00:00 We used to fight over food.
00:01 After the fight, we'd go out to eat.
00:04 Sometimes we'd fight over funny things.
00:06 We'd play a game of Dota.
00:08 He'd make a dish and I'd hit him.
00:10 That's it.
00:11 Yo, gang!
00:18 It's Motif Trending Session, baby.
00:20 And we have the winner of
00:22 Video Music Tergempat 2023,
00:25 S.O.G!
00:27 Yes!
00:28 *Beep beep beep*
00:30 Is there a sound?
00:31 *Beep beep beep*
00:32 Is it your own sound?
00:33 What's up, boss? How you doing, man?
00:41 I'm good.
00:42 How are you, man?
00:42 Very good, thank you.
00:43 Today, I'm Nazrin, a representative of BAN.
00:45 Representative?
00:46 The other one is Dai.
00:46 The other one is Dai.
00:48 The other one is Dai.
00:49 Daim is also Dai.
00:50 Oh my!
00:51 Oh my!
00:51 How did it happen?
00:52 Why did it happen?
00:53 Can you share?
00:54 Why did you send a representative?
00:57 They're doing a show, Rockstar.
00:58 Rockstar Live.
00:59 Rockstar Lifestyle.
01:00 I understand.
01:01 I understand.
01:02 Maybe you can introduce yourself to the new audience
01:06 who may not know S.O.G. yet.
01:08 Hi everyone.
01:10 I'm Nazrin from the band,
01:14 A Couple of Crazy People,
01:15 or the name of the band is S.O.G.
01:17 The name is S.O.G.
01:18 I'm the lead vocalist.
01:21 Nice, awesome, man.
01:22 So, how did the name S.O.G come about?
01:25 Like, from all the names you can come up with for your band,
01:28 you know, like, why S.O.G?
01:30 You have to ask Adek.
01:32 Because he's the one who came up with the idea,
01:35 which is not that clever.
01:37 Okay.
01:38 The name S.O.G is a different name.
01:40 The band's name is Sound of Genocide.
01:43 But by that time, it was 2005.
01:46 In 2005, we were still in high school.
01:49 And then, we made a song talking about all those wars.
01:54 So, when we started to grow up,
01:57 we felt like,
01:58 "Eh, we can't do Sound of Genocide.
02:00 Like, we are too young to speak about that.
02:04 Like, we're not deaf enough."
02:05 So, deaf...
02:06 The issue was too serious.
02:07 Like, when we thought,
02:10 "Eh, the kids want to talk about this, right?
02:12 We'll have to ask them questions in the corner,
02:13 and it'll be over."
02:14 So, we decided to change the name
02:18 to be more natural.
02:20 But it's not natural,
02:21 the name of the band is actually...
02:23 But it sounds fun.
02:24 S.O.G sounds fun.
02:25 It sounds actually like a comedy drama.
02:30 Yeah, true.
02:31 Like, the whole village is crazy.
02:32 One whole gang just doing fun things.
02:35 That's the concept.
02:36 Actually, S.O.G is YOLO.
02:38 YOLO's lifestyle.
02:39 Okay, I see.
02:40 Rockstar lifestyle.
02:41 There's no rockstar.
02:42 There's more YOLO than rockstar.
02:46 (S.O.G. - YOLO)
02:49 So, what do you think is unique about S.O.G.
03:02 If we compare it to other bands,
03:03 because we know every band has their own uniqueness.
03:07 What do you think is S.O.G.
03:08 I think because of S.O.G.
03:09 Because it's YOLO,
03:10 so, we like to do what we like.
03:14 For example, in the early days,
03:16 we were too "Teen Angst".
03:19 When we were young, everything was about to collapse.
03:22 So, the music was too energetic.
03:24 So, maybe the Teen Angst is still burning inside us
03:28 even though the band has been around for almost 20 years.
03:32 But the energy is still there.
03:34 The hype.
03:35 I think the composition is actually a lot of
03:39 resemblance of our own lives.
03:42 Our life experiences.
03:43 So, in terms of musicality,
03:45 people always talk about the Nusantara element.
