These boys have talent to play the music instrument, and they really love the oi! Sound, so they have decided to form a band. From his, they started practice and thinking to give a name for their band. One day Mat Kie and Botak Azim, think why not "OFF SIDE" became their band name. They have told the band members about their ideass and they was accept it. There became OFFSIDE as the oi! and Street Punk band in Alor Star. Because they are Skinheads their influence also the oi! band such like Sham69, Oxymoron, The Business, Last Resort, The Blitz, Oppressed, Cock Sparrer and local band like A.C.A.B, Root & Boot, The Official and many more. They have practice a lot to achieve their ambition. These 5 young Skinheads with the spirit of the oi! and street music want to make something that can be proud of Alor Star Skinheads crew. There are Hiero as vox, Jan K.K as 1st guitar, Milah as a 2nd guitar, Mat Kie as a bassist and Botak (Azim) as a drummer stand as one in the name of Offside have start the revolution and ready to oi! the world with sound they played. They have play in many gig and gigs around Alor Star, and not at all gigs they play is a Skinheads gigs, sometime they got a problems with the organizer because they are not skinhead. But that was not mean to broke the spirit. They want people to know that they wasn't innocent.

There go with all Alor Star skinheads crew by bus, with 44 crew of Alor Star skinheads. The gigs was held with full of fun and pride. After that gig, The Offside has gone and silent for a moment. It was because the bandboy was busy with studying and do their own job. But the boy's strike again with compilation album (Wait Semenet a.k.a Lust Minute Compilation) produced by Stuck Music Records. Offside was record their killer song "Hijau Kuning" and "Warrior".
