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.

Tipu Jalanan
The Brandals Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh disini ku terkapar lagi
Terhempas mimpi digilas sepi
Panik cari jalan keluar
Darah muntah di atas trotoar
Lihat rongsokan hati yang kau buat
Tercecer di tempat parker harapan
Lampu merah terus diterjang
Sumpal uang pantang terjerat

Di paksa diperas terus
Napas tipis dan kurus
Cuma terisi bual politik
Korban aparat ganas dan pelit
Siapa yang mau dengar
Suara siksa jalanan
Tak lebih dari digit dan angka
Di hapus saja gagal tertawa
Terinjak hatiku tertutup malu
Siapa yang menipu tak tau malu
Siapa yang mau dengar
Suara siksa jalanan
Tak lebih dari digit dan angka
Di hapus lagi gagal tertawa
Kemana bawa nasibku
Berputar terbawa jauh
Tak punya atap beralas koran
Hilang ditelan debu dan jaman
Kau mau tau siapa yang tertipu
Siapa lagi yang harus menipu

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tipu Jalanan paint a bleak picture of life on the streets, with the singer lying beaten and defeated, their dreams crushed and their hope gone. They are desperately searching for a way out, but all they find is emptiness and despair. The song speaks to the harsh reality faced by many who are left behind by society, with their hearts and spirits broken by the callousness of those in power.

The imagery used in the song is powerful and evocative, from the scattered debris of shattered hopes to the thin and emaciated breaths of the oppressed. The lyrics suggest that their suffering is not seen or heard by those in positions of authority, who are more interested in political posturing and lining their own pockets. The victimization faced by those without a voice is a recurring theme throughout the song, highlighting the urgent need to confront and address these issues.

Overall, Tipu Jalanan is a poignant commentary on social inequality and the disenfranchisement of those on the margins of society. Its raw and honest depiction of the realities faced by many serves as a reminder of the urgency and importance of working towards a more just and equitable future.

Oh disini ku terkapar lagi
Here I am again, lying on the ground

Terhempas mimpi digilas sepi
My dreams have been crushed by silence

Panik cari jalan keluar
Frantically searching for a way out

Darah muntah di atas trotoar
Vomiting blood on the sidewalk

Lihat rongsokan hati yang kau buat
Seeing the wreckage you left of my heart

Tercecer di tempat parker harapan
Scattered in the parking lot of hope

Lampu merah terus diterjang
Running through red lights

Sumpal uang pantang terjerat
Money is caught in a trap

Di paksa diperas terus
Forced to be squeezed continuously

Napas tipis dan kurus
Breathing shallow and weak

Cuma terisi bual politik
Filled with political nonsense
