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.

Mobil Balap
The Brandals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ku pernah punya mobil balap sendiri
Yang bisa ngebut di jalanan tiap hari
Ku tidak pernah merasakan kesepian
Tak ada gadis yang menolak diantarkan

Asoy geboy ngebut di jalanan ibukota
Dipayungi lampu kota di sekitar kita
Suatu hari ada orang yang menantang
Gairah sembalapku makin tak tertahan
Kubalap dia dari kiri banting kanan
Tak kumelihat kuterobos lampu merah

Tiba-tiba pak pulisi datang menghampiri
Kutancap gas dengan maksud melarikan diri

Akhirnya ku menabrak pohon yang melintang
Tolong dong pak... Tolong dong pak, jangan ditilang
SIM pun tak ada STNK entah ke mana
Dan hingga kini ku berada di tahanan

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Brandals's song Mobil Balap tell the story of a person who used to own a racing car that they could drive at high speed on the streets every day. The singer enjoyed this experience so much that they never felt lonely and never had trouble with finding someone to take along for the ride. The excitement of racing in the city accompanied by the bright lights created a sense of joy and freedom for the singer.


One day, someone challenged the singer to a race, which fueled a greater passion for speed. The singer weaved through traffic, violating traffic signals and speed limits until eventually, a police officer caught up with them. The singer tried to flee the scene but crashed into a tree, resulting in the driver's arrest and the loss of their vehicle documents.


The song reflects the reality of street racing culture in Indonesia and the dangers that come with it. It warns of the consequences that could arise from reckless driving and the importance of following traffic rules.

Line by Line Meaning

Ku pernah punya mobil balap sendiri
I once owned my own racing car


Yang bisa ngebut di jalanan tiap hari
That could go fast on the streets every day


Ku tidak pernah merasakan kesepian
I never felt lonely


Tak ada gadis yang menolak diantarkan
No girl refused to be taken for a ride


Asoy geboy ngebut di jalanan ibukota
Happy-go-lucky, speeding on the capital's streets


Dipayungi lampu kota di sekitar kita
With city lights surrounding us


Suatu hari ada orang yang menantang
One day someone challenged me


Gairah sembalapku makin tak tertahan
My passion for racing became unstoppable


Kubalap dia dari kiri banting kanan
I cut him off from the left and swerved right


Tak kumelihat kuterobos lampu merah
I didn't notice I ran a red light


Tiba-tiba pak pulisi datang menghampiri
Suddenly the police came up to me


Kutancap gas dengan maksud melarikan diri
I stepped on the gas pedal to try and escape


Akhirnya ku menabrak pohon yang melintang
In the end, I crashed into a tree across the road


Tolong dong pak... Tolong dong pak, jangan ditilang
Please sir... please sir, don't ticket me


SIM pun tak ada STNK entah ke mana
My driver's license and registration disappeared, who knows where


Dan hingga kini ku berada di tahanan
And until now, I am still in jail

Kidang Anabrang

unik banget nih interpretasinya The Brandals, sama sekali baru dan ndak kedengaran kalau ini lagu versi kover, tapi jadi hilang deh elemen singalongnya dari NAIF.
