(I came up with that on the fly, actually. LOL.)
Yes, that's right. 'Meet Uncle Hussein' (or 'meetUncleHussain'; both names still sound the same anyway) is probably the closest thing you can get to indie music in Malaysia. Seriously, they're that good. I mean, have you seen any other Malaysian band having had any commentary on my blog?
Their sound reminds me a lot of Electrico, which is one of the reasons why they appeal to me so much. There's a lot of pop/punk rhythms mixed into their often-upbeat tracks, like 'La La La Kerjalah' for example. Other times, you get alternative guitar dominated rhythms like in 'Lagu Untukmu'. Whatever they came up with, I was pleasantly surprised at each and every one so far.
To give you a picture of just how talented they are, they've recently won an award for best upcoming band (I think.) in the Anugerah Planet Muzik 2008. Pretty awesome eh?
Give 'em a listen.
