The Songs Of 2008
What have we learnt from 2008? Writing songs are easy. But writing a good song is another matter. Here’s a list of songs we’ve written and performed in 2008 and a live version (with kinks, dings and mistakes) of each for free download.

Baybeats Band Interviews - Midnight Marvel
SMU Campus Radio
PODCAST INTERVIEW - SMU CAMPUS RADIO, 2008
[DOWNLOAD: MEDIAFIRE]
During the lead up to Baybeats 2008, the publicity team of Esplanade did a really good job of hooking up the various bands with the press. Here’s a rare audio interview of us (minus Shirley who was away in Hong Kong for vacation) with the SMU campus radio folks. You also get to hear one of those rare moments where our ex-members Eve and Alf did an awesome acoustic rendition of “Straight Doll.”

“SPIT IT OUT!” - STUDIO DEMO
[DOWNLOAD: MEDIAFIRE]
We recorded our first demo in December 2007 at TNT Studios over a two-hour session. We had decided to submit an entry for Baybeats 2008 at the very last minute and the both of us - Shirley and Lennat - were also leaving for Perth to catch Tegan and Sara during their tour for The Con around the submission closing date, so time was of the essence.
The song eventually landed us a Saturday opening slot at Baybeats and is also named as one of the 44 songs that define Singapore by Today’s Christopher Toh, who calls the song “pseudo-punk, sure, but it still grooves in all the right places.”
We suppose the three-chord spontaneity and the mistakes in the song made us quite “punk” indeed.
