Welcome to 9th installment of Heartattack! Hope everyone's doing good! Without further due, it's a tremendous honor to present our special guest *drumroll* none other than Saleh Husein. Besides performing with White Shoes & the Couples Company as well as the Adams, Ale is also known for his avid love for hardcore/punk.
In this episode, he will be sharing to us, some of his personal favorite tunes growing up.
Ale Antipony:
Jakarta circa ’94 - ’95, my first encounter with the devil music, yep that’s what my folks at home describe it (laughs). I’m so attached to it and I can’t help but to listen to it day and night without even stopping, and eventually begin introducing it to all my closest friends.
Hardcore! Yes, I’m proud to say that word just because it means a lot to me. Through hardcore, I know a thing or two about the language of attitude, something that is so closely embedded within its music. As a musician, that particular language shapes me into who I am today.
At that time, I was having difficulty to locate music references. So it was still very much limited around records catalog, zine, even stories from friends who travelled abroad to see all of my favorite bands such as Agnostic Front, Warzone, etc.
During that time, it was difficult to find music references. Due to limitations, I had to search for information through records catalog, or hearing stories from friends who’ve seen some of my favorite bands such as Agnostic Front, Warzone, etc.
From there, my introduction got even deeper. I begin reading hardcore/punk fanzines, taping my friend’s cassettes, burning CD’s off my friend’s collection, until eventually I'm able to get them properly.
This mixtape is a glimpse of music that I’ve heard and a lot more I guess! It’s indeed, a glorious memory for me!

Hows it goin y'all?! I hope everyone is doing well. On the 8th episode of Heartattack, we have Indra Chino as our guest contributor. Aside from running the infamous hardcore/punk distro Trueside Records, he also plays guitar on Final Attack (if you haven't heard of 'em, google 'em now). Indra will be sharing to us some of the bands that really help shaping Final Attack's musical journey.
From Indra Chino: Aight, so my good friend Jan asked me if I could do an episode of bands that influence Final Attack and me as a person. Growing up, I’ve always loved raw, fast, heavy, in your face kinda music. Back when I was in high school, I discovered bands like Minor Threat, Void, State of Alert, Cro-Mags, Negative Approach and so on. Those particular sound, feel and rawness really blew me away. Boy, they were really fast, weren’t they! I was totally hooked ever since. Not so long after that, I began discovering another side of hardcore, this time it got heavier. I got into bands like Madball, Merauder, Leeway, Judgeor better known as “NYHC” style of hardcore. Inspired by these particular sounds, I thought to myself “someday I gotta start a band that is influenced by all of these bands!”, so when I finally had the chance, I didn’t hesitate. Here’s the list of some bands (there are far too many to list!) that influence me and Final Attack as a band. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

14. Void - My Rules
15. Terror - Nothing To Me
Welcome to the 7th installment of Heart Attack! We will go all the way back to the year where New York Hardcore really took off and inspired many generations of current bands. It's funny when we say New York Hardcore (NYHC), most people would immediately come up with names like Sick of It all, Madball, and Agnostic Front, but the truth is New York City has so many other great bands that only exist within shorter period of times (some of them still survive to this day, some would even vanish). America's hardcore is all about its cities and how those cities reflect the sound of each and particular bands. When it comes to Big Apple, it's no greater mystery that the sounds embedded on each bands, is very much an honest portrayal of what they're gone through everyday life, which comes in form of hope, despair, lost, anger as well as other type of emotions. In this episode, I will be sharing to all of you, some of my favorite jams from the early days of NYHC. I might've missed some bands as I can't possibly include every bands, due to limited time and space. Enjoy!

When your host with the most, Januar Kristianto, asked me if I wanted to make a special Converge episode of Heart Attack I had to immediately say yes as this Massachusetts metal-hardcore band played a big role in my youth. The group's atmospheric, heavy and often spastic music caught my attention at the first listen, and their constant evolution of sound kept me anticipating their next releases. The following are some of my favorite songs by the group, particularly from When Forever Comes Crashing, The Poacher Diaries split with Agoraphobic Nosebleed, You Fail Me, Petitioning the Empty Sky, the Caring and Killing compilation and perhaps their most famous album of all, Jane Doe.
I unfortunately could not find my collection of original Converge CDs, so some of the songs here come from remastered albums. I hope that you will be able to listen to the original releases because the gloomy production of When Forever Comes Crashing and Petitioning the Empty Sky's rawness really added atmosphere to those albums (or perhaps I'm just being nostalgic). Whether you are a long time listener of Converge or you are unfamiliar with their music, I hope you will enjoy this mix!
