About the bands


Aphrodisiac


Andrew - 15 (Lead Singer/Guitarist)
Aman - 18 (Lead Guitarist)
Marcellus Ryan - 22 (Drummer)
Weiye - 18 (Bassist)

A young and upcoming band, formed in late Jun '05. Played 2 weeks after formation, and achieved underground cult status. With Andrew's stunning vocals and guitar chops, Aman's mind-blowing guitar licks, Weiye's thumping bass riffs, and Marcellus' booming drum solos, Aphrodisiac has been known to rock the stage whenever and wherever. Aphrodisiac has played so far at East Coast for the Southeast CDC, performed for various pubs and recently participated in the Yamaha Asian Beat competition.




Cynical Annihilation


Cynical Annihilation (CA) first hit the local scene in late 2003 consisting of Acid on rhythm guitar and vocals, Snake on backing vocals and lead guitar, Caine on backing vocals and bass and Dr. Kill-Drums on drums.

They were immediately set apart from the other bands with their fully-formed and multi-faceted sound; a cunning amalgam of Heavy metal, Glam rock and Progressive rock. Within several months of playing the local circuit they firmly established themselves as one of the top metal bands in Singapore, earning praise from the veteran bands for their complex technical arrangements and their adrenaline pumping live shows.

The band's confidence shone in all their live performances, even when playing at gigs out of their genre they won the audience over with their melodic lines and interactive shows. Front man Acid has caused quite a stir in the local scene with his honest and often blunt opinions as well as controversial onstage antics. However, this was exactly what the controversy-starved music press in Singapore needed to revive the rebellion of the heyday of Glam rock. Snake and Caine on the other hand have been shocking the masses with their wicked technical playing and uncanny ability to make it look effortless during live performances. This has earned them the reputation of being arrogant and flashy by the local music press. Fortunately, this devil may care attitude coupled with excellently written songs have made them appeal more to the fans.

The band is currently finishing the final stages of production for their debut opus "Pandora's Box". The record is really diverse and sonically precise due to the vast array of musical styles and creative input. Focal studios were chosen to christen this epic masterpiece. With their team of dedicated staff the band has been able to put their ambitious musical vision down on record. With CA's steadily growing fan base the album is sure to do well. With a growing hunger for their music to be heard and to gain a larger following, CA has plans to distribute and possibly gig in Asia, America, Australia, and Europe next. Distribution deals area currently being discussed with the band by several local and overseas labels.

After the Recording of "Pandora's Box" Dr. Kill-Drums left the band due to commitment problems. Taking his place at the helms is Raum, a drummer with a fierce dedication and immense talent. Now a full fledged member of Cynical Annihilation.

With the talent and dedication these guys have for their craft they are bound to go far, so keep a look out for them and the release of their debut album.

Eternal Loop

Willian - 18 (Drummer)
Daryl - 17 (Lead Guitarist)
Amos - 17 (Bassist)
Wong Ci - 17 (Rhythm Guitarist)
Harry - 17 (Key-Boardist)

Eternal Loop is a six piece band that plays mostly very radio-friendly pop-rock songs. Formed at the beginning of this year under the name LJB, only three original members have remained together as another three members have been recruited over the last 4 months. Having progressed from a band which played covers to one playing originals, the band has since played in school organized gigs and even did busking at orchard road to help raise funds for MINDS, in an event organized by Raffles Institution. They have also taken part in Straits Times School of Rock competition where they came in 7th position out of 208 applicants and won the award for the Most Popular Band. Though the band is only less than 6 months old, they have received great encouragement from fellow musicians as well as friends and supporters.




Heroic No Avail


Eric - 17 (Lead Vocalist, Bassist)
Khien - 18 (Guitarist)
Aiman - 17 (Vocalist, Guitarist)
Hans - 18 (Drummer)

Heroic No Avail started off a maybe 4 years back with line-up changes here and there. They love all sorts of music but play more pop-ish songs. They have played at a couple of places (expo, 3rdplace, youth park, etc) already but nothing to be immensely proud of. They, as a band are always greatly humbled by whoever we play alongside with.




Sons Of Liberty


They formed back in late 2003 consisting of only four members. At a young age of 14, they started playing covers of Pearl Jam to Red Hot Chilli Peppers to even Mxpx. In 2004, Mel joined the band and took over the bass. Then In early 2005, Egan took over the lead guitar and S.O.L was finally complete. Though there have been a few changes in the line up, one thing is still the same for them and that is that they would do their best at every opportunity given. As they go by the saying "To achieve, You must believe", they do believe they can reach for greater heights. Their genre is a mix of pop/punk to commercial to punk as well as a bit of emo.




SpanishFly


Ming - (Vocals)
Dong - (Lead Guitar)
Simon - (Lead Guitar)
Titus - (Bass)
Alvin - (Drums)

SpanishFly was formed in the middle of august, 05. SpanishFly brings audiences back to the time where Rock n Roll and Hair Metal ruled the world! Influenced by the likes of Skid Row, Motley Crue, Guns n Roses, Led Zepp and Jimi Hendrix. SpanishFly plays covers and originals based on good old Rock n Roll. Although SpanishFly is still rather green to the scene, all of the members have been around the circuit playing in bands like Zero Sequence, Gazss, Sleazy Romeos and Plaroma.
