[SPEAKS] is a band from Chukai, Kemaman, Terengganu, Malaysia formed in 1995 by Doni and Zemang from the ashes of their pop-punk act The Spit. In 1996, Speaks recorded a 6 song DIY cassette demo entitled “Above The Sounds” which was heavily influenced by DC Hardcore as well as Still – a Singapore band. The demo included 5 originals and Billy Bragg cover of “Ideology”.
2018, without any proper plan, Doni and Zemang decided to bring the band back and are now presenting 5 brand new songs to the world. The tracks will be released by District Records soon.
