Kotak is an indomitable force in the Indonesian music scene, having cemented their place as one of the country's premier rock bands. Formed in 2004, the band originally consisted of three members, but it wasn't until the arrival of the charismatic vocalist Tantri Syalindri Ichlasari in 2007 that Kotak truly began to shape its unique identity. Alongside Tantri, the band is rounded out by Swasti Sabdastantri on bass and Cella on guitars, while their former drummer, Hafiz Faturrahman, left in 2021, and the position has seen varying musicians since then.

Kotak has continually won the hearts of fans with their potent blend of powerful lyrics, driving guitar riffs, and compelling rhythms, establishing themselves as a staple in Indonesia's rock genre. Their recent releases, such as the hard-hitting "Beraksi," which showcased its staying power through various remixes including one by Winky Wiryawan & Mahesa Utara, reveal the band's ability to evolve and adapt their sound without losing their core energy. Tracks like "18+," "Local Pride," and "Hantam! (Theme Song From 'Satria Dewa Gatotkaca')" exemplify Kotak's diverse thematic approach, ranging from youth empowerment to local cultural pride and contributions to film soundtracks. With a relentless drive to inspire and entertain, their live album "Identitas (Live)" captures the raw energy and passion they bring to stages, underscoring their reputation as one of Indonesia's most captivating live rock acts. Through anthemic numbers like "Sayap-Sayap Garuda" and "Teman Palsu," Kotak continues to narrate their journey, wearing their sonic identity confidently as they resonate with fans across and beyond Indonesian borders.
