Here's something a bit different to listen to as we drift off into our Sunday evenings... Obedient Wives Club are a five piece band from Singapore who belt out songs inspired by guitarist Keith Tan 's 'almost unhealthy obsession' with Phil Spector . Their fuzzy lo-fi indie-pop is brilliantly swoonsome and lead singer, YinQi Lee has a voice, according to her record label, that you'll, "want to make love to." [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Obedient Wives Club - Murder Kill Baby Oh the glorious fuzz! Obedient Wives Club take their self-styled Spectorgaze (remember this kids!) to all new heights with the release of their Murder Kill Baby EP. What awaits is the throwback-to-saccharine 60s girl-band inspired pop paired with an almost manic dose of fuzzed out backwash that only the evilest of musical geniuses would dare tread upon. Don't let any of [...]

Here are some facts about Vigo Thieves that you may or may not already know: In February, they became the first unsigned band to sell out two consecutive gigs at King Tut's in the Glasgow venue's 23-year history; the promo video for Ghosts features John Leslie in the lead role, singing karaoke; their new EP, Heart & Soul Part II , is out now; Heartbeats was one of the best songs of 2012. Okay, that last one is an opinion, but draw your own [...]

Avevo parlato degli Obedient Wives Club qui sul blog più o meno un anno fa , e ora la band di Singapore torna con un nuovo EP intitolato Murder Kill Baby . Rispetto all'esordio che si definiva "spectorgaze", il quintetto sembra aver abbandonato le inclinazioni più Jesus & Mary Chain ed essersi spogliato della superficie più rumorosa del proprio suono, e le canzoni ora scintillano in un bianco e nero totalmente Sixties. Certi paragoni con Best Coast risultano quindi più calzanti, ma questo non è per forza un punto debole. Mi piacciono molto quando si lanciano [...]

>> Sheffield, England-based pop savants Screaming Maldini have at long last announced a release date for its long-awaited, hotly anticipated debut long-player. The sextet's self-titled set will be issued Feb. 4 by its French label HipHipHip. The 12-song collection will be released on CD, digital and white 180g vinyl.

Facebook / obedientwivesclub.bandcamp.com / Obedient Wives Club are the first band from Signapore to find their way onto the blog, though, to be honest I don't think I could name a single other band from the country (sorry!), the five piece's sound is described on their bandcamp as 'spectorgaze' and I can go with that, for amongst bucketloads of fuzz and surf-pop guitar lines are syrupy, 60's girl-group vocal harmonies. Don't worry name aside, they've nothing in common with the Islamic organisation... "That Boy" kicks off their six [...]
