The band named Caster Band had to isolate themselves in an apartment in the South Jakarta area, which is a red zone for the spread of the coronavirus in the DKI Jakarta area. Along with 5 other personnel, namely Daffa, Babag, Fariz, Bobby, and Danu, they decided to stay in Jakarta.

"Actually, we really wanted to go home because our single recording production titled 'Komitmen' is already finished and the music video is also done. There are no other activities and our families told us not to come home yet, so we were expelled hehe," said Daffa, the vocalist, when contacted by phone on Thursday (30/4).

2. Trapped in Jakarta

Not only that, one of the personnel who works as a lecturer at Muhammadiyah University in Jember also has to teach his students online. They also shared their activities while being trapped in Jakarta.

"Our activities in the apartment besides eating and sleeping, mostly revolve around playing music and making vlogs, just trying to have activities so it won't be boring," said one of the personnel.

In addition, Choki Cassandra, as the composer and music director of the song and music video titled 'KOMITMEN', mentioned that the song has been released today (30/4) on the Caster Official YouTube Channel. Caster hopes that their work in the midst of this pandemic can alleviate the boredom of music lovers in the country while staying at home.
