Show us your favorite local band.

In addition to Search (see below) and err..4U2C, I have to add this highly respected band Cromok.Sam, Din (RIP), Karl and Miji were Malaysian students studying in University of Wollongong, Sydney when they decided to form a thrash metal band in late 80s. They caused quite a sensation in the Sydney underground scene with their brand of unique straight up thrash metal sounds back then.
Always keen to stick to their roots, Cromok's blend of metal with Malay traditisional elements made them some sort of a local icon ..as evident in the adaptation of 'Ulek Mayang' (a Terengganu folk song) as the intro to 'Metallurgical' (from their defining debut album 'Image of Purity').
last month i ran into Sam buying a nasi bungkus at Gerai Kak Nor, Pasar TTDI. Apparently he is currently an engineer at the nearby VETS building (formerly IBM tower)

It was 1986 . I went to a seedy music shop at the nearby kompleks PKNS to get a copy of Search's 'Langit dan Bumi' cassette straight after one religious class (kelas mengaji darjah tiga). They successfully taught me 3 fundamental things in life:
1) not to be so uptight
2) loosen up a bit
3) and be a good kid at the same time.

i heard they are still going strong until today

First of all, Kompleks PKNS is not seedy...lol!
I remember when Search had to shave their heads bald. That was hilarious.

Yup!! Aku sokong!! Search still bertahan sampai hari ni...
Go Search!
gotta love the Rock With Big Hair Style... XAXAXAXA but the songs was awesome!!! not like today.... \m/ \m/
yeah, classic scene...Tok Mat having fun clearing the dandruffs off the heads of Search and Wings members...CNN reportedly regretting their decision not to broadcast the fiesta live, as RTM does.
moral of the story: long hair mean you are almost criminal
Arguably, back in ' 89 mase album Fenomena, Search was at their peak...gare2 lagu Isabella...sampai belakon dua film lagi. Byk lagu best dlm album ni: Menara kesesatan, Bencana and Pawana
malaysian version of Aerosmith...papahal pun liv tyler tetap lagi hot dari nabila.
[זה מעולה] kire regarded as Malaysian version of Aerosmith/Rolling Stone/U2 la...
tapi Search still takleh challange the legacy of 4U2C...best talent ever
"bergemaaa taaakbiiir di paaagi rayaaa... menyambut syawall... bulan muliaaa.. haaaaaaa bersyukurrr kitaa pada yang esaaa.. di harii rayaaa... bulan muliaaaa..." and the feveret step tu sampai bila tak lupa... classic siotttt... macam harammmmm....
Sekali 4U2C daaa.... terkeluar acuan terus...
Kalo takat tu, UB40 boleh, B52 boleh, DefGabC boleh, sekali datang 4U2C.... wakakakakaa.... out terus...

...rindu siot nak tgk aksi kaki sapu lantai AC Mizal, Lanz hencem & Geng
Only P.Ramlee and Sudirman are more talented than Empat U Dua C...
dahla talented, semuenye hencem2 pulak tu
band favourite aku gak...aku pun hafal semue lagu diorang...hencem tu.
aku ade simpan semue koleksi CD, 'The Best Of'
and all their music videos (in Laser Disc version)
memang tidak dapat dinafikan kemunculan 4U2C banyak memberi impak terhadap golongan remaja...Setiap lagu mereka menatap di setiap bibir sang pendengar...menjadi igauan dan siulan muda-mudi di kala itu.
[這個好] pakai rantai CD-rom...plus topi dengan plate besi 'BOY LONDON'
sori lee gua dulu takde rantai cd rom... rantai piring hitam ada laaa... tapi la kan... classmate aku ada sarung bantal 4U2C... wakakakakakaa... macam gampang.... biasa laaaa... M-Power...
dua dua band kat atas penah ada sentuhan hillary ang...
sarung bantal? karkarkar...okla tuh kasi air liur basi sket kat hidong Lanz and Mizal AC...
