About the Band

HAPPY DAY

These three easy going punk rock dudes from Jakarta have been playing music since 1995. They formed HAPPY DAY after rejecting major label opportunities offered by their previous managers and have since become a major success in the nation's independent music scene joining the major local music festival A Mild Live Soundrenaline in 2004 as well as playing to enthusiastic crowds at the 2007 Jakarta International EXPO. After few years of playing local bars, clubs and colleges, HAPPY DAY recorded their first album on frontman Didi's label Fullblast Music in 2005-2006 and recently finished their English-material album Anthem of the Unsigned.

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

Full of seasoned, yet carefree pop punk songs about music business, girls and taking life day by day, Anthem Of The Unsigned promises to be an uplifting and entertaining pop punk romp. "Kick Your Ass" opens the disc with bright distortion and controlled riffing. Describing the pitfalls of the record industry is "Long Way To Rock n' Roll." Seemingly in opposition to each other is the hormone driven "Uh-oh" and the more heartfelt "Wanna Marry You." "Life Must Go On" is a jumpy tune about pushing on while "Play My Music" is a melodic punk anthem about following your dreams. Rounding out the album is a set of their Indonesian language songs included as bonus tracks.
