Intro

Project Pop is the sonic equivalent of a variety show hosted by your funniest friends. Their music is a vibrant, chaotic explosion of styles that refuses to take itself seriously while remaining impeccably crafted. You will hear slick boy-band harmonies one minute and a tongue-in-cheek rap verse the next, all underpinned by high-energy production that mirrors the frantic, colorful energy of Indonesian urban life.

What truly sets them apart is their ability to use humor as a vehicle for cultural observation. They parody everything from nu-metal aggression to the 'tacky' synthesizers of rural dance music, yet they do so with an obvious love for the genres they are skewering. The interplay between the six members, including the distinct vocal contrast of Tika and the rest of the group, creates a theatrical atmosphere that feels like a live performance even on record.

Start with the album 'Pop OK' or the hit 'Dangdut Is The Music of My Country.' These tracks perfectly encapsulate their mission: blending global trends like Linkin Park-style riffs with local flavors to create something that is both a hilarious parody and a genuine anthem of national pride.

Project Pop is an Indonesian comedic co-ed group from Bandung. Founded in 1996 as a younger generation of P-Project, they distinguished themselves by writing original music. Their first album, Bakpia vs Lumpia was a commercial and critical failure, but beginning with their 2000 album Tu Wa Ga Pat they found mainstream success. Drawing on current musical trends when writing their songs, they have done songs in pop, dangdut, soul, rock, house, and rap. As of 2017, they have released nine albums.
