HARK! It's A Crawling Tar-Tar were an experimental hardcore/punk group from Bandung City, Indonesia. The group incorporated thrash, crust - even skewed segments of hybrid folk.
Their 2005 album 'Dorr Darr Gelap Communiqué' has been getting some spins from me lately, really ambitious album/band...can tell they aimed to create something unique and different.
The name is pretty questionable/bad (vocalist apparently based it off a random thought in his head), but the music is anything but -- def recommend giving it a try.
hey dude, nice blog u got going here!
ReplyDeleteHark! is a great band, with strong political views in their lyrics as well.. if i remember correctly, in the liner note it says the name represents the declining state of the country's welfare of their society and its negligent govt.
this release seemed to be a one off thing, which sucks... members are scattered in various bands in the hc punk scene in bandung indonesia.
