The Changcuters

Formed in 2004, The Changcuters swiftly became a driving force in the Indonesian rock and roll scene. Consisting of Tria Ramadhani on vocals, Muhammad Iqbal and Arlanda Langitan on guitars, Dipa Hasibuan on bass, and Erick Nindyoastomo on drums, their lineup encapsulates a blend of talent and passion.

Over the years, The Changcuters have produced a remarkable discography, including six albums that showcase their evolution as artists. From the infectious energy of “Mencoba Sukses” in 2006 to the introspective depth of “Loyalis” in 2020, each release has left an indelible mark on listeners.

Their breakthrough came with “Mencoba Sukses Kembali” in 2008, which led to the band receiving the prestigious 2009 AMI Award for Best Newcomers. Alongside their musical endeavors, The Changcuters also left a mark in the realm of cinema with appearances in The Tarix Jabrix trilogy.

Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like The Hives and The Rolling Stones, The Changcuters infuse their music with a diverse array of genres, blending rock, funk, punk revival, indie pop, jazz, and blues into a unique sonic tapestry.

Critics and fans alike have praised their eclectic style, with comparisons to iconic bands such as The Strokes and The Beatles. Mariani Dewi from The Jakarta Post highlighted their distinctive fashion sense, characterized by tight pants and old-fashioned hairstyles, which adds a visual flair to their performances.

Originating from Bandung, Indonesia, The Changcuters continue to captivate audiences with their electrifying performances, solidifying their status as one of the country’s most beloved rock bands.
