Seven-man local ska punk band, Johny Comes Lately has released their latest music video “Ayuh Bangkit”. The song came to be when Ebi’s brothers who are avid local football fans asked them to write a tune they can sing along to during Malaysia’s football games at the stadium.
Being a ska reggae fan, he immediately wanted to write a song that was inspired by bands such as the Harry J All Stars, Desmond Dekker and many more, whose songs football fans in the UK continue to sing in their stadiums.
“I remember going to a football game when I visited London and heard Chelsea fans singing along to The Liquidator and it immediately gave me chills on how ska music blended so well with football culture. We recorded the song to inspire not only sports fans, but the whole nation in general to spread positivity among youth because “BILA SATU KITA TAKKAN PECAH,” says Ebi (Bassist/Vocalist).
