_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ **ABOUT** _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Empat pemuda asal Bogor yang membentuk sebuah band (bernama Reid Voltus tentunya..) dengan aliran musik yang mereka kategorikan kedalam Indie Rock. Term 'indie' sendiri dalam hal ini sama artinya dengan konsep kata 'alternatif', yang maksudnya adalah rock yang berbeda dengan dikenal orang pada umumnya. Bertempat tinggal di Bogor, beraktivitas di Bogor, mungkin Reid Voltus adalah satu-satunya band yang memiliki 'route' indie rock yang khas di kota hujan ini. Terbentuk tahun 2004, diwali dengan konsep bunyi-bunyian feedback yang cenderung eksperimental (terpengaruh oleh Sonic Youth), Reid Voltus akhirnya mendewasakan diri dengan tidak mengikuti ego mereka sepenuhnya, sehingga musiknya pun lebih 'diminimalisir'. Namun pandangan miring pun tetap sering diterima oleh mereka sampai merekapun sudah imun menghadapinya. Tetapi sekarang perlahan-lahan Reid Voltus mulai muncul ke permukaan. Ketiga personil besar di masa britpop berjaya. Masing-masing memiliki beragam jenis band sebelum akhirnya (mungkin) berakhir di Reid Voltus. Setelah masa mudanya dihabiskan dengan menikmati britpop, sekarang pemuda-pemuda ini musiknya lebih guitar oriented (Sebadoh), terasa sangat 90-an (Nirvana, The Pixies), dengan terkadang tetap menyisipkan sedikit sound feedback. Penulis lirik kebanyakan lagu Reid Voltus, Deni, merasa dirinya terpengaruh oleh Black Frances (The Pixies), yang liriknya cenderung amat sangat eksplisit dan absurd. Lirik lagu tidak jauh berkisar mengenai kehidupan sosial. Andi dan Deni adalah penulis lagu utama di Reid Voltus. Mereka berdua pula yang mencetuskan membentuk Reid Voltus. Maka hanya mereka personil yang bertahan sampai saat ini, setelah band ini beberapa kali mengalami perubahan personil. Reid voltus is a four-piece indierockers from Bogor,West Java,Indonesia The indie term is similliar to alternative which means another type of rock. live and grow at Bogor made Reid Voltus the only band with indie-rock-noise style , so if someone said "Bogor's indie rock?" the only answer should be "Reid Voltus!!".hell yeah. formed in 2004 , the band was created a brilliant concept with noises and feedback (influenced by Sonic Youth). as the time pass and the band grows , they try not to push their entire ego to their music so they "minimize" their music. The band seems to immune to all kind of gibe peoples make, but now slowly they prove their existence and starting to be one of the well-received band in Bogor. The members of Reid Voltus was grew precisely at the Britpop Era and each of them had their own experiences of being in the band before they were united at Reid Voltus. After spending their youth at Britpop era now their music is more to guitar oriented. You can hear the 90's vibe on everu Reid Voltus's songs , but still they tend to add feedbacks sounds and noises. Deni who influenced by Black Frances from The Pixies wrote most of the song's lyrics which all of you can see that the lyric is talking about social life with explicit yet absurdies touches. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ **REID VOLTUS ARE** _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Andi Fauzi (Guitars) - Deni Taufiq Adi (Guitars & Vocals) - Muhammad Awaludin Syah (Bass) - M.
