Guess what?:  Rocket Rockers sing about college woes

J

AKARTA: Pop punk band Rocket Rockers has chosen '€œMimpi Jadi Sarjana'€ (Dream of Becoming a Scholar) as the first single off its new album, Merekam Jejak (Recording a Trail).

 The band said that the first single off its fifth album discussed troubles experienced in college.

'€œWe decided to talk about the problems that most people experience. Some people spend an excessive number of years in college [when they could finish in just a few years],'€ vocalist and guitarist Aska said on Saturday during the album launch as quoted by kompas.com.

Love doesn'€™t have to be the only subject matter of sad songs, said Aska. '€œWe'€™re talking about troubles [that most young people face]. Most of us will face more problems [in life] if we have trouble in school,'€ he added.
