From the heartland of South African alternative music comes SA Indie Volume 1 – an album packed with cutting-edge tunes, courtesy of SA’s indie labels and its true-to-their-roots rockers. 

SA Indie Volume 1 features several “first time ever on CD” releases, including aKING’s In The Twilight and Jack Parow’s Cooler As Ekke, the radio hits Something To Believe In (New Holland) and Talking To Myself (Jax Panik) as well as Pille Vir Kersfees by genre-shifting pop-electronica act Die Heuwels Fantasties.

Add to the mix such talents as SA indie kings Ashtray Electric, punk rock pioneers Fokofpolisiekar and exciting newcomers Wrestlerish - and you have an album packed with 17 sure-fire hits, making this compilation excellent value for money and a fantastic Christmas stocking filler - or gift for your favourite niece or nephew!

Guaranteed to be played on repeat in student digs, at braaiside jols and as a soundtrack to road trips all over the country, SA Indie Volume 1 captures the essence – and genius - of SA music’s thriving alternative scene.

“Sad Guy” is a whispered confession turned anthem. Ambient textures and swelling strings carry verses about suicidal ideation, fractured identity, and the mask of normalcy beneath a suit and tie.

This is a cover of one of my favourite afrikaans songs by Jack Parow.

BOUWER BOSCH - COOLER AS EKKE(Jack Parow Cover)

In 2003 an Afrikaans alternative band from Belleville became the first to have an Afrikaans song playlisted on national radio station 5FM with ‘Hemel op die Platteland’. 

Francois Badenhost, Hunter Kennedy, Johnny de Ridder, Wynand Myburgh and Jaco Venter then went on to enrage and infuriate god-fearing people throughout our fine land, jumping off stages, out of moving vehicles and straight into the hearts of young South Africans. 

Proving that they’re as relevant today as they were back then, Fokofpolisiekar recently crowdfunded R1 million to produce their new album, Selfmedikasie.

Fokof has produced a timeless album that’s the perfect snap-shot of where the band find themselves now, with lyrics that are profound, introspective and questioning of their personal and socio-political landscape. 

Fokof have allowed The Way of Us to share the first four tracks off their new album, and for a description of each track, accompanied by a breakdown of the music that inspired each song, click this: https://superbalist.com/thewayofus/categories/sound
