Mournful is the name that Gemma Buana (Bass), Mirza P. Wardhana (Guitar, Vocal) & Rizki Firmansyah (Drum) took as their identity as a band since early 2019. Bonded together by blood & sometimes booze, the three of them are not exactly new to Bandung’s very own scene. Gemma was in Curly Sound and garage duo Fuzz Oh. Mirza is the frontman of the inactive <a href="spotify:artist:5caKNcAqUMkHFpR2RUIWCC" data-name="Soft Blood">Soft Blood</a>, Toy Tambourine, Graphic Latin and his many other side projects. While Rizki was a drummer of punk veteran Gladiator who now also a resident drummer of <a href="spotify:artist:5UGsZJfNTNlTiGCmnI8Lud" data-name="Kaitzr">Kaitzr</a> and Electric Sperm. He was actively involved in Bandung & Cimahi punk scene.
In contrary to popular belief, you might think that they chose the name Mournful to fit the dark, eerie, and sad vibe, but heck, it would call for a big no from them. Their comical personality will shred all your expectations. While still, they tend to manage their so-called post-punk music sounds as fresh as it can be. Forget about the ‘their music is perfect for fans of...” or “their sound is heavily influenced by...’ yada yada, they’ll shred every expectation you have.
