Ben
Based on a loose idea over what sounded good and distasteful, Ben was birthed on a early winters night in Melbourne, Australia, over some beer and bad music. The brainchild of Benjamin then formed into a musical playgroup and before they knew it, spawned into something amazing. Having recorded their first single '5' in late September 2012, they plan to release more material as they mature, expanding in variant form and unearthed melodies. With all four members returning to their sunny home of Singapore for a couple months, the band would be making their live debut on Singapore soil come January 2013.

Amateur Takes Control
Amateur Takes Control creates emotionally charged music which is undeniably diverse in style and influence, yet still manages to show case a seamlessness that justifies their identity as a group. Known for their frenetic onstage performances and dedication to their craft, these young men are passionate about the music they create, helping them receive invitations to prominent shows such as ZoukOut 2009 in Singapore and the Motion Picture Soundtrack series of shows at Laundry Bar, Kuala Lumpur. This, and their prolific releases, has helped ATC garner a sizable following both in Singapore and Malaysia. The band has also had the honour of opening for distinguished bands such as ENVY (Japan), LITE (Japan), +/- {Plus/Minus} (USA) and ***** Magnet (USA).

ANECHOIS
A post-progressive rock band. Drawing from elements of progressive, post-, and math-rock, the quintet has quickly gained a reputation since 2011 for their live shows that run the gamut of dynamics from spine-chilling stillness to back-breaking intensity. From their appearance at Baybeats Festival 2012 to sold-out DIY affairs at BluJaz, an acoustic session for UK mod brand Ben Sherman to their upcoming residency at The Substation, ANECHOIS is a band that constantly seeks out new ways to hone their exceptional sound—a seamless blend of complex rhythmic structures and atmospheric effects that has been described as “ethereal”, “emotional” and “epic”.
