noteworthy singapore bands

Hey y'all. Singapore bands aren't that bad! And I'm not just saying that because I'm from Singapore. Some of them truly are good.

Say, Electrico. Formerly known as Electric Company way back when. their vocalist's voice is smooooooth and mellow. Like spikes with rounded tips.
Listen to their hit single I Want You from their first album So Much More Inside! (It's not as emo as it sounds, I promise) And their other hit single Runaway, also from So Much More Inside! And their other other hit single We're Not Made In The USA from the album Hip City. And their other other other hit single Love In New Wave from Hip City. As you can see, they've had alooooooot of hit singles. Listen and truly know why!
You can get Hip City here for SG$16.50, since I'm pritt-ty sure itunes doesn't stock singaporean bands. :/

Then there's the Suns. I guess you could argue they're aussie, but once upon a time they were known as the Boredphucks and were singaporean. ...Then they got into a spot of trouble with our overbearing government and the rest is history. :) They don't have a wikipedia entry, and I had trouble getting hold of a copy of their songs due to the elusivity of legal music stores in ho chi minh city that stock them :( Sorry y'all. But! I DO have their myspace page, where they have an abundance (okay, four) of songs for your sampling pleasure. Be sure to listen to all of those; they are exceedingly catchy and pebbley! 'Specially Charlene.

And finally, there is West Grand Boulevard! They call themselves indie, but honestly, they sound more emo/pop to me. But then, what do I know of genres? And anyway, their genre does not affect the extreme coolness of this band!
I could only get my hands on one of the songs I wanted you to hear. Now We Will is lovely! And here's their myspace page where you must hear Flights of Fancy (if it's still there):.

the end!
