AZUREFORJANNE (A4J)

AZUREFORJANNE is a melodic posthardcore band from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. EXTREME, POWERFUL, OUTRAGEOUS, MEANINGFUL, PASSION & ENERGETIC. That can describe how the band looks like.


The band is actually 4 piece metalhead. SanJay, Bryan Chin, Lee Meng Shiong (Meng), Jason Yan (Jason). But recently, (20 Feb 2012) they said on their facebook page, that Meng and Jason has left the band due band commitments. And they started to search for lead guitarist for the band. When we asked SanJay, he replied, there are 2 ghost members that will join them shortly. Now, they got new solid line-up. Sanjay; vocals, Bryan; drums, Kevin; bass, Irfan; rhythm guitar, and Russel; lead guitar.

According to AZUREFORJANNE music timeline, the first song is 'The Mushroom Song' featuring Danny New. Then, 'These Wolves Are Made Of Wools' and 'Enemy As A Friend' feturing Ax (Massacre Conspiracy). Today, they release new song 'Thrones' (Thrones got many attentions & feedbacks after released).

There also got the other song. 'Hey Stacy, Myspace Is That Way', 'Hello, Goodbye and Hi Again', 'Perfection Is Too Far Away', 'Super Slow Song', 'Hold Your Horses, This Ain't a Race', 'Your Screaming Voice, I'm Speaking None', 'Everyone Can Survive a Heartache, So Here's A Heartquake'


From their band page's biograpy:

''AZUREFORJANNE (A4J) is a melodic post-hardcore band from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Having a common goal in our music establishing it not to be labeled as the common sound, or a contra positive alter ego of the genre being carried on by us; We dream to channel our music for people to be proactive instead of being preemptive of the nature being followed in the voyage of music in general.


We aim to walk-in away from this ever evolving cliché sedentary lifestyle, and march on as a part with the movement, or so we call it music, in a different pace, different direction. So persist, and if you are going to try, don't follow the route to where everyone has to be tomorrow, but instead set a trail along your tracks off the roads for others to follow. 


We want to touch hearts, and aspire to be somewhat a countermeasure for the heavy hearted and everyone who listens to our music. Everything we’ve produced and produce as a band is pure dedication, blood, sweat and heart; And we wish for you to carry on our legacy as a part of us. Soar above the skies, let live, and walk with us, and we’ll show you how greatness grows in this journey towards restitution. 


A story that leads to a thousand tales, begins here; And we swear this is only the beginning.''
