Kula Wangsa is a Malaysian indie rock band that was formed in 2018. The band is comprised of Raja Naz (Vocals, rhythm guitar), Jai (Lead guitar), Irfan (Bass) and Wan (Drums); Who each have years of experience playing with other bands in the Malaysian independent music scene.

This band has both English and Malay songs which incorporates rock music elements from the 1970s up till the 1990s era and is heavily influenced by the psychedelic rock, jazz, blues, funk, rock and shoegaze genres.

In the beginning, Kula Wangsa was known as "RAJA" or "Raja Bunyian" which was a project led by Raja Naz; where he used a drum machine for early performances before recruiting the others. This band was completed with the arrival of Jai, Irfan and Wan, where the name "RAJA" was discontinued and marked the birth of Kula Wangsa.

In February 1999, three longtime friends from West Texas went to a pizza place in Austin, Texas, for a prearranged meeting with a young man from Illinois. The Illinoisan had just moved to Austin, and he had put up a flyer that caught the interest of the others. They ate pizza and discussed movies and arcana. They also decided to meet the next day with their various instruments (two guitars, bass, and drums). This happened, and over the coming months they picked a band name, then picked a better band name, then wrote and recorded an album. That album, called How Strange, Innocence, was largely out of tune, but the band members didn't really notice at the time. They optimistically printed 300 copies, and gave most of them away. It turned out they really liked playing together, so they kept doing so. A friend of theirs sent a recording of one of their live shows to a record label in Baltimore, and that label offered to put out albums for the band. The band agreed.
