Parkinson
started at the end of 1996 with original lineup Jimbo(vocal),
Atan(guitar), Yusman(bass)
and Yusri(drums). Born in Johor Bahru, which
located somewhere in Southern Malaysia. We got a couple of songs
and its more to raw punks. At that time our line up wasn't constant
and since that, we dont have any material except poor raw jamming
recorded with Walkman. Sadly early 1997 Yusri left to further
his study and Syam replaced him as a new drummer. We keep on
going with new drummer and try to do different beat.
In
the mid 1997, Prop appears all the sudden to join Parkinson.
He was a member of Disorder Track(RIP) from Terengganu. We agreed
to accept Prop as a 2nd Guitar. And grateful to list, our new
line-up were Jimbo(vocal), Atan(1st
Guitar), Prop(2nd Guitar), Yusman(bass)
and Syam(Drums). Two guitars really kick in
the ass. Jimbo and Atan were still studying; we always try to
jam more than we could. Prop just finished his advanced study
while Yusman worked in Singapore. But all these were not the
matters, we don’t give a damn. We did it not because of
clothes we wear. We did for what we think is right. We love
the punk/hc scenes.
With
new lineup and "semangat yang berkobar-kobar", Parkinson
starts seriously with new songs. This time we more into punk/crust
with political ideas!. But before our 1st EP, Syam left Parkinson
also to further his study. He only played with Parkinson at
our very first gig in hometown. And Atan has been insisted to
replaced Syam position as a new drummer. And the new lineup
were Jimbo(vocal), Prop(guitar),
Yusman(bass) and Atan (drummer).
On
April 1998 we did our first recording at JBS Studio JB. At that
time its hard to get even one recording studio and even if we
get so, its damn expensive rate. No choice! This 7 new songs
plus one sweet poem (by Yani) were our first EP titled "Parkinson
- About a War" . It were released under Broken
Noise Records, own by Jimbo. But it seems like own release and
its totally DIY as fuck. But we really love to done that. Some
of these songs were pulled out for compilations.

We
came back for 2nd EP "Parkinson - Mencari Keamanan
Sebenar" on the February 1999. We do a split Cassette/3"
MCD with Aghast (local band). This time Parkinson more fast, we
crust/grind with 9 new songs. This EP was co-released under Broken
Noise Records and All System Fail Records (Japan [Profane Existence
Far East -Izumi Kubo]).
In
Year 1999 really busy in the ass. In the mid of 1999 we made our
3rd release titled "Parkinson - Peace Now!".
The title of this 3 way split is "Forgotten Victims".
This release available on CD/Cassette, which split out with Existench
(Can) and irritate (Fin). We put out 7 new songs and its also
under Broken Noise Records. Its come with 7"x7" booklet
and its one of the coolest split release with great fakin bands.
You guys are great.
Parkinson
should satisfy with two releases in year 1999, plus killing gigs
of the year with Sporean band in 'Resist All Operation Gig' at
Wadihana JB. Many band perform, such as Demisor. Grinkor tua.

After
a short while, Prop left Parkinson. He left in peace to perform
with his new band, but it was totally unexpected. At the end of
1999 Parkinson made a few change for lineup. Its 3 piece!. Yusman
have no choice except to replace Prop position as a new Guitarist.
So Parkinson current lineup were Jimbo (vocal),
Atan(Drums) and Yusman(Guitar).
These 3-piece lineups were long live until now.
We
back again with 4th release. Recording on July 2000 at Batu giling
Studio. This Ep title “Parkinson - Peace Now or
Die” contains 7 new songs. Its available only on
cassette format under Broken Noise Records (fuck! BN rec again!),
included with A2 poster. But 80% of this release were in Malay
lyrics. Jimbo wrote them. Actually most of Parkinson lyrics wrote
by Jimbo.
At
the end of 2001, we do a split Ep tape with Indonesian grindcore
Extreme Decay. Parkinson blast with 7 new songs while Extreme
Decay put out 9 songs. This release were delayed due to our recording
problem, but grateful it happens at last. We did it live recording
with 4 tracks recorder, raw as fuck. In this recording still the
same lineup. One of these songs was re-recorded for Johor Hardcore
compilations. Pre-packet including nice 7" cover and damn
its under Broken Noise Records.
On
April 2002, Parkinson released a new demo titled "Parkinson
- Tolak Segala Kekerasan Demo 2002". Its own release,
7 new songs were packed in this release. This limited tape was
pro-release and some profit from this tape will benefit to Community
Coalition collective, Terengganu Malaysia. On 2002 we did couple
gigs included one of the killing gigs of the year, ABC Partisan
gig in Malaysia! Co-operated with Masaki Tribal War Asia, Jimbo
organized this allcrustpunk gigs. A band from Japan Social Crime
was brought here to make some noise.
In
year 2002, a Hardcore Fest 2002 were held in Johor Bahru. Many
bands performed plus one foreign band called At Coast 46 from
Japan. Guess what? during their tour, we did a side project band
called Unko. The line-ups were Jimbo-voc,
Satoshi-Guitar, Atan-drums and
Masumi-Bass. Grind grind! |

After
6 years been together, Parkinson still the same shit. No changes
on line-up. But due to more gigs coming behind us, we decide to
adopt Apis as a bassist secessionist. Apis is a member of Depress,
a local crust/punk disordered. So Apis gave us a hand in couples
of gigs, also in new recordings for upcoming release. Sure it
is hard for him but after a lot of practicing, he did well and
wallanne! kocok abis!
And
year 2003 Parkinson released the 1st single called
"Perubahan". Its CDR single. One song
with full of emotion vocal and killing backup shouters! The idea
from Jimbo who want a change! Even in this single we more to hartkor
lompat /old school punk/hc. In this recording, Atan on Guitar/Bass,
Jimbo on Vocal and Apis on Drums. Perubahan means Changing! in
Malay language.
We
came back with new release which split 7" release with Tekken
from France. Parkinson put in 6 new tacks while Tekken 9 tracks.
We did the recording on January 2003 but release on Disember 2003
by 213 Records, Emostyle Army, Jason Radio, No Fucking Labels
and Wee Wee Records. In this release the lineup were Jimbo-Voc,
Atan-Drums, Farouk-Guitar/Bass and Apis-Bass/Guitar. We "pinjam"
these two guys for recording on this release due to our Gitarist
Yusman got some personal problem. Broken Noise Records press on
Cassette format for this split and the title on Parkinson's side
called "Permainan Kamu Adalah Kecelakaan".
