<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>No Good</strong></h2>



<p>Portraying a meaning far from its name, No Good is a straight up punk band exploring popular tropes in the genre sung in the Kelantanese dialect. Known for tracks like ‘Che Using’ and ‘Sek Kito Jange Pecoh (#SKJP)’, the band has built a reputation for explosive live shows. Fronted by underground veterans Abe Yed and Che Ali, both active in the scene since the 2000s, No Good carries deep roots in Malaysia’s music circuit. Following their 2019 debut EP <em>Demo Kawe</em>, they toured extensively before the pandemic, later releasing their first album, <em>Punk Gong</em> and expanding their venues to Borneo and Singapore. Their latest single, ‘Wak Nyaknyo’, channels ’70s reggae influences while appraising Malaysia’s censorship laws. With nearly 90,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, No Good continues to keep it <em>Kelate</em>, political and unapologetically real—offering an authentic, lived-in voice within the country’s punk landscape.</p>
