Originating from Solo, Central Java, Headbangers, also known as Bangersclub, is a music collective established in 2018 and initiated by GGONN and PRMTHLN. Comprised of musicians from Hardcore, Metal, Hip Hop, and Punk backgrounds, the collective focuses on exploring so-called “non-halal” EDM genres such as Riddim, DnB, Hardstyle, UK Dubstep, Schranz, Phonk, Acid Trap, and other forbidden elements.
Driven by a DIY and underground ethos, Headbangers revives rave culture through independent events held in non-conventional spaces—from warehouses to home courtyards. Actively running programs like Bangersclub Showcase, The Dance Dept, and Sound Of The Damned, Headbangers is also known for its independent touring series, including Cure Of The Curse Mixtapes Tour and Sanity Over Salary Tour.
They also host an annual rave event called BANGERFEST, featuring more than 10 performers from various collectives. With a strong focus on building connections across cities, Headbangers stands as a symbol of the meeting point between hardcore punk and electronic underground—positioned at the frontline of a noisy, free, and boundaryless alternative scene.
