高凌風-如果都是天意

詞曲:黃明志

The last song sung by Frankie Gao. Written by Namewee.

As we been exploring Karaoke as staple at YMG... maybe it will be good to put some good songs on the defragmenting blog.

At the same time I am thinking of how 'music' scripts our everyday and formulate some form of subjectivities and 'emplacement' - to the urban and simply life.

火柴天堂

火柴天堂 - matchstick heaven ... she does a good rendition of this song. 

Some Singapore bands list, like you should know or better know.

Happy National Day. Here are some Singapore band that you should know.

I don't know them at all but never too late to find out about them. I am still looking for fine examples of the Singapore soul.

Anyone has anything to say about their music, please comment below.

Singaporean Bands You Should Know About

By Dinah 4 months ago Save Article

With Singapore’s 50th birthday coming up, we celebrate local talents that are making a mark in their respective industries. Here are 7 Singaporean bands that should be on your playlists.

The Summer State

The Summer State has opened for international acts like Mayday Parade, Yellowcard and A Rocket to the Moon, in addition to getting their debut EP to #1 on the Singapore iTunes Rock Chart. Impressive? We think so too.

Get their latest eponymous EP here.

Paint The Sky Red

This four-man act brings a sense of nostalgia with their ambient yet soulful music. Although their songs are mostly instrumental, the well-composed melodies have a charm of their own.

The band recently released their second album Not All Who Wonder Are Lost, which was recorded in Bandung, Indonesia. You can purchase their music here.

The Caulfield Cult

Listen to their music here.

Pleasantry

If you were at indie music festival The Gathering last month, you probably would have heard Pleasantry perform there. In fact, the 5-piece act was one of only two Singaporean bands picked to perform alongside the other international acts during the festival.

Formed in 2010, Pleasantry’s music combines simple lyrics with rich instrumentals and song structure. Their latest album Synapses is available for purchase here.

Spacedays

If you’re into psychedelic rock then Spacedays is right up your alley. Although the band was formed quite recently in 2009, their music is heavily influenced by the psychedelic subcultures of the late 60s. Buy their latest EP Moondust here.

Caracal

Caracal has been around in the local music scene since 2006, but that doesn’t mean that they’re has-beens. In fact, the 5-piece post-hardcore band has already released two full albums and performed both locally and internationally.

Their CDs and vinyls, including their latest album Welcome the Ironists, is available for purchase here.
