Australian D Beat Punk Band Lai Release Tracks Exploring Queer Rights in Southeast Asia

“Lái has produced 5 tracks of of blistering Swedish influenced d-beat punk propelling raging vocals right into the face of the listener. Vocalist Aldas lyrics engage with voices that explore politics, religion, feminism and queer rights in South East Asia and the diaspora. Sung in both Bahasa Indonesian and English and the band name taken from the Chinese Mandarin phrase meaning ‘to come/next,’ Lái invoke identities and themes that often inter-connect but also conflict in the world around us.

For fans of Totalitar & G.L.O.S.S., featuring members of Pisschrist, Extinct Exist, Masses, Ubik & Occult Blood this demo is limited to a run of 100 cassettes out August 17th 2018 on Lost in Fog Records.”

This came out last year and we’re blown away by the blend of languages, songs and attitude on this release!
