Loneliness, romance, bittersweet memories – are even more relevant in society than ever before. This generation is probably the loneliest generation, everyone’s got some kind of social anxiety in some form or another and we love nothing more than to romanticize it. This is especially prominent in Asia, in big modern cities like Singapore, Tokyo, and Beijing due to rapid pace of everyday life in a fast, ever changing environment. Everyone’s lonely and wants to connect with someone but everyone’s awkward and shy, so we write sad introspective pop songs drenched in warm reverb and distortion as a replacement for emotional warmth. The summer of nostalgia is here - so cozy up and soak up the rays cooked up by these rockers.

The evening’s guest of honor is Trip Fuel, from Hefei – a band of young and eager musicians who have been stirring up some noise since their formation in 2017. With moments of jangly math rock and post rock intrigue, and a hefty dose of shoegaze introversion, the band’s single '“Let's Catch The Sun Within 44 Beats And Fuck It’ was featured on the Nerd Noise II compilation at the end of 2017. Their much-anticipated EP is due out later this year.

Also on the bill – rising Beijing instrumental rockers She Never Sings Our Songs –who provide nurturing instrumental rock and roll with shades of math rock playfulness, dream pop pulp, and post rock crescendos that’s spirited, intricately assembled, and brimming with life. Guitars converse with one another, cymbals shimmer with exuberance, and a dialogue is formed between each of the members, volleying back and forth until blurring into mesmerizing blanket of sound

Another band that’s been turning heads for the past couple years has been Last Goodbye - the neo-psychedelic shoegaze outfit that has been keeping listeners enthralled with their glassy dream pop laced world and cathartic buildups. They have opened up for numerous international groups such as Flying Colours, Splashh and so on – and in many folks view are on the brink of breakthrough success.

Last but not least, Acid Accident, the instrumental rock trio, has quietly become the talk of the town over the past year, bringing together a range of influences to create an ambient, post-rock sound experience that’s volatile and impressionist.
