Skandal

Skandal is a Yogyakarta-based alternative group with a touch of indie rock and hints of power pop. It identifies itself as a present-day musical unit with a ‘bit of a ‘90s hangover and every sentimental side of things.

Heavily influenced by Indonesian pop-rock and indie groups, as well as the melodic sounds of US and British underground rock bands from the ‘90s and early 2000s, Skandal combines ​​bittersweet hooks and glistening crunchy guitars with pop sensibilities here and there to make their sonic offering–it’s poppier than your standard rock but punchier than your standard pop.
