Masihkah kau ingat? “Di sisi perempuan yang hebat terdapat laki-laki yang kuat”, begitulah bunyi jargon kultural yang masih relevan dalam realitas kehidupan hari ini. Sekiranya kalimat tersebut cocok disematkan untuk single terbaru dari band Oi!/skinhead yang mengakui kalau meraka pernah dilahirkan di trotaor jalan: The GLAD. Diawal tahun 2000-an, tepatnya dikampung Sayidan. Penjual lapen khas kaki lima menjadi primadona untuk para skinhead dan skinhead girl yang gemar meninggalkan malam menjemput pagi. Mereka berkumpul berbagi cerita gembira tanpa melihat apa suku dan agamanya.
Teriakan semangat menghidupi hidup dalam lirik-lirik lagu dari The GLAD selalu menyuarakan tentang pergulatan relitas sosial khas jalanan secara empiris. Tidak hanya nama-nama grup musik dunia, seperti; The Oppressed, Warzone, Evil Conduct dll yang berhasil menuliskan lagu tentang kecintaan mereka terhadap eksistensi skinhead girl dibelahan blok barat sana. Secara eksplisit, single terbaru “Yes, You!” ini ditulis secara tidak langsung mungkin mewakili kaum subkultur di Indonesia, khususnya kaum Skinhead. “Aku suka kamu, iya kamu!” C'mon lads!
Dengan besutan sound yang jauh lebih catchy dari single sebelumnya seperti, “Anti Nganggur” dan “Pesta pora. Kali ini The GLAD tetap memberikan warna musiknya yang sangat khas. Tentunya sarat akan singalong: "Yes you was…She was my skinhead girl”. Sebuah perwujudan tentang entitas kaum puan (baca: skinhead girl) dalam skena subkultur skinhead di Indonesia. Single ini juga ditampilkan dalam format video musik nan ciamik yang digarap oleh sutradara muda berbakat dari kolektif: Madepmanteb Lab.
Iya atau tidak, bagi saya single bertajuk “Yes, You!” layak didedikasikan untuk kaum skinhead girl yang pernah atau/dan masih tegar berdiri menggandeng pasangannya menuju masa depan dikehidupan nyata yang lebih baik, sehat dan sejahtera. Mungkin bahkan ada yang berlari bersama waktu menuju entah…
Habis gelap terbitlah doa dan pengharapan, apapun yang terjadi hanya mereka yang tahu, niscaya semesta memberkati selalu. Katakan Oi! 3x sehari.

Do you remember? "Next to each great woman stands strong man", that’s the echo of a slogan that is still relevant in the reality of today's life. This slogan is also adequate to describe the new single from the band Oi!/skinhead, who, as they say about themselves, were born on the street: The GLAD. In the early 2000s, in Sayidan's village to be precise. The seller of typical street food became a primadonna for skinheads and skinhead girls, who spent time together until dawn. They gathered to share happy stories regardless of their ethnicity or religion.
The scream expressing the spirit of the will to live contained in the lyrics of The GLAD's songs always reflects the realities of the struggles of people living on the street. Not only western groups such as The Oppressed, Warzone, Evil Conduct and others managed to express their love for skinhead girls smashing reality in the Western bloc. It is clearly visible that the new single "Yes, You!" non literally represents subcultures in Indonesia, especially skinheads. “I like you, yes you!” C'mon lads!
With a sound that is much more catchy than the previous singles, such as, “Anti Nganggur” and “Pesta pora”. This time, The GLAD gave their single a very distinctive musical color. Of course it's full of singalong: "Yes you was…She was my skinhead girl". An embodiment of the female entity (read: skinhead girl) in the skinhead subculture scene in Indonesia. This single is also released as a beautiful music video produced by a talented young director from the collective: Madepmanteb Lab.
Yes or no, for me the single, entitled “Yes, You!”, should be dedicated to the skinhead girl who has been or/and still stands firm with her partner towards a better, healthier and prosperous future in real life.
After the skinheads from the traditional market are gone, other skinheads emerge. Only they know what can happen, the universe will always bless you. Says Oi! 3 times day!
