Alternative rock veterans reopen unfinished chapter with emotional comeback single
AFTER more than a decade away from the spotlight, Malaysian alternative rock band Disagree returns with a line-up comprising Zahid, Hamka and Taa to deliver Let’s Do It All Again, to give the same raw energy and emotional intensity that defined the band’s earlier work but now, infused with deeper storytelling and evolved musicality.
Their return is driven by a simple yet heartfelt intention – to complete what was left unfinished. More than a decade ago, life led the members down different paths, pulling them away from the music scene and leaving behind a lingering sense of longing.
Unfinished business
Disagree’s comeback is not built on nostalgia alone, but on closure that never came for them and for the fans.
We did not really get to say goodbye.
“Life moved forward and so did we. But somewhere along the way, we left something unfinished,” the band reflected.
After years of stepping away from music due to life transitions, family commitments and career priorities, the band quietly went on hiatus, leaving behind a legacy in Malaysia’s alternative rock scene and a fanbase that never fully let go, until now.
All over again
Disagree’s new single is a heartfelt anthem of return, regret and gratitude to tell the story of a band that once had everything, only to eventually walk away without saying their goodbyes.
At its core the song is a sincere apology letter to make things right and an invitation to reconnect. It is nostalgic and forward-looking, a reminder that what appear to be endings can sometimes just be life’s pauses.
Recorded across Malaysia and Australia, the track was mixed and produced by multiple AIM award winner Greg Henderson and mastered by Leon Zervos, a renowned Grammy winner, at Studios 301 in Australia, giving it a sonically refined yet emotionally raw piece that underscores the song’s introspective and reflective tone.
Then versus Now
Originally active throughout the early 2000s and early 2010s, Disagree cultivated a strong following with their distinct Malaysian indie progressive rock sound, performed in English with their radio hit singles being standout tracks such as Crumbs, Suicide Note, Scarecrow Adams, Osaka and Haley.
They were a staple offering at the iconic annual Rock The World festivals during that era and an opening act to international bands such as Hoobastank and The All-American Rejects to name a few.
If Disagree once represented the voice of youthful uncertainty and emotional grunge intensity, today they stand for something more reflective, with Let’s Do It All Again being a prelude to their upcoming full-length album Black & White in Colour, which will explore themes of heartache, trauma, turmoil, reconnection, faith and the ups and downs of life’s journey.
