Flipped through Lime mag of march 08 yesterday,saw 2 page dedicated to singapore indie band,so decided to check them out just now.Surprised,they totally rock your shoes,shirts,bras and...more off where they should be.
Thus i decide to decide a music review post just for them using the best way i could ever think of.

BAD OBSESSION:if you like 80s rock like bon jovi, AC/DC n....more which i suddenly forgot,this band is for you!
Music: 4/5
Vocals:3/5 (screaming sounds too thin,sings like a punk,needs improvement)
lyric content:okok la,afterall rock is often associated with girls and sex n drugs n booze n all the rebellious,meaningless things in life. 2.5/5
overall:since im into 80s,90s rock music i will give them 3.5/5

WITHERED ROOTS:how can we forget my fave genre!grunge!unfortunately it does not suit my taste,metal doesn seem to suit grunge.After so much headbanging listening to nirvana,i could hardly feel the bassy filling notes.
Music: 3/5
vocals:3/5
lyrical content:sounds too emo,hear their 1st song die alone know already,pathetic.2/5
overall:2.5/5 perhaps im too into nirvana that i have higher expectations for them,but normally metal inclined grunge doesn have the same feeling.kinda sad =((

OVERALL VERDICT OF Singapore MUsic:Not to be underestimated,great music to rival other places.but most bands need vocal coaches and poets to match the international scene
