It’s just so great to see the local independent music scene growing bigger day by day. Over the years, we’re seeing a number of local independent bands breaking into the mainstream market, winning prestigious music awards and playing shows outside of the country. Not only that, independent bands are getting more creative and serious about the business and have been producing amazing albums and music videos. So, with that we’d like to share with you 10 of our favourite music videos by local independent acts. (We’re not ranking them though, just sharing our favourite 10 
)
Pop Shuvit – Oh! Sizuka.
You really gotta check this one out cause it’s just super cool with all things 80’s! The video really brings you back to your childhood days, i tell ‘ya.
Pure Vibration – Love
Taken off their album ‘Love & Peace’, this is a great song to chill out to. Spreading the love all around is what they aim to do and you can really see that in this video, with some cool cameo appearances by friends from other bands and famous faces in the music industry.
Butterfingers – Mati Hidup Kembali
One of their best songs from the album ‘Kembali’. We’re liking the natural and spontaneous singing/acting by the boys in the video. Plus, the concept of war that they portray in the video (though not too extreme) gives more emotions to the song.
SevenCollar T-Shirt – Wild Child
This is the first single from SevenCollar T-Shirt’s latest album ‘The Great Battle’. Adapting the concept from their album artwork, this video is simple yet truly showcases the band’s personality and music direction for this album. Pretty amazing camera work and editing too.
Hujan – Bila Aku Sudah Tiada
A great song that is complimented by a great video. Shot in black and white and featuring Noh as the lead subject, the video was shot at the now defunct Flat Pekeliling. The location somehow fits the lyrics of the song perfectly.
Hollywood Holiday – Love Me Butch
This is probably one of the most creatively produced music videos in Malaysia, especially among independent artists. Edited with some amazing computer graphics, this video certainly set a benchmark for budding video producers in the country.
Disagree – Osaka
Here’s another video that sticks to the concept of the album cover. It is fully animated and actually kind of…cute. Heh…awesome song too, check this one out…
Estranged – Yang Pernah
The first independent band to win the Anugerah Juara Lagu with their hit ‘Itu Kamu’, Estranged came out with their first single from the album ‘Remain Unknown’ with this song. The boys looked a tad bit different with the ‘guyliner’ on, but hey check out the individual ‘rocking out’ shots and the band performance shots as well. We think they rock.
Phlowtron – Adikku Pandai Menari
This is Phlowtron’s first single from their 2008 album WARISAN SENIKATA MALAYA. Using motion graphics, the video looks fresh and alive, full of colours…complimenting the song well.
Stonebay – Si Murai Penipu
Finally, a music video from this awesome song! After releasing ‘Si Murai Penipu’ for a few months now, Stonebay recently released its official music video, and we are loving it! The black-and-white comic book inspired video just gives this song a little bit more punch and we bet you can’t get enough of it.
There you go, our favourite music videos by local independent acts so far. If you think we’ve missed out on any other great music videos, share with us right here! We wanna know what YOU like. Cheers!
