Butterfingers, one of Malaysia’s renown rock bands, have announced that their new album, Kembali, will be released in July 2008.
Kembali will be the sequel to the band’s previous album Selamat Tinggal Dunia, and will be their 2nd Bahasa Malaysia album.

The big news however is that the album will be sold and distributed via the internet, without any major labels or outside help, just the band and their crew at RoyalButterfingers.

This is something probably unheard of in the Malaysian music scene, though I could be wrong. Let’s hope this will make the way for more changes and innovations in the local Music industry.

“Guys.

We’re planning on releasing Kembali in Jul 08 ourselves. No major label. No distributor. No middleman. No assholes. Just “US”. The band. We’re back. Finally. And more alive than ever. Yes. We’re able to get music to you, the ppl who deserve it, for less money. Who needs miserable retailers when you have the power of the internet.

That said. We’ll be distributing it ourselves via the internet. And we’re planning on selling the album at RM 15 a piece (excluding transport cost). How bout that!

When we’ve set up the online store, you can buy it there. We’ll let you know. The details. Soon to come.

What say you, RBF’ers?
