In high school, i was a drummer in many bands (mostly extreme metal). Those metal bands i joined in, required me to play fast, blast beats, double pedal beats, and the other metal drumming stuff. I've spent years playing drum that way. Until i started going to college, i felt very tired and i decided to quit those bands. I wanted to start something new.
In late 2014, me and my college friends Fikra Putra and Abdul Afi had an idea to form a punk rock band, where i chose to play guitar and sing. We started as a trio and covered songs from Blink-182, Social Distortion, Alkaline Trio, Rancid, and Ramones. We did a couple rehearsal sessions after college, and Fikra came up with the name 'Toilet Surfers'.
In April 2015, i wrote a song called "Razorblade" for the band. Our rehearsal sessions were postponed a couple times due to our college stuff; assignments and exams. When we came back after doing those stuff, we decided to recruit another member to play bass, cause Fikra play guitar better than i do. So, he took the lead guitar parts, while i sing and play the rhythm guitar parts.
In late 2015, Dicky Lesmana joined the band as a bassist. So, we are a punk rock band called Toilet Surfers, consisting me (vocals/rhythm guitar), Fikra (lead guitar), Afi (drums), and Dicky (bass).
Although we've been a band for more than a year and have written 4 songs, but we're still a new band. So, if you're curious about us and our songs, check us out :
