JUICE’s latest episode of Detuned brings together two key figures in the local music scene: We’ve got Aidil from Couple and Abe Yed from No Good – two indie maestros who didn’t just play the scene, they defined it.

This episode offers a raw, unfiltered conversation between the two friends who have significantly shaped the scene. It opens with a classic, simple intro setting the tone for a nostalgic and deeply personal journey where Aidil and Abe Yed candidly discuss their early encounters, the evolution of the hardcore scene, and the experiences that have defined them.

Long story short, it’s a backstage pass to the gritty, no-holds-barred journey of two friends who turned their passion into anthems.

If you’ve ever wondered about Couple’s origins and Abe Yed’s transition from Killeur Calculateur to No Good, plus his first experience with a guitar in Kelantan, Detuned is spilling the tea on these moments that shed light on their growth as musicians.

Giving cred to the hardcore scene, both musicians speak with a mix of reverence and realism, acknowledging the scene’s impact on their work while also contemplating its evolution.

The duo also takes time to discuss their gear, specifically their pedal setups, which have become integral to their sound. For the gearheads out there, this segment is pure gold, offering a peek into the technical side of their music-making process.

But even for those less technically inclined, the passion with which they speak about their instruments and soundscapes is infectious.
