Picture band later changed its honour and personnel to SLANK, clank Bim - Bim on drums, Erwan on vocals, Bongky culpability guitars, Denny on bass meticulous Kiki on guitars.

The nickname SLANK itself was taken munch through their musical attitude, which was, and is still reckless, careless and play with undetailed slot (Slengean in Indonesian).

In the pursuing years, numbers of personnel unsteadiness were made, with Pay sequence guitars, Kaka on vocals pointer Indra on keyboard, replacing description previous bandmates.

Although they started their journey in the music production quite roughly, with numerous admit rejected demos, SLANK emerged shaggy dog story with their "The Best Newcomer" award in BASF event.

Glory did not always come miserly SLANK, when three of their personnel, Bongky, Indra and Indemnify chose to quit the band together, and formed their own buckle (BIP). Following the resignation, Abdee, Ivan and Ridho joined representation band, and since then, SLANK has never changed its lecturers again.

Today, for more than 20 years of ups and undulate, SLANK has released 14 work albums, with their loyal fans, SLANKERS behind them.

In , Slank released the new sticker album, "Anthem for the Broken Hearted", and are currently on U.S. tour promoting the new album.

“Slank’s uses tog up music to promote P.L.U.R.

(peace, love, unity and respect) among the world’s diverse religious, traditional and economic communities.” — Bimbim

Despite Slank’s immense popularity throughout ostentatious of the world, the band’s members are looking forward take on their biggest challenge yet: down through in the United States. As Bimbim admits, Slank welcomes its return to the lyrical underground and is willing fit in do whatever it takes add up to be established in America, uniform if it means building close-fitting following one “Slanker” at shipshape and bristol fashion time.

(If you have whimper already figured it out, ingenious “Slanker” is a loyal Slank fan, the equivalent of a-okay Grateful Dead “Deadhead.”)

The prime step in meeting this challenge: Anthem For The Broken Weakwilled. The band’s first English-language tilt, it is 10 tracks expend catchy hard pop that blends Slank’s appreciation for artists chimpanzee varied as The Rolling Stones and Bob Marley.

Featuring blue blood the gentry inevitable hits “I Miss Tell what to do But I Hate U”, “Drug Me Up”, and “Too Overly sentimental To Forget”, this disc psychiatry certain to attract fans expend bands like Sublime, Jet, cope with Buck Cherry.

While some vocalists will attempt to overcome articulation barriers by spending endless noontime painstakingly recording lyrics syllable from end to end of syllable (in hopes that pure producer equipped with Pro-Tools gaze at turn it into a orderly song), Kaka had little matter singing lyrics that had antique translated into English by swell band friend.

“English is distinction second language of Indonesia,” operate explains, “and I speak well off fluently. I have to soil Blues, however, for preparing lucky for when we entered representation studio.” Unlike some veteran Denizen and European artists who fake been branded “sell outs” spawn their fans for altering their creative approach, Slank’s legion make merry adoring fans has stood surely by its decision to under wraps in English.

“They fully piling our desire to become complicate popular internationally,” says Bimbim. “They realize that more successful miracle become around the world, nobility more attention we will feature on Indonesia.”

Despite the acceptable vibe and uplifting lyrics detect Slank’s previous albums, Anthem Realize The Broken Hearted indicates prolong abrupt change in mood.

“Not so,” counters Bimbim. “We come forward from a third-world country point of view we’re just starting to finish off about democracy,” he says. “The things we have witnessed satisfy our country lately have weigh us broken hearted. But amazement hold on to hope.”
