Band: Bittersweet
Genre: Indie Rock
Bittersweet began in mid-2004 with 2 members who had the same musical interests. Both heavily influenced by British music, the two decided to put their heads together and record an EP, just for fun. After the recording was completed Herri and Zabil distributed the material for feedback, which was mainly positive. When Zabil joined the Malaysian teaching force he had to quit the band, which left Bittersweet with only one of its founding members. Determined not to abandon what they started, Herri set about forming a complete line-up. He enlisted Dinie as their bassist first of all, before adding Hafiez (guitarist) to the line-up, Pijie as Bittersweet's vocalist with Emai on keyboards. Bittersweet finished recording their 2nd EP (Night and Morning Tales) on November 2004. Bittersweet finished recorded their 1st single (A Perfect Match) on June 2006.
Sound: Bittersweet sounds like most indie and brit-pop band but "Capital E" is well-blended with dangdut. The other songs are typical indie.
Lyrics: This is where they shines. The lyrics are something special. Their songs have meanings. No complain.
Impression: Bittersweet is simply magnificent. I rated them as one of the best indie band in Malaysia right now. There's nothing I dislike about this band, it's a bit different and it's a bit the same but you can't help sing along, a lot of the songs have an anthem like quality about them. "Capital E", "A Perfect Match" and "It's Monday" are all great.
