Southeast Bound Festival 2015 @ Black Box, Publika, Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur (31/1/15)


When: 3.00pm - 10.00pm, Saturday, 31st January, 2015





SouthEast Bound Fest is a collaboration between Alt+ and ThaSmoosh with the thought of bringing together numerous acts from around the globe to play on one stage.

This first ever SEB Fest will feature a Chicago based hardcore band, Harms Way, stopping by KL for their s.e.a. tour with Palm from Osaka, Japan. Whatever That Means, a punk rock band based in Seoul, South Korea will be stopping KL for their last show on their MY - SG tour and Straight Forward, a hardcore band from Singapore will be featured as well.


Line Up:




Harm's Way - Chicago, USA



“Rust” is the new album from Harm’s Way. Recorded at Brick Top Recordings by Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos, Dead In The Dirt), mixed at God City Studios by Kurt Ballou (Converge, High On Fire), and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Nails). Brutally and meticulously refined, “Rust” brilliantly combines industrial repetition (think Godflesh), metal attack (think Sepultura, Helmet, Celtic Frost), and hardcore aggression. Showing that Harm’s Way have emerged from the wreckage of past genres as the new high watermark of heavy in contemporary aggressive music.

Opener “Infestation” stomps with machine-like precision before plunging into a depressing sonic dirge. While songs like “Law Of The Land”, “Hope”, “Cancerous Ways”, and others introduce guitar and electronic driven atmospherics into the arsenal. These subtle dynamics bleed into other aspects of “Rust” as well. Mid-album beast “Left To Disintegrate” unfurls as an unforgettable anti-anthem ripe with infectious creeping metallic undertones. While “Amongst The Rust” and “Turn To Stone” introduce guest vocals from Colin Young (Twitching Tongues) and Emily Jancetic. Both of them adding haunting nuance to the brute force of the band. All of this leads to the epic closer “Ease My Mind”; a take-no-prisoners aural bludgeoning so heavy that it needs to be heard to be believed.

...Whatever That Means Seoul, S.Korea



"This is a band that song after song, without explicitly stating it, shows a prolific awareness of the genre in even the most deceptively simple little flourishes..." ~Busan Haps Magazine

…Whatever That Means is a melodic punk rock band from Seoul, Korea. Since forming in early 2009, WTM has built a reputation as a hard working DIY band and was described by Alternative Press as, "the pop-punk face of the Korean music scene." They have toured throughout Korea, Malaysia, and the United States, performed at the Daejeon Rock Festival, and opened for international acts such as Strike Anywhere (USA), FCFive (Japan), The One Thought Moment (Japan), and NoOpinion (Germany) during their stops in Korea. May 2013 marks the release of WTM's 2nd full length album "Sixty-Eight, Twenty-Two" and will be followed by more touring throughout Korea and other parts of Asia.

Local Acts:

Kids On The Move



Started out in early 2003, with a few releases under their belt they move on to their debut full length titled “Changes”. The full length clearly potrays their changes over the years, with changes of line ups and their music sense. Kids On The Move consist of five people, Dean, Kaza, Caca, Syahmi and Minn.

They have been constantly on the road, sharing stage with bands such as FC Five, Miles Away, Comeback Kid, The Geeks, Have Heart, Parkway Drive, Ignite and Break Even. With a clear view of their goals, Kids On The Move strive on forward with more plans like playing outside of Asia and doing more tours. Surely there is much to be expect from them, only time will tell.
