GRRRL GANG RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND MUSIC VIDEO “BETTER THAN LIFE”

Debut album Spunky! out September 22
 

“The first full-length from fêted Indonesian indie pop band Grrrl Gang is a sparkly pop-punk confection tempered with biting dry humor.” – Bandcamp  

“After the vibe-setting first leg of the tune, the Indonesian trio burst to life with driving rhythms and enough attitude to sustain a small aircraft. Throw this one on at the function, and get ready to move.” – Consequence on “Spunky!” 

“The Indonesian indie-punks have a knack for that both lyrically and, er, guitaristically – as such, Spunky! bounces along in a way that channels its angry motivations into something far more positive.” – Guitar World on “Spunky!” 

“Indonesian trio Grrrl Gang are officially the coolest band on the planet 
right now.” – Loud Women 

“Songwriting that feels years beyond a debut” – Austin Town Hall  

Indonesian trio Grrrl Gang has just unveiled their latest single, “Better Than Life” which delves into Angeeta Sentana’s struggles with a mental disorder.

“Being diagnosed with any mental disorder is not a nice thing to have.”

It was written as a way to portray Sentana’s ongoing efforts to embrace this aspect of her life as something “normal”.  Even so, she still has moments of feeling overwhelmed and trapped in an “unhealthy” body/mind,  with no escape in sight. 

Sentana’s acceptance of her situation tends to be more cynical and defeatist rather than positive and healthy.  In her own words, she shares, “Being diagnosed with any mental disorder is not a nice thing to have. I’m still in the process of accepting it as a ‘normal’ part of my life. But there are times when I would feel super down about it.”  

Grrrl Gang’s upcoming full-length debut album, Spunky!, scheduled for release on September 22,  features “Better Than Life”.  Their signature raucous energy, coupled with Sentana’s emotive and attitude-filled vocals, promises to deliver an impactful musical experience.  
 
“Better Than Life’s” video, directed by Bathroom Girls, is part of a continuous movie, with this being the last chapter. Amidst a house party, an introverted girl seeks validation from her peers. Intoxicated, she’s dancing aggressively on her own among the crowd. She decides to have fun on her own like never before not caring about her surroundings. She just wants to be free. This is the only way that she could feel such feelings.