03:49 But I think that one is because we are Malays,
03:52 so, we are playing music that is a lot more than our own.
03:56 That's all.
03:57 I see.
03:57 S.O.G. was started by you and your brother?
04:00 Actually, it started with a band called Schoolmate.
04:03 All of us were in the band as supervisors.
04:04 - Supervisors? - We were just teachers.
04:06 Supervisors?
04:07 But you were playing songs like this?
04:09 But at that time, we didn't play songs like this.
04:12 At that time, we played acoustic songs.
04:13 Ustaz Azam was angry.
04:16 That's it. I was like, "Why are you so angry?"
04:18 But he played songs like this.
04:19 At that time, we played songs like Hotel California.
04:23 Then, we expanded.
04:25 We jammed every week.
04:26 At that time, we were like, "It's fun to play rock."
04:29 Right. So, you started to perform for Teacher's Day.
04:32 Yes, that's right. Teacher's Day.
04:34 Did you call them or did you just say, "I want to do it."?
04:37 It was like an insert thing to perform during Teacher's Day.
04:42 So, we decided to form a band.
04:45 So, we calculated that the SOG's birthday
04:49 was on Teacher's Day.
04:52 The first performance was on 16th May 2005.
04:55 People said it was significant
04:57 because we remembered Teacher's Day.
04:58 So, we remembered the SOG at that time.
05:00 - That was the beginning. - Yes, the beginning.
05:02 I understand. That's cool, man.
05:04 [Music]
05:15 At that time, you thought, "Okay, why not?"
05:17 "Let's try."
05:18 Did you guys play the basic guitar?
05:21 Okay, at first, we thought that everyone had a dream.
05:27 Like, everyone wanted to be a doctor, an architect, a pilot.
05:30 At that time, playing music was just jamming around.
05:33 The knowledge came from jamming around.
05:36 Literally, we were jamming around.
05:38 We hung out at night, when we were in school.
05:40 When the class was over, the neighbors brought out their guitars.
05:42 We were jamming around.
05:44 So, we didn't think about doing music full-time at that time.
05:51 Because, if you follow my dream,
05:53 my twin brother's dream,
05:55 we wanted to be professional football players.
05:57 Oh.
05:58 But, God had shown us that this is the way.
06:02 So, we pursued music.
06:04 And then, we continued to study music at the university, college.
06:11 We never expected to reach this level.
06:14 That's interesting, man.
06:15 So, do you still play football now?
06:18 Yes, I do.
06:19 I just finished playing yesterday.
06:21 My legs are shaking.
06:23 Okay, at least you can still have your hobby of playing football.
06:26 That's right.
06:27 Okay, maybe you can share.
06:30 Because you said that you've been in a band for 20 years.
06:33 Maybe you can share a sweet or bitter experience
06:38 that you can't forget.
06:39 Or, is that the turning point for your band?
06:42 I think, one of my best moments, personally.
06:46 I don't know about others.
06:47 In the band, we went to France.
06:52 We recorded the album for one month.
06:54 We went there in 2018.
06:56 We went to Paris to record our album there.
07:00 The best part was, all the money we earned from the tour,
07:04 including the payment show and the merch,
07:08 we spent it all and flew there.
07:12 So, we spent a month there.
07:14 It felt surreal.
07:16 It felt like, "Are we really here?"
07:19 And we cried a lot during the process.
07:22 Because, from the start, jamming on the road,
07:26 and then, the teacher's lecture.
07:28 We never expected to make an album in a foreign country.
07:32 It was different.
07:34 Every time we step on a new level,
07:37 we always think, "We're here, but where's the back?"
07:40 Wow, we're so far away.
07:41 There are so many stairs.
07:43 Oh, man. That's exciting.
07:45 So, I'm pretty sure you guys have plans for your future.
07:47 For sure.
07:48 You do, right?
07:49 We'll talk about that later.
07:50 I want to ask you a little bit more about our award show here.
07:54 Because we only have two weeks left.
07:56 That's right.
07:57 Before we announce who's the winner for Video Music Tergempak.
08:02 How do you feel about this?
08:03 So far, how's the process,
08:06 this journey in this Tergempak Most Wanted Awards?
