Ep3: What is SG Indie?

from Lion City Rock · host The Fast Colors, Chris Toh, Kevin Mathews

In the 1990s, the Singapore music scene experienced a resurgence, with many indie bands dropping new singles and albums every year. After the dearth of material in the 1970s and 1980s, it was sometimes called the "second wave" of local music or "the indie years".Artists who topped the charts during this era included The Oddfellows, Watchmen, Kick, Livonia, Humpback Oak, Art Fazil and Daze, among others. But how did this indie explosion come about?Chris and Kevin take a look back at what happened with Singapore's indie scene and can it compare to the scene we have today?Links:Check out Zircon Lounge hereCheck out The Oddfellows here.Check out Corporate Toil herePresented by The Fast Colors, Lion City Rock is currently the only weekly podcast about Singapore's pop music scene from past to present.

Explicit 20 Something W/ Aidan Steinbach aidan.steinbach My name is Aidan Steinbach and I am a 20 something year-old kid. I just moved to a new city, to start a new job, with new people… And I have no idea what I’m doing. There’s a huge pressure to know exactly what you’re doing and the exact trajectory that your life is on… But it’s completely unrealistic. And with social media, it can be so easy to feel behind people, because everyone else’s life looks so perfect. So I wanted to offer a genuinely transparent look into what a 20 something-year-old’s life in a new city looks like.
