In the far reaches of South East Asia in a tiny country known as Brunei breeds a two-piece alternative band; Pagan Stitches. A call back to the Seattle Sound of the 90s - otherwise popularized as the genre "Grunge" - Pagan Stitches produces their own brand of 90s Alternative music with a tint of Garage Rock having only two members: Jaz (Guitars and vocals) and Fadhlan (Drums and backing vocals). With 3 LPs, 2 EPs and 10 singles under their belt, the dynamic duo are constantly putting out releases on the fly where inspiration strikes. They have constantly joked publicly about being a "Brunge" band (Bruneian Grunge) as a play on words similar to K-Pop or J-Rock. However, being probably the only act at the moment actively playing grunge music, this recurring joke is slowly becoming a geo-specific brand of the genre that is at the moment being flagshipped by the band, and they're just rolling with the association.
As a nation still recovering from mass paranoia surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, the band has released a single inspired by the moment called "We'll Be Ok", which is part of their 3rd Album - Super Depressed and Best Dressed.
