From the highlands of West Java Indonesia. From the city of exceptional minds and talents. From the unforgiving scene of ingenuity. From Bandung with pride. Here comes Speaker First, the 3 piece rock n roll band with singer Mahattir Alkatiry, and twin brothers Beny Barnady and Bony Barnaby as guitarist, highly unexpected - probably underestimated, storms the states with their raucous, straight and no compromise sounds, coupled with a thunderous drum bangs and ballsy vocals influenced from bands like QOTSA, Wolfmother, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
Their first international single ‘The Anthem’ has already garnered a significant airplay from over 20 major radio stations across US.
Followed by their recent radio show tour ‘PASSPORT APPROVED LIVE’ initialized by Passport Approved , an independent internationally syndicated tastemaker import radio show, on March 2017 across 7 cities on West Coast US, which is San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Fresno, Napa, Portland and Seattle, Speaker First has successfully gain attention and mark their presence in the hearts and minds of the Americans.
After a mind blowing perfomance at Woodstock Festival, Kostrzyn Nad Odra, Poland, on August 3rd 2017 - in the prime time and on the same stage with other great bands from around the planet and witnessed by at least 150,000 people - early this year their second single ‘Break My Soul’ was released followed with the music video.
Against all odds, as a band from a distant country to name a few, Speaker First will try hard to make history for themselves at least, as the first Indonesian rock n roll band to gain success in the global music scene.
