Introducing Playburst
Playburst is a new emo outfit formed in 2019 by former and current members of bands like Couple, Tools Of The Trade, The Fridays, Crack Guilty, Jalan Sehala, Code Error, Kah-Roe-Shi and Pakatan Haram Jadah.
United by their love of 90s midwest emo, math rock and all the colours of punk rock and hardcore that they didn’t really get to explore much with their other bands, Playburst is a fresh new musical adventure that will hopefully benefit from all the other adventures that the band members have had so far with their other bands.
Their debut cassette EP was released in June 2019 by Utarid Tapes (which promptly sold out its 250 copies on pre-order), and a full-length album followed suit in October 2019, released on cassette on 13 October 2019 by Teenage Head Records (which sold out its 200 copies on release day). With their debut album in tow, the band hopes to tour and play as many shows as their schedules permit them, and bring their brand of emotive joy to all corners of Malaysia, the region, and hopefully the world.
