Handle With Care (Malaysia)


Handle With Care is an independent pop punk band based in Petaling Jaya. The band consists of Faisal Yusof on vocals and bass, Andy Seah and John Paul Pacaldo on guitars, and Abdul Musowir a.k.a. Moose on drums.


Bonding over a common interest in music, Faisal, Andy, John and Chee Ben Jin (former drummer) built a strong friendship and soon enough, Handle With Care was born in early 2009. The band was later joined by bassist David Woong in mid 2009. In August 2009, Ben left the band to further his studies overseas. He was then replaced by Moose in October 2009. In January 2010, David left the band due to personal reasons. With his departure, Handle With Care is now a four-piece band with Faisal taking over the role of bassist.

A far cry from their beginning of playing covers, the band took a step forward by writing their own songs after being together for a few months. Handle With Care have released three singles and played numerous gigs. Their latest single, “Apa Warnamu”, has been creating a buzz and getting airplay on Hot FM as well as Fly FM. The song has also landed on online music charts, reaching a high of #6 on Channel [V] AMP Chart (#4 in Malaysia), #1 on cravecharts.com and #1 on jomgig.com Top 50. Handle With Care is now on a roll to make a name in the local music scene.
