Indie-rock band Reality Club brings sharp, catchy, emotionally charged energy to Indonesia's music scene. The identity of their work is homemade craft turned global — poetic yet relatable songs built on catchy guitar riffs and strong vocals, drawing on influences like Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema Club, and The Strokes. Formed in Jakarta in 2016, the band famously self-produced its early material in guitarist Faiz Novascotia Saripudin's bedroom, and now consists of siblings Fathia "Cia" Izzati (vocals, keys) and Faiz (vocals, guitar) alongside Nugi Wicaksono (bass) and Era Patigo (drums). What makes Reality Club distinctive is how far that DIY, self-releasing spirit has carried them — from free mall gigs in their early days to a devoted fanbase of millions of monthly listeners.

Reality Club's credibility as a band has grown into genuine international reach. Across four studio albums — Never Get Better, What Do You Really Know?, the AMI-winning Reality Club Presents…, and Who Knows Where Life Will Take You? — they've turned songs like "Anything You Want" and "Love Epiphany" into fan favorites, then taken them on tours across Asia, North America, and Europe, and opened for NIKI on the Asian leg of her Buzz World Tour. They've also shown a willingness to stand on principle, withdrawing from SXSW 2024 in protest of the festival's military and defense-industry sponsorships. However, Reality Club never treats the business side as separate from the art — openly acknowledging that sustaining a creative life means learning marketing and the industry too, and letting that clear-eyed realism protect the freedom that made their music theirs in the first place.
