    “Superman Is Dead itu ya Band, Pejuang and They are cool.”
    ~ Komar Clash
    Mungkin akan menjadi sebuah diary anak kemarin sore yang tahu musik telah mempengaruhi hidupnya. Ya, anak SMP baru beberapa tahun lalu yang tahu seorang kawan memutar kaset album “Kuta Rock City” dengan fasihnya mereka berucap: “Ku benci semua yang tak pasti, woooo… Rambut spikey dibilang funky, Mall dipenuni lambang anarki…” tanpa sadar kaki pun ikut mengikuti hentakan drum dari namanya Jerinx yang setelah melihat dan membaca sampul Albumnya mereka.
    “Superman Is Dead? 3 Pria bergambar… Kece… Super Kece. *leleh*” ~ Krisna Pratiwi W.
    JRX
    “Aku suka Superman Is Dead karena ada Jerinx. Ya, aku groupies nya Jerinx. Tapi aku suka Superman Is Dead juga karena liriknya yang berbobot. Beda dengan Top 40 yang menye-menye.”
    ~ Annisya Primawindy.
    Ya, Superman Is Dead. Trio yang bergenre Punk Rock ini telah mengacuhkan pandangan saya dulu terhadap Guns N’ Roses. (kalian boleh tertawa, saya memang dulu penggemar Axl Rose Cs.) Tak perlu bicara atau mengulas banyak, puluhan atau ratusan ulasan mengenai cerita 3 punk rocker asal Bali ini di berbagai media, tapi untuk soal menginspirasi itu lain cerita, kawan. Bagi seorang bocah yang kesehariannya bernuansa religius, lingkungan militer dan pilihan reurbanisasi tentu saja masa yang terbilang sulit untuk mengenal sekelas SID. Mengenal sisi mereka sebagai… idola, apa susahnya? sebenarnya bukan itu, saya bukan sebagai penggemar karbitan maupun kambuhan begitu mereka tenar lalu heboh mendukungnya, tenggelam dan dilupakan. Dulu untuk untuk anak SMP apa sih artinya lirik lagu, mereka mendengar, asik dan suka, stereotype yea. Saya ingat Jerinx dalam tulisannya berucap: “Banyak orang yang bisa bermain skillful, tempo drum hebat, tehnik vokal diatas angin dan bergaya seperti rockstar kebanyakan groupies yang mempunyai masalah kejiwaan [yea right...] tapi jarang banget ada band Indonesia, apalagi yang terkenal, punya lirik berontak yang sekaligus pintar. Ujung2nya paling keras bisanya menghujat pemerintah tanpa ngasi solusi yang jelas, yang buruh bangunan pun bisa melakukan itu sambil menghisap kretek terakhirnya.” - yang dimuat di fans page JRX di Facebook.
    Dari album Kuta Rock City, Hangover Decade, Black Market Love dan paling baru Angels and Outsiders dalam kurun waktu hampir 9 tahun hampir melekat dalam telinga, saya banyak belajar dari pribadi mereka yang merujuk pada sesuatu pengalaman dalam perjalanan hidup yang tak pernah terlupakan. Mau balajar? banyak pesan yang disuarakan, kritik sosial, ekonomi, politik, budaya, bahkan agama mereka rangkum dalam lagu dan beberapa tulisan. Dan menurut saya sosok SID terlihat jelas pada album Black Market Love.
    “Superman Is Dead itu band yang gak hanya bermusik, tapi menyuarakan apa yang mereka lawan lewat lagu. Garis besarnya sih mereka bukan band yang hanya menghibur.” 
    ~ Hartiny P. Arra Maria
    Bobby Kool
    “SID itu nama band kan?! Kalo di industri musik -Superman Is Dead- itu nama band yang berasal dari bali. Kalo diterjemahkan yang artinya Superman Udah Mati.”
    ~ Echa
    Sekarang, mereka sudah terkenal, penggemar yang dinamakan Outsider dan Lady Rose menampakan diri dari berbagai penjuru kota berjumlah  ratusan atau ribuan yang bersaing dengan jumlah para anggota slankers dalam menjejali setiap konsernya. Saya pribadi merasa bangga, band dalam negeri yang memulai sejarah dari pait sampe manis bisa mensejajarkan diri dari band mainstream indonesia yang *uhuk*. Kalo secara pribadi, ditanya serunya bersama musik SID, ya banyak. di suruh cerita ya, sehari-semalam. Yang paling seru waktu saya pengen punya cita-cita untuk merontokkan gigi Jerinx *kumaha aing lah*, tanya mengapa… zzZzz
    “Superman Is Dead itu band, inspirasi, pembuka wawasan baru buatku.” ~ Citra
    Eka Rock
    “3 Berandalan tampan dari bali penaebar teror bagi mereka yang fanatik terhadap keseragaman. Sebagai fans, aku tidak mau jadi fans yang hanya nongkrong di backstage hanya untuk ketemu mereka, aku tidak mau Idolaku menjadi biasa saja. Rela berbohong demi ke backstage tanpa ngerti arti lagu-lagu mereka, itu bukan aku.” ~ Marsha
    “Love them when they were 90s. Cuma sekarang kurang suka dengan musiknya, tapi tetap suka dengan pribadi personel, visi dan misi mereka. That’s it.  Perbedaan makna outsider & “outsider”. “Outsider”, sesuai apa yang SID bilang sendiri, sebuah ide yang kebal, tanpa jumlah, tanpa kuantitas, tanpa keanggotaan, tanpa embel-embel semiotik, tanpa ciri khas, namun memiliki eksistensi & substansi yang kokoh jika ditalar lebih mendalam. Tapi kalo outsider (yg tanpa tanda kutip) cukup menyebalkan & saya rasa bukan saya saja yang merasakan itu. Tapi gue tetep salut sama SID. Dia dikontrak mayor label tapi masih bisa lawan mereka dengan kandungan lirik waktu album Black Market Love. Itu hal yang bagus, for sure. Juga lirik2 nya yang out of the box bagi band-band Indonesia. Keterampilan Jrx yg mendominasi lembaran lirik juga bisa diacungi jempol, ketika hal-hal yg biasa kita jumpai sehari2 diubah menjadi sebuah kalimat-kalimat yang mudah diingat tp sulit disusun. Cukup sekian dan saya ganteng.”
    ~
    Bani Adam
    Tulisan ini memang sengaja saya dedikasikan untuk SID, band lokal dan membanggakan kurang lebih 9 tahun menemani kehidupan saya, ya semacam orang tua ke 2 lah dan kelak nantinya bisa dibaca anak gue hahahaha… sebuah perpanjangan tangan seni sebuah pemberontakan dan sadar busana, itulah SID yang memainkan musik Punk Rock pengaruh Green Day, NOFX pada masa awalnya. Plus terkontaminasi racun rockabilly karena Social Distortion. Tetap band Punk Rock dengan image Rockabilly. Dan Saya Tampan, sekian.

