Startover is an Indonesian emo and alternative rock band channeling raw emotion, atmospheric sound, and lyrical vulnerability into a deeply personal musical experience. With influences rooted in post-hardcore, early 2000s emo, and ambient-driven rock, their sound is a blend of haunting guitar lines, heavy rhythms, and heartfelt, introspective themes.
Formed in 2022, the band found its full voice in 2024 when the final lineup came together: Evan and Afri on guitars, Dika on drums, Ervan on bass, and Arrinal as the lead vocalist. Each member brings their own emotional depth and sonic texture, forging a sound that feels both nostalgic and honest crafted not just to be heard, but to be felt.
In 2025, Startover released their debut single, Whisper You Don’t Hear a song that explores silent pain, hidden longing, and the unspoken truths that often echo louder than words. It marks the beginning of a new chapter, not only for the band but for anyone who’s ever carried a quiet storm inside.
Startover is music for those who overthink, feel too much, and find comfort in melancholy. This is more than a band it’s a space for release, reflection, and starting over.
