Marjinal is an Indonesian punk rock band known for their sharp political lyrics and steadfast presence in the underground music scene. Formed in the late 1990s by lead vocalist Mike and guitarist Borneo, the duo started out performing on the streets of Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, amplifying their voices against social injustices and the struggles faced by the marginalized sectors of society. Their grassroots approach to music and activism quickly garnered a dedicated following, propelling Marjinal to become a voice for the voiceless in Indonesia's charged political landscape.
With a discography that includes hits like "Negri Ngeri" and "Indonesia Memanggil," Marjinal tackles topics ranging from human rights to governmental corruption. Their live performances, often charged with raw energy and an inherent call for action, have resonated with fans across generations. Over the years, Marjinal's influence has crossed national borders, as observed in collaborative projects such as "Marjinal PotBelly: Fuck Borders." Their acoustic album "Majik (Marjinal Akustik) - Free Spirit of All Nation" showcases the band's versatility and commitment to spreading their message through any medium necessary. Marjinal’s passionate discourse and DIY ethos have distinguished them as pillars of punk culture, both in Indonesia and internationally.
