Background:
Formed in December 2004 by Boy, Antikolor is inspired by bands like Not Available, No Use for a Name, Goldfinger, and Blink-182. The band went on hiatus in 2010 and made a comeback driven by Boy's restlessness during the pandemic, wanting to step out of his comfort zone as a worker by re-recording their old works with Mamai. The addition of new members Robby and Raihan has brought a fresh and contemporary sound to Antikolor's music while maintaining their punk roots.
Antikolor, known for their "LOL Punk" proclamation, continues to use simple and humorous lyrics wrapped in easy-listening Pop Punk arrangements. They aim to invite their listeners, especially Pop Punk sub-genre enthusiasts, to reminisce about the 2000s Pop Punk era.
