pointed that out in my prev post.
hi, this being my virgin post on the forum, thought it would be most interesting to reply to this thread. reading the postings so far, it is apparent that some folks here have yet to understand the fact that different ppl have different tastes in music. somehow i find this especially common amongst singaporeans. my hope for 2006 is that singaporean musicians be more open-minded and learn to respect differing opinions.
with regards to the suns, i have to say that their recorded songs sound quite ordinary. however, it is important to note that they have made a name for themselves in australia based mainly on their live shows. i expect these to be very exciting affairs and as such, have gained them popularity. have not had a chance to watch their gig so i can't comment on them as a live act. one thing i do know is that during my stay in sydney in '02-'03, there were hardly any aussie bands playing the same brand of music as the suns, so they probably stand out amongst the local bands there.
also like to add that we should recognise the fact that a band's image, style and behaviour do affect how the listener judges their music. for example, i do enjoy the music of sex pistols quite a lot, however, some people think the band is a joke and just part of a scam created by malcolm mclaren. as such, i would not be surprised that the suns behaviour in the past may bias ppl's opinions about their music.

For those people who called The Suns "posers" and whatever, please, seriously. Get your head checked. If there's one difference between them and you it's that they had the balls to get up, pack their bags and leave and go to Australia, abandon everything they know in Singapore, to lead the rock n roll dream. Not only did they make it, they are one of the biggest bands in Melbourne Australia. That certainly beats being a disser on a forum in a lone man's post. At least they have the success to prove it. Now...with that said, can you say you've done the same? And can you say you even sacrificed as much as them to get where they are?
The answer is obvious
The answer is obvious
Face it guys..
as much as i appreciate James for putting up this website for us musicians here in singapore...its really becoming a sespool for mindless dissing and really STUPID questions
c'mon man..most of the users are pretty much kids..who don't have the slightest clue about what music is all about..
ITS NOT JUST SPEED AND METAL MUSIC YOU KNOW??!!!
i salute local musicans who have toiled and have come up in the recent years..instead of appreciating their efforts..we get some childish 'i've got no pubic hair' teenage brat shooting his mouth off!
we are all musicians in our own right and we have to find our OWN style no matter what...no point asking 'what pick do u use'..or 'how high do u wear ur guitar strap' or the million dollar question 'what guitar/amp should i buy'
its all bullshit if you guys don't grow up..and please...please conduct polls with discretion..
there are so many genres out there..stop piling up egoes by defending some shredmaster or whatever...its bloody sickening...honestly!!
so yeah...sorry if i had to lash out like this...

i quite like their arrangements. like punkish kwela music; bubbly and naughty. melodies are quite decent too. website not too bad either.
so i don't know what's so sucky about them, though i wouldn't say they're fantastic.
but hey, not many bands in sg are able to write arrange and sound like them, that's quite definite.

Hullo Wendy,