08:09 We're very thankful.
08:11 Because we believe that this music video
08:14 is the best we've ever produced.
08:17 I don't know about you, Naim, but you've done a lot of music videos.
08:21 But in the end,
08:23 the music video "Kudrat" is something else.
08:28 The production, everything,
08:31 everyone involved, they gave 200%.
08:34 That's what we should at least have an achievement.
08:40 So, this is the first Tergempak Most Wanted.
08:43 We don't want to put high hopes because the other music videos are also powerful.
08:48 That's right.
08:49 We have Dola, Kai Bakar, Nabila Zalif, Hasif Upin, Zainal Zain.
08:54 So, we're like, okay, we've reached this level.
08:58 We're already thankful.
09:00 Okay.
09:00 So, in this category, with such big names like this,
09:04 who do you think is your competitor?
09:06 No doubt, Dola.
09:08 Dola is your biggest competitor.
09:09 They have two, right?
09:10 Yes, they're next level.
09:13 They're next level. Okay.
09:15 You became a champion in a prestigious award.
09:33 How has that changed your career?
09:36 From that day when I won the award,
09:38 that was the day that I had the most texts, Insta stories,
09:42 I didn't repost anything.
09:44 Everything was flooded.
09:45 Yes, it was flooded.
09:46 Until that time, everything changed.
09:49 I don't know, personally, I must say, it's a curse for me.
09:54 Because we don't have a name.
09:56 And then everything was overwhelming.
09:58 Somehow, we felt like we were in a dangerous position.
10:01 Oh, how come?
10:03 Because you've become a target.
10:04 From there, we had to know which friends came, not just friends.
10:09 I see.
10:10 They wanted to get money from us.
10:14 So from there, it was like, "Oh, okay."
10:16 So in all the songs that you have made,
10:17 how many in total songs have you guys done?
10:21 For SOG, I think the latest album was the fourth.
10:27 Fourth album.
10:29 So if you add it up with the single, 60, I think.
10:33 60 songs that you have.
10:34 Yes.
10:35 On Spotify.
10:36 Yes.
10:37 So there must be a lot that haven't been released yet.
10:38 That's right.
10:39 In words.
10:40 I mean, some of them have been recorded, but not included in the album.
10:44 I mean, it's not done yet.
10:45 Okay.
10:46 There are also.
10:47 What do you think is the strength of your songs
11:00 that makes your fans, I don't know, they can relate to your song
11:04 or they can feel what you're telling them?
11:06 Most parts of our songs, it's a lot related to
11:09 the journey of young people, which is the easiest.
11:13 Teen angst.
11:14 So the best thing is that our crowd is intrigued.
11:19 They want to know more, want to know more about our languages.
11:23 So from there, the best thing is that we can create a fan base that is inquisitive.
11:30 That's what we're good at.
11:32 Like we always say,
11:33 fans of SOG or supporters are more polite.
11:37 That's the best thing.
11:39 I mean, their time show is a bit long.
11:42 Of course, Amal.
11:43 In terms of when they listen at home,
11:46 they learn the meaning of the lyrics.
11:49 Because of your story, what the song means.
11:51 That's right.
11:52 That's beautiful.
11:53 That's awesome, man.
11:55 Gempa Most Wanted Awards and Gempa Most Wanted.
11:57 Our theme is Y2K.
11:59 You grew up in that generation.
12:02 Yeah.
12:03 Somehow.
12:04 Yeah, somehow you're in that generation.
12:06 What was your biggest memory that you feel like from that generation of Y2K
12:11 that you remember to this day?
12:13 That was the time that I really introduced to music properly.
12:20 Because my brothers, we were the last.
12:22 Me and my twin were the last.
12:24 You guys are the youngest in the family.
12:25 So they were all into music.
12:27 And we had a band, like all the brothers,
12:30 like Jackson 5.
12:32 Five brothers and a band.
12:34 Is there any way I can listen to the song?
12:36 Oh yeah, there's no way.
12:38 They're all married.
12:39 I mean, it's all on YouTube.
12:41 It's a grunge band.
12:42 If we want to search, what do we want to search?
