After a year disbanding his legendary hardcore outfit for 10 years, vocalist Arian13 [Puppen, Aparatmati] and old time friends, drummer Kemod [from Bandung thrash grinders, Aparatmati] and guitarist Ricky [from Jakarta's finest hardcore band, Stepforward] founded SERINGAI ['grin' in Indonesian]. Fueled by a desire to play a blend between Motorhead, Black Sabbath, hard rock & metal influences, they began to jam together after bassist Toan joined. SERINGAI was already in the habit of constantly writing songs, and playing small gigs in Jakarta and Bandung. Anthem songs like Alkohol [Alcohol] and Membakar Jakarta [Burning Jakarta], are the crowd's favorites. SERINGAI became more popular and the shows were beer-soaked and the sing along, slamdancing, stagediving never stops.

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.

Berhenti di 15
Seringai Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Apa kabar semua? Sehat?
Apakah baik-baik saja?
Mari bergabung dengan rock oktan tinggi!
Yang di belakang silahkan maju saja,
Masih ada ruang kosong kok disini.
Sudah siap? Yuk, mulai!
Berdansa, dengan gaya liar.
Headbang, ini menyenangkan.

Menggila, seperti masih berumur
Limabelas.
Teman-teman dan musik keras.
Rasa ini adalah rumah, tak perlu diredam.
Tetap seperti dulu, karena api tak pernah padam.
Bagaimana?
Semua having fun?
Anda yang didepan, Cukupkah senang?
Laki, perempuan, siapa saja boleh ikutan. Hah!
Ok, Yuk, hajar!
Persetan dengan fashion, tata rambut
Tidak penting.
Apapun yang leluasa, cukup t-shirt,
Dengan jeans.
Siapa peduli dibilang taktahu malu?
Toh tidak mengganggu.
Kalau ini terlalu keras, mungkin saja,
Mungkin saja sikapmu tua.
Berhenti di 15, kami senang sekali.
Berhenti di 15, thrashin' sampai mati.

Berhenti di 15, fun ini tak berhenti.
Berhenti di 15, bersiap, mulai lagi!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Seringai's song "Berhenti di 15" are an invitation to join in the high-octane rock experience. The opening lines, "Apa kabar semua? Sehat? Apakah baik-baik saja?" show the band's concern for the well-being of their fans as they welcome them to join the rock party. The lyrics go on to describe the atmosphere of the concert, with the emptiness of the space inviting fans to come closer and enjoy the music.

The lyrics then invite fans to dance with wild abandon, headbang in ecstasy, and go mad as if they were still 15 years old. The sense of community is emphasized with the lines "Teman-teman dan musik keras. Rasa ini adalah rumah, tak perlu diredam" which say music can bring people together and create a sense of home. The lyrics celebrate the freedom of expression, with fashion and hairstyle being irrelevant, as long as the fans feel comfortable in their T-shirt and jeans. The lines "Berhenti di 15, kami senang sekali" suggest that the band is also enjoying the raw energy of the fans, a mutual appreciation for the connection that music creates.
