——————-
New old faces from the Johor royal town of Muar, this gang carries the torch of New York Hardcore with a fierce local edge. Channeling the raw spirit of anger, they blend crushing riffs and streetwise attitude with a deep emotional undercurrent, reflecting both the grit of urban NYHC and the grounded pride of small-town Southern Malaysia. Their sound is a heavy mix of groove-driven breakdowns, fast-paced aggression, and melodic overtones, rooted in the realities of struggle, loyalty, and personal growth. It’s hardcore born from back alley stories and late-night reflections, echoing through the five-foot ways of Muar with a Brooklyn stomp.
While staying true to the foundations laid of NYHC, this band injects their own identity into the mix, weaving in regional flair, local dialect, and a uniquely Malaysian sensibility. The pain is real, the pride runs deep, and the message is clear: brotherhood, survival, and self-respect in a world that doesn’t hand out second chances. From the shadow of the royal town, they represent a new breed, tough, thoughtful, and ready to leave their mark.
