“They have a lot of naive aggression and a dirty kind of sound, which I think makes them a lot more credible than the other pop acts which seem to be singing just for the sake of singing, with no real point of view."- Malcolm Mclaren, Straits Times, Aug 10 1996“ Deriving a sound all its own and with little pretension to boot."- X'Ho, Straits Times, Feb 13 1997Line-up
The genesis of this well-regarded veteran outfit can be traced back to one fateful December day in 1994 when junior college-mates Sean and Pann decided to collaborate musically while in National Service. Though their tastes diverged - Pann was a big fan of death metal, and originally from local death metal band, Silent Sorrow, while Sean was into indie and alternative - they had in common a shared passion for music.Concave Scream is one band that prefers to keep things simple, substantial and independent. Having released 4 full length albums to date, Concave Scream has been driving the underground music scene in Singapore for quite some years now and is arguably the granddaddy of indie-metal-hardrock here.Concave Scream is Sean (vocals, guitars), Pann (guitars, vocals), Dean (drums, percussion) and Farizwan (bass).Style
Concave Scream’s style is melancholic yet hopeful. Musically, the band believes in moving forward and not stagnating. Therefore, every album sounds distinctly different. Currently, the band is back in the studios writing and working out on new material for their upcoming 5th full length album.
