legendary rock bands that have long-since become their heroes, such as Panbers and AKA. Even the name “Kelompok Penerbang Roket” (or translated to Group of Rocket Flyers) is inspired from the song titled “Mencarter Roket" (Chartering a Rocket), popularized by another legendary Indonesian rock band: Duo Kribo.

 

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.”

Sambut kilat di cakrawala
Tutur gemuruh bersahutan
Merangkai hujan di curah awan
Kabut menebal menutup langit

Hujan badai sangat mengerikan
Hujan badai menakutkan hati

Hambur laut dari tangkai
Dibawa angin terbang jauh
Muka bumi basah kuyup
Ditimpa air hujan

Hujan badai sangat mengerikan
Hujan badai menakutkan hati

Hujan badai sangat mengerikan
Hujan badai menakutkan hati

Hujan badai sangat mengerikan
Hujan badai menakutkan hati

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kelompok Penerbang Roket's song "Hujan Badai" describe a fierce and terrifying storm. The first verse talks about lightning in the sky and the rumbling of thunder that comes with it, as rain falls heavily from the clouds and thick fog covers the sky. The second verse describes the intense power of the storm as it washes away the sea from its shores and carries it far away on the wind, saturating the earth and everything on it with rain. The chorus repeats the phrase "Hujan badai sangat mengerikan" which translates to "Storm rain is very frightening" several times, emphasizing the fear and awe that the subject feels while witnessing the power of the storm.

The song, overall, highlights the natural forces that humans sometimes have no control over, and reminds us of the intense power of the earth and its weather patterns. The use of language and vivid imagery creates a sense of fear and helplessness in the listener, evoking a sense of caution and respect for the environment.
