Previously known as, Flight's Sorrow, The Preamble was formed in 2007. The Preamble meant the beginning and for them, a whole new set of band members meant a whole new beginning. Throughout 2008, The Preamble worked on writing more originals. In early 2009, they began performing at gigs and their first public show was at F.A.D studio. Subsequently, the drummer, Stephen, got hold of more gigs and after having worked on their 5th song, they performed at Cineleisure. The Preamble is now looking forward to working on their EP and would like to thank everyone who has been supporting them!

4. Marlon Ingle

A student at Lasalle, the college of the arts, Marlon has been into music since his early teen years. Picking up the guitar at the tender age of 13, he subsequently started playing the ukulele, harmonica and keyboard as he delved deeper into music. Writing all the songs he can and recording them in his humble bedroom, Marlon is slowly moving into the studio to get his works finally recorded properly.

Ever since he enrolled in Lasalle, studied Music Technology, he started experimenting with electronic sounds. He fuses an acoustic vibe with electronic elements and also integrates jazz chords into pop rock music, bringing something a little different to the table, so don't expect mediocre 4-chord pop songs.

In and out of a number of bands, he has decided to just take it easy and do his own thing.

5. HWACHONG MAD Hip Hop

More than just a CCA at school, MAD Hip Hop is a group consisting of dance enthusiasts practicing various street dance forms including hip hop, popping and waacking. Under the guidance of various instructors and previous generations of members, MAD Hip Hop has grown from it’s beginnings and has participated in various performances and competitions, such as Tapestry, Inspire, Danceworks and of course, HwaChong Dance Night. Now, keep your eyes open, as MAD Hip Hop 2010 brings you another performance that will definitely make you want to move your feet to the music too!

7. Trella

Formed in early 2007, Trella has been building a reputation with the local kids by playing numerous shows around the country to promote their music, despite each member having to devote most of his time to work or school.

Come 2010, the young rock quintet fervently pushes forward with more than just live shows in mind. A new voice and whole new attitude fuels their latest effort, "The Silver Lining" EP.

Picking up right where their last release, "Orion" (2008) left off, "The Silver Lining" marks a new era for the band and its listeners. Recorded in June to November 2009 with producer Roland Lim who also helmed the board for 2008's "Orion," the new EP takes you on a journey through the band's existence. Featuring songs both old and new, "The Silver Lining" gives the audience a sonic perspective of the development of the band and its music over time.

8. For This Cycle

At only 17 years old, singer/songwriter Weiwen Seah has already established his place in Singapore's local music scene. Armed with his sincere vocals and acoustic guitar, Weiwen has captivated the hearts of many with his melodic "soul-pop" tunes. Performing under the moniker "For This Cycle", Weiwen's music proves to have no barriers, garnering support in countries from Finland to the Philippines. Best described as "having ice cream at the beach on a Friday night with your friends", Weiwen's unique blend of acoustic-guitar driven pop-rock is said to be way beyond his years.

In June 2008, Weiwen began working with local indie label Big Ear Musica and highly renowned producer Roland Lim on debut EP. Featuring crowd favourites such as Paper Feet, Oceans, and For What It's Worth, Weiwen released his 5-song EP to a sold out audience on the 11th of July featuring collaborations with Ex- Electrico Guitarist Daniel Sassoon and Ex-Rafe drummer Jordan Cheng.

Weiwen also appeared on Channel 5's "Live 'N' Loaded" series, where he was named the "Best Breakthrough Act" of the season and was also invited to play at Singapore's prestigious Baybeats festival 2009, alongside international acts such as Anberlin(USA), Fountains of Wayne's Chris Collingwood(USA), and Love Me Butch(MSIA).
