It is almost a cliche how Kelompok Penerbang Roket fits so well into the molding of a ‘proper’ rock & roll band.

But when the music they play is this good, those things hardly matter.

This group is one of the very best this country has to offer. Efek Rumah Kaca released their first album in 2007 and have remained very humble, while their songwriting keeps getting more solid.
