Efek Rumah Kaca, an Indonesian indie rock band, surfaced on the music scene with a compelling blend of thought-provoking lyrics and a fresh approach to alternative soundscapes. The band, formed in 2001, is composed of Cholil Mahmud (vocals, guitar), Adrian Yunan Faisal (bass, vocals), and Akbar Bagus Sudibyo (drums, vocals). Their name, which translates to "Greenhouse Effect" in English, reflects the band's concern for environmental issues and their commitment to advocacy through music.

With their self-titled debut album "Efek Rumah Kaca" released in 2007, they quickly established a strong following, capturing attention with their socio-political commentary wrapped in melodic harmonies and intricate arrangements. Throughout the years, they have produced several acclaimed works including "Kamar Gelap" (2008) and "Sinestesia" (2015), which continued to address prevalent social issues, holistically painting a picture of contemporary Indonesian society. Their music is not just heard but felt, resonating with the hearts of many and solidifying their place in the Indonesian music industry. With a decade under their belt, Efek Rumah Kaca celebrated their journey with the "Together Whatever Sessions Present Efek Rumah Kaca 10th Year Album Anniversary (Live)," showcasing their evergreen appeal and musical integrity in a live performance setting.
