Sore

SORE was formed in 2001 by childhood friends Ade Paloh, Mondo Gascaro, Awan Garnida, Bemby Gusti, and Reza Dwiputranto. They redefined Indonesian indie music with two seminal albums: Centralismo (2005) and Ports of Lima (2008). Their sonic journey expanded through the EP Sombreros Kiddos (2010), featuring Malaysian singer Atilia Haron, the compilation SOREALIST (2013), and their third album, Los Skut Leboys (2015). After releasing the collaborative EP Mevrouw (2018), and following Reza’s departure in 2019, they returned with their fourth album, Quo Vadis, SORE? (2023)—a bittersweet milestone carrying the final creative touch of the late Ade Paloh. Following Ade's passing, original members Awan Garnida and Bemby Gusti refuse to let the twilight fade. Reborn as SORE Ze Band, they are joined by a formidable new lineup sharing the same sonic DNA: Gilang Pramudya (Guitar/Vocal), Marvin Muhammad (Guitar/Vocal), Aufa Kantadiredja (Keyboards/Vocal/Synctech), and Lutfhi Zamzami (Piano/Vocal). This revitalized collective breathes fresh life into SORE’s signature baroque-pop and whimsical arrangements. Marking this new chapter, SORE Ze Band released their highly anticipated single "Surya Jelang Menepi" on May 20, 2026-a lush, poignant homage to their roots and a bold step into The Evening Bloom. The sun might be setting, but for SORE Ze Band, the music plays on into the night.
