| BULL RACE HARDCORE |
Kieran James aka Jack
Frost (Busukwebzine): Please tell us the band history.
Andi (drummer): We
started from 2011. The first name was not BULL RACE. The first name was INGOCTOPUS.
BULL RACE did not have a genre at that time. Then for about two months we were
looking for a genre. We chose hardcore because at that time in Bangkalan there
was no hardcore. We wanted to be different to the other bands. First there were
three members. At the start there was an additional member playing bass.
KJ: Why do you choose
the name BULL RACE?
Andi: Because it is a
culture and icon of Madura. We want people to know that BULL RACE is from
Madura.
KJ: What is your
favourite Indonesian band?
Andi: DEVADATA (SBY),
OUTRIGHT (BDG), and FRAUD (SBY).
Rizfal: OUTRIGHT (BDG).
Syaifullah: FULL
FRONTAL (SBY) and FINAL ATTACK (JKT).
KJ: What is your
comment about STRAIGHT ANSWER (JKT)?
Andi: It is very good
old-school hardcore from Jakarta.
KJ: What is the future
plan for the band?
Syaifullah: We want to
make a first EP album. We want to perform in another country. Next year 2015 we
hope to complete the EP.
Andi: We want to look
for permanent bassist.
KJ: Why do you like to
play hardcore?
Andi: Because the music
of hardcore can make our spirit come alive.
KJ: What are your
influence bands?
BULL RACE: MADBALL,
RISE OF THE NORTH STAR (ROTNS) (JAPAN), HATEBREED, and AGNOSTIC FRONT. They all
influence us.

| Irsyad Sickles and Arie Sickles |
KJ: What is your
comment about this band?
Irsyad (vocalist
SICKLES): I think BULL RACE has interesting performances. Sometimes they make
funny performances.
Haidir (drummer
SICKLES / KREMASI): Grow up and don’t imitate other bands.
Ilham (TYRANNIAL
MIRROR): It is a very good band.
KJ: What is your
comment about Bangkalan scene?
Andi: People in
Bangkalan have an appreciation but not respect. They do not really accept
hardcore or other underground music.
KJ: What is the
progress of the album?
Andi: We have one
single, one song. We are planning EP album of five songs.
KJ: What is your
comment about Surabaya hardcore scene?
Andi: Among the best.
Two of the bands in Surabaya became my influences: DEVADATA and FRAUD.
KJ: What is your
comment about Bandung hardcore?
Andi: Good, but we want
to be better than Bandung hardcore.
