The Panturas

The Panturas are a Bandung surf rock band whose sound mixes reverb-heavy guitars with the speed of beach punk and the Indonesian surf tradition known as indorock. They've built a large regional following by pairing instrumental-leaning surf grooves with playful, local-flavored songwriting, which has made them one of the more recognizable guitar bands to come out of Indonesia's indie scene in recent years. If you like your surf rock fast, loose and closer to a punk show than a beach lounge, they're a good fit for a live set.
