International punk act Sihir (maybe or maybe not the Indonesian synth one*) will be releasing their debut… EP? LP?… Ular Akan Patuk on 05 Jul 2024 from La Vida Es En Bus Discos. It’s nine songs long but, apparently, clocks in at about 15 minutes. EP or LP? Your pick.
Anyhow, the band is made up of “punks from Colombia, Nusantara*, Spain and Sweden.”
With that announcement they’ve also released the first single from the album, “Kerajaan.” Have a listen below and, underneath, find some preorders links and the like.

*Nusantara is the new soon-to-be capital city of Indonesia, so there is a connection between the two acts, but “sihir” (or “sihr) is, at it’s most basic explanation, a word for dark or black magics in Islam. So as a band name, not unexpected for either a dark wave synth band, or a hc punk band with a member from a Muslim-majority country.
the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
