We are in Jakarta Globe's ''Local Bands to Watch in 2014" List

"With constant gigs around the city, it isn’t like Vague is an unknown entity.

Yet the post-hardcore trio deserves a shoutout for standing out within a crowded music landscape filled with bands that almost sound synonymous. Instead of basing their aesthetic around the dreary hollow drone of their peers, Vague’s emotions feel personal, delivered with a ferocious passion that affects without resorting to teenage drama.

Their sound will remind older music fans of old-school post-hardcore acts like Planes Mistaken for Stars and Jets to Brazil (as well as the inevitable Fugazi comparison), but Vague is about breaking things down even more, down to hardcore’s very, well, core.

Their songs send emotions straight to your gut. Next year will see their first actual record (as opposed to digital EPs), ensuring even more stages will experience the power that is Vague."

That's what the article says. Some interesting descriptions there. I've never heard some of those comparisons before. Anyway, the list probably doesn't mean a lot but it's very cool to be lumped in with other talented bands/artists. Other band that 2/3 Vague members are in, Jirapah is also in the list. Our friends, Polka Wars, Barefood and Space System are also in it.