    SID, punk rock pioneers of Bali, were born and bred in Kuta Rock City. The band is three chord attitude-heavy young men, by name : Bobby Kool (lead vocal, guitar, a dog lover and a graphic designer) , Eka Rock (low ridin' family man, beer drinker, laid back bass and backing vocal and a warm smilin' Rock 'N Roll bandman, IT warior) , Jrx (low ridin' beer drinking Rock 'N Roll prince charming, drummer and a hairwax junkie, Bar owner)



    The name 'Superman is Dead' started its' evolution from Stone Temple Pilot's "Superman Silvergun". The name moved on to "Superman is Dead" cause they like the idea that there's no such thing as a perfect person out there.
    SID actually stumbled together in '95, drawn by their common love of Green Day and NOFX. Their influences soon extended to the punk 'n roll genre a la Supersuckers, Living End and Social Distortion, and here they stay. They say what they wanna say, how they wanna say it. In your face, to say it precisely.

    SID public image, self described, is "Punk Rock a Bali" (think raw energy of NOFX vs Social Distortion supersonically fueled with beer-soaked Balinese Rockabilly attitude).
    History ? SID produced their first three albums independently (the boys worked years of crappy night jobs), with fabulous, small scale indie labels 1997 "Case 15", 1999 "Superman is Dead", 2002 "Bad Bad Bad"(mini album, 6 tracks).

    In March 2003, SID finally signed with Sony-BMG Indonesia after extended negotiations regarding their right to sing the majority of their tracks in English and have full artistic rights over their 'image'!! With that decision they single handedly became the first band from Bali to be invited to sign with a major recording label in Indonesia, the first band in their nation (to my knowledge) to be recording majority of songs in English and the first punk band in Indonesia to get the national exposure and promotion that working with a major label in a third world country provides. And so the history of Indonesian Punk Rock begins!

    And as for the question that everyone wants to know, the infamous bomb in Bali happened about 75 M from their home, hangout center, punk rock boutique, bar and rehearsal studio that is also Jrx' house, in the heart of Kuta.
    After panel beating back the rolling doors of the studio and shifting a little debris, rehearsals continued as usual. Yeah, they saw a lot, it sucked big time, but its' not gonna stop 'em!

    And where are they now? At the end of 2002, one of the more respectable music mags here cited SID as "The Next Big Thing" for 2003. With the release of their fourth album "Kuta Rock City" followed by major air play nationally and in some countries overseas, coupled with the instant popularity of their newest film clip.

    SID suddenly find themselves touring continuously throughout Indonesia. Last week they were in four major Indonesian cities, on three islands, in 7 days! Sometimes playing for free at underground scene clubs, sometimes at street skate parties or alternative band festivals, at lots of universities and even occasionally at "classy" venues who would have probably denied them entrance years ago!
    Which means more beers for all.

    In 2003 SID even got a mention in Time Asia.
    They also won a few music awards “MTV Awards for The Best New Artist 2003”, “AMI Awards for The Best New Artist 2003” and nominated again in “AMI Awards 2006 for The Best Rock Album”.

    October 2007, they did an amazing Australian tour, 8 cities, 16 gigs, 33 days with their strong D.I.Y work ethic.

    June – July 2009, Superman Is Dead held An American Tour, 16 Gigs in 16 cities. 11 gigs of them were the ‘ Vans Warped Tour’ and the last 5 gigs were ‘From Bali With Rock’. They did a very hard work to succeed this excited tour, had crossed the big land from westcoast to eastcoast and got back to westcoast.

    SID had share stages with international bands such as International Noise Conspiracy, NOFX, MXPX and Hoobastank.
    They remain proud, boys from the streets of Kuta with a love of punk rock, beers and a good time. Ready for whatever comes next, excited about the next gig.
