No other band is as representative of Malaysia’s rising indie scene as An Honest Mistake- inventive, energetic, enthusiastic, and colorful. The pop-punk/easycore sextet have been making waves for the past two years with their mix of addictive pop-punk with swirls of frenetic screamo, and as their recent Urbanscapes and Baybeats performances show, they’re here to stay.

              Already holding the VIMA 2010 Best College Act award, An Honest Mistake also have a 7-track self-titled debut album out now, showcasing gems like This Song Is So Random I Don’t Know Why, which has seen radio airplay and remains one of their signature sing-along’s that’s instantly recognizable.

               Juxtaposed directly with their affective ‘The Snake With Limbs’ , a song about betrayal and ‘I’m Down With You If You’re Down With It’, a 7-track album may not sound like much, but AHM manage to address an entire spectrum of emotions and situations into one neat purple package.

               With a loyal surge of purple-clad Dino Warriors backing them up, Darren Teh, Leonard Chua, Sheryl Goh, Danny New, Kevin ‘Cottie’ Tan, and Kevin Theng are here to prove the sky’s the limit for Malaysian music- and AHM are leading the pack.
