Shaf (Naedr)

SPB: Exploring a new (to me) scene is always interesting and the Singapore scene is largely unknown to me. Please be our guide and show us a couple of highlights of the scene, where should we start exploring in your opinion? 

Shaf: To be honest we have no idea where to even begin, haha. But in any case we figured it'd be best to compile a list of various Singaporean music platforms, labels, sites as well as bands that have all done and contributed remarkably to the Singapore music scene, be it in the past or current present day. They're all definitely worth checking out, and hopefully it would give a better insight to you regarding the music scene here in our little island!

If you are a frequent visitor of this site, perhaps you remember my glowing review of Naedrs debut album Past Is Prologue. That album made a huge impression on me and still gets heavy rotation. So you understand I was quite excited to see new material from this band. And it is a split release no less, so it presents … Read more

Past Is Prologue
Zegema Beach Records (2020)
