Balinese trio Superman Is Dead formed in 1995 and upended the national rock status quo with frantic three-chord punk attacks. Unleashing a heady mix of raucous guitars, cacophonous vocals and anthemic choruses ensnared a devoted fan base, scoring a move to a major label that yielded the runaway success of albums like 2003's Kuta Rock City. They increasingly mixed NOFX-style pop-punk, melodic hardcore and edgy rockabilly—singing anarchic, romantic tales in Indonesian and English—with keys and double bass, and encounters with the likes of Jogjakarta band Shaggy Dog show ska and reggae overtones.
