2FOLD

Formed up in early 2011 and has been spending time in studios to tighten up their song at the same time finding what and how they wanna play and sound like. Finally in the late 2011, they found what they wanted to play. Funky rythms and rock like solos, they are twofold!

 

 

NAVIRE CREUX

Formed in early 2009, Navire Creux started out as a home project to let out emotions through recording and writing his life into music. It stayed that way for about a year and a half untill Ahmad Khaliq, Bong Jklop and Syarul who shared the same interest in music started jamming and performing live. Navire Creux had released an EP entitled "INCENDIARY" and is in the current process of writing new tracks for a full length album that will be out sometime this year.

 

 

PLUTO

Pluto plays fast hardcore, Syafiq plays guitar, Dan plays bass, David plays drums, and Thomas sings. We are influenced by other fast bands such as vaccine, shank, and infest. Our lyrics deal with themes of existentialism influenced by authors such as Plato, Sartre, and Nietzsche. No nonsense.

 

 

CLOWNS

Clowns is a 4 piece band of brats from Melbourne. Repeat After Me is the latest noise they've added some pictures to and released. It's punk and hardcore at it's purist: fast, intense and with a punch that'll snap your head back. A squelch of feedback is the signal for the bass and guitar to send in the clowns, from here on the pedal is to the floor. The vocal is a perfectly demented balance of gritty scream and clarity, making it listenable and moshable.

SLEEP EASY

SLEEP EASY is a mild cocktail of daydreams, nocturnal dreams, the imagined and play-written conversations that condense from seconds of isolation in a small steel flask and drunk only in morning’s darkness or in night’s light. An attempt to project a sufficiently reasonable façade to ease the out-of-line colouring that often rises to the skin surface of its lone member. SLEEP EASY tries to be the short story secretly tucked into the front breast pocket of a writer, a paltry symbolism of reverie, of pondering and of mere thought.

THE PSALMS

The Psalms is a band formed in Singapore, circa 2006. Initially, the band dabbled in music influenced by DAUGHTERS (US) and THE LOCUST (US) with much exploration in discordance or dissonance with objectives aimed at defining and redefining music. In 2008, the band experienced a change in their lead vocals and construction in their sound.

The band was featured in an interview with France's VoxPop, a reputable music magazine, and was described as "rhythmic potency in metal sounds with guitars blending both hardcore and noise, and a voice, similar to that of Camellia Jordana calling us into singing, shouting, and story-telling." In a gig review, The Jakarta Post journalist, Ari Ernesto Purnama who calls THE PSALMS as "Singapore's pro-rock jewel" with "perhaps, if I follow my instincts, I can say that they're SUN RA with rock riffs and a jazz improv a la MILES DAVIS with surprises thrown here and there, plus distorted bass lines akin to Japan's RUINS."

PARIS IN THE MAKING

Formed in 2004, Paris In The Making started out as a five piece rock outfit formerly known as DYNA TURMOIL. Heavily influenced by the European/Japanese screamo scene infused with elements of post-rock citing the likes of heavyweights ENVY and MOGWAI, as prime examples. At present the band is planning out to finish a long-awaited full length album and an Indonesia tour is scheduled upon the release. 

NIGHT HAG

South Australia's hardcore workhorse NIGHT HAG makes Singapore their 1st stop in their SE Asia tour this month. This 2-week blitzkrieg tour will see them bring their brand of blackened hardcore to Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia in support of their debut full-length Gilded Age, which has been ranked 5th on CVLT Nation's Top 6 Hardcore Albums of 2011 list. Expect to experience anxiety-inducing black metal to threatening doom, their only constant being the hardcore energy. Relentless Australian touring (this tour being their first overseas) and multiple releases have seen NIGHT HAG develop into one of the most exciting heavy bands around, with a live show not to be missed.    

[event] KittyWu & Macbeth present Envy (JP) w/ Amateur Takes Control // 18th June 2011 @ The Substation

For the last 19 years, ENVY have been creating the most intense fusion of emotive ballads with ferocious teeth gritting screaming hardcore. They have created their own sound with their speedy guitars, loud pounding bombastic drums, pummeling fretless bass lines, and heavy emotive vocals of Tetsu Fukagawa. 6 full lengths, numerous EPs and Split Singles later, they've earned the praise and admiration from the likes of Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai) and Steve Aoki (Dim Mak). leading to highly acclaimed releases on Rock Action Records, Dim Mak and Temporary Residence. Their live show is a fucking tornado leaving people crying in the crowd out of pure emotional intensity.

ENVY

Since 1992, Envy has become a dominant band in the independent hardcore scene in Japan. Their music, through their own evolution, encompasses a sound where intensity and beauty coexists. They have recorded a number of singles and albums in Japan, including split albums with bands like This Machine Kills, Endeavor, Six Pence and Yaphet Kotto. Since their beginning, Envy has toured all throughout Japan with Mogwai, Isis and many more. They have labored and toured their songs relentlessly for over a decade, and will continue to do so well into the next decade.

Envy has just been added to this year's Fuji Rock Festival.

AMATEUR TAKES CONTROL

A solo project by guitarist Adel Rashid, Amateur Takes Control (ATC) has evolved to its present 5 person line-up, creating music which is undeniably diverse in style and influence, yet still manages to showcase a seamlessness that justifies their identity as a group.

Known for their intense onstage performances and dedication to their craft, they have a passion about the music they’re creating – schizophrenetic, achingly emotive and a full throttle forward.