12:43 Juxtapose.
12:44 Juxtapose, okay.
12:45 So my brothers, they're the ones who introduced me,
12:49 or the band, the international band,
12:51 that somehow didn't go on TV,
12:53 that made me interested.
12:54 And the fashion, like,
12:56 "Oh, this is fashion, fashion."
12:57 Fashion, fashion that can't be done in Malaysia.
12:59 But we learned.
13:00 Yes, yes, yes.
13:01 At that time, there was no internet.
13:04 We only relied on magazines.
13:06 So at that time, we were really...
13:08 Magazines were like something that we had to...
13:12 It's your source of content.
13:13 Yeah, if you're like a woman, you like to buy Seventeen, right?
13:16 That's right, that's right.
13:17 That's right.
13:18 So like...
13:19 Want to see the fashion, the clothes, the styling, etc.
13:21 So we also had a music magazine.
13:22 So at that time, we wanted to dig for new things,
13:25 "Oh, this, this, this, came from Malaysia."
13:27 That's where we learned all kinds of things.
13:29 Maybe you can share more about
13:31 your personality in the group.
13:34 You know, like, who is the lead,
13:36 always the leader,
13:37 who is always down a little bit, you know?
13:40 Like, last year, SOG just had a very huge transitioning
13:45 to Band-Mates.
13:46 Okay.
13:47 Which is, right now,
13:50 SOG is only three of us.
13:52 Among these three,
13:54 me, Adik, my twin brother,
13:57 and Kimi, the bassist.
13:59 So if you want to talk about the twins,
14:02 I think,
14:03 we're the only ones who have remained since the beginning,
14:05 2005 until now.
14:07 So if you want to talk about the character,
14:11 he's like Yin Yang.
14:13 Okay.
14:14 So black and white.
14:15 So he's...
14:16 The funny thing is, I don't know,
14:17 I think, most of the time,
14:19 we fight.
14:20 Yeah, he fights.
14:22 But he doesn't fight until he's angry.
14:25 Eh, until that level.
14:26 But we've fought, we've punched each other.
14:28 After the punch,
14:29 like, 30 minutes after,
14:30 "Let's hang out and eat."
14:31 Sometimes we fight over funny things.
14:33 I play Dota 11.
14:35 Suddenly he makes a joke,
14:36 I punch him.
14:37 That's it.
14:38 That's really the term,
14:42 "The water will never stop flowing."
14:43 We've felt that.
14:45 Okay, I see.
14:46 So we don't want to do it that way.
14:48 That's the way we...
14:49 Our conversation, don't break up.
14:50 That's the chemistry.
14:52 It's not quite right, but that's it.
14:54 And the other one,
14:55 the latest addition was Kimmy.
14:57 Kimmy has been around with SOG for a long time,
14:59 since 2010.
15:00 He's always with us,
15:01 always in sessions with us.
15:03 But last year,
15:04 we were really happy to have him in the band.
15:07 The three of them are disciplined,
15:09 but I don't know why the other one died.
15:12 That's it.
15:15 The three of them create a great synergy.
15:18 SOG always dies.
15:19 So as long as we breathe,
15:21 that's what SOG is about.
15:23 That's how we create.
15:24 I like to hear that.
15:25 Maybe for the voters out there,
15:28 maybe you can give a manifesto
15:30 to SOG.
15:32 To boost the votes.
15:34 Let's say,
15:37 if you vote for us to win,
15:40 we promise
15:42 we'll do something really great for you.
15:46 We'll try to invite...
15:48 This is ambitious.
15:51 We'll invite the high council to join us.
15:55 I don't know if we'll do a fight club concept,
15:58 but it's going to be a special gig.
16:00 That's the best part.
16:01 So, don't vote for the other one.
16:03 There you go, man.
16:08 A manifesto for SOG.
16:11 So don't forget to vote, guys.
16:13 Please keep voting.
16:14 Because you're the future of SOG.
16:18 Vote me.
16:20 Let's go.
16:22 [Sog is a global, independent, non-profit organization]
16:25 [that promotes social justice, equality, and inclusion]
16:28 [in the face of climate change.]
