Spent most of 2002 practicing and performing their own materials, as well as classic R&B standards from The Who, The Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix, The Kinks, some Sex Pistols and The Clash. Early 2003, Edo left due to day job commitment as magazine editor. Enter Eka Annash (Rully's older brother), who intensified the whole song writing and performing activities, and changed the band's name to The Brandals. Throughout 2003 The Brandals been thru fire and high water, performing their string of original materials such as 100 km/jam, Lingkar Labirin, Marching Menuju Maut, Moonlight Chid, etc. Recording process started on March to October 2003 in The Doors (East Jakarta) recording studio, which resulted in the released of their DIY debut album 'The Brandals'. The album, which distributed nation wide by a small indie label Sirkus Record, sold 7500 copy. An impressive number for an indie release. The Band continued their guerilla promo strategy, performed on underground gigs and uni/highschool music events. Promoting their album to various medias, and gain national highlight as one of the most notorious rock n roll band from the capital state of Indonesia, thanks to their lewd, provoking, disorderly act. Despite the disturbing image, The Brandals won critical approval from the medias and fans throughout the nation. Touring Java, Bali and Sumatera on 2004. Recording for the second album commenced on November 2004 at Studio 18 Jakarta. 14 new materials were recorded under Flystation label. Gruelling working hours were paid off when the album's finished in May 2005. After few months of distribution search, the band hooked up with Warner Music for a distribution deal nation wide and presented what would be their best release yet, the eclectic 'Audio Imperialist'. The album infused punk's ferocious, rockabilly's rhythm with country tinged rock n roll. Fuelled with lyrical contents that speaks urban life obsession on decadence, social injustice and rejected romance gone bad. Right now, the band's doing what they do best : touring, playing, spitting rough facts about the band's myth and bollocks...independently.

100 km/Jam
The Brandals Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seratus kilometer konstan per jam
Melaju terus non-stop siang dan malam
Awas di depan ada tikungan tajam
Injak pedal gas semakin dalam !

Roda berputar semakin cepat
Stir kemudi terus digenggam erat
Meluncur menuju matahari barat

Awas pom bensin nanti terlewat!

Oh pelan-pelan sayang
Jangan dipegang-pegang
Lebih enak kalo digoyang
Sampai datangnya terang

Awas kena tilang
Dan jangan sampai minta pulang
Kita cuma dua binatang jalang
Tapi kita harus menang 3X

Asap tebal mesin berpacu
3000 mil jauhnya sudah berlalu
Cepat sayang kita diburu waktu
Dunia baru sudah menunggu

Yang cepat !
Yang erat !

Tancap gas !
Digilas !

Aspal panas, digilas !
Tancap terus, pedal gas !

Awas di depan, tikungan tajam !
100 kilometer per jam !

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of the lyrics to The Brandals's song '100 km/Jam' talk about traveling at a constant speed of 100 kilometers per hour non-stop day and night. The lyrics also mention a sharp turn ahead, and the need to push the gas pedal down to go faster. In the second stanza, the singer talks about the car accelerating, the steering wheel tightly gripped and heading towards the setting sun. There's a warning about running out of fuel and the need to slow down. The refrain encourages the listener to enjoy the ride and keep going until the dawn arrives. The third stanza has a warning about getting caught by the police, and despite being on the run and being two wild animals, the singer wants to win.

Seratus kilometer konstan per jam
We're driving at a constant speed of 100 kilometers per hour

Melaju terus non-stop siang dan malam
We're driving continuously day and night

Awas di depan ada tikungan tajam

Oh pelan-pelan sayang
Slowly, my dear

Jangan dipegang-pegang
Don't hold on too tightly

Lebih enak kalo digoyang
It's more fun if you sway with the rhythm

Sampai datangnya terang
Until the morning comes

Awas kena tilang
Beware of getting fined

Dan jangan sampai minta pulang
And don't ask to go home

Kita cuma dua binatang jalang
We're just two wild animals

Tapi kita harus menang 3X
But we have to win three times

Asap tebal mesin berpacu
Thick smoke coming out of the engine

3000 mil jauhnya sudah berlalu
We've already gone 3000 miles

We're running out of time quickly

Dunia baru sudah menunggu
A new world is waiting for us

Let's crush it!

Aspal panas, digilas !
The hot asphalt is being crushed beneath us

Let's keep pushing, step on the gas!

Awas di depan, tikungan tajam !
Be careful, there's a sharp turn ahead!

100 kilometer per jam !
We're driving at 100 kilometers per hour!

Shannon Johnson imagine the stir he caused in Jakarta back in the early 00’s! No one in town had the swag and attitude quite like his, and to me he showed us how to sing in Indonesian language, and still sounded genuinely edgy. His was raw power coming from gritty East Jakarta, not a copycat of New York or London. His influence is so underrated, a true legend!
