JAKARTA - Two bands with heartbreaking musical identity and lyrics, for Revenge and Stand Here Alone have a special collaboration. The rhythm of the punk pop rhythm that is melodic wrapped in distortions radiates in the latest single "For You There (UKYDS)".

Boniex, a player for Revenge, said this song is a poem about a person's longing for a person who has long been lost from his life. Furthermore, the lyrics also describe someone who faces mental stress in his loneliness, depression, and a feeling that is not considered by the surroundings.

The idea of this collaboration seems to come from Boniex who has long wanted to work with Stand Here Alone. The opportunity came at the right time, so their collaboration finally materialized.

We often meet on stage and collaborate several times on off water events. Therefore, I am interested in trying it in the form of a single. For Revenge often collaborates with soloists, while duets with other bands are for the first time. It feels like a challenge in itself and a new experience because we don't just sing it, but we also write this single together. Moreover, this collaboration will bring listeners with nostalgia to the 2000s era when the band begins, "explained Boenix in a written broadcast received by VOI, July 19.

Taufik Andryyansyah alias Mbenk, bassist and vocalist Stand Here Alone, welcomed the discourse of collaboration with open arms. He felt that chemistry with for Revenge could be well established.

She sent a raw demo, which was just music, and invited her to work together on something different. We immediately felt clicked and finally arranged a workshop schedule for writing lyrics, compiling notations, and building chemistry from the two music worlds that actually had different characters, but it turned out to be unified," said Mbenk.

"From there, this collaboration feels more solid, what's more when Samuel took part in completing his music arrangement. When the recording felt even more special because we first recorded with a vocal director and it was done directly by Kamga. Really a very new experience for Stand Here Alone. .

Uniting the two genres of these two bands is a challenge in itself. However, the color difference on the other hand also adds to the uniqueness of their collaboration this time.

"Even though it is dominant with dark nuances and emotional lyrics typical of Revenge, the pop-punk spirit of Stand Here Alone still exists, as in terms of dynamics, tempo, and vocal character. That's where the excitement is because we will hear one song with two flavors. The result? Honestly, we are all proud," said Mbenk.

By exchanging creative ideas and ideas, the two bands were satisfied with the work they were born with.

Two bands that have strong characteristics can actually unite, without covering each other's identities. This can be an example for others that collaboration is not about who is dominant, but how to strengthen each other. Hopefully this song can also be an emotional bridge for anyone who is missing or who has experienced the feeling of "not being able to convey something to someone who is no longer there". Not only that, we want UKYDS to be a starting point for collaborative works that are bolder in the future, "concluded Mbenk.
