WAKE ME UP MUSIC (also known as WMUM) was birthed out of a passion
to reach an audience that wasn't listening. Established in mid-2001,
its main objective is to promote underrated, understated and even
unheard-of artistes, and make their music available to the masses.
Starting out primarily as an independent record label, WMUM has
been representing local bands and facilitating their CD releases
since its inception in 2000. Acclaimed local acts like Plain Sunset
(disbanded), Marchtwelve (disbanded), My Squared Circle, Pug Jelly
and Fishtank are just some of WMUMs alumni.
Bands currently under the WMUM banner include :
Vertical Rush
Surreal
Sky In Euphoria
Set For Glory
A Vacant Affair.
WMUM is also on a look out for bands that shares the same fire and
passion.
WMUMs most recent releases include Surreals Fingerpointing EP (2005)
and local compilation The 3 Letter Sessions B (2004).
Aside from the label, WMUM also runs a music shop in the western
part of Singapore. The indie and unpretentious one-stop music hub
sells (among other things) guitar gear, CDs from local, regional
and international indie bands, band merchandise, and other vintage
items. The shop also offers services like t-shirt printing and button
making. WMUM also houses a jamming studio, which has proven to be
popular with professional musicians and budding wannabes alike.
With a current network in Malaysia, WAKE ME UP MUSIC hopes to branch
out further into the rest of Asia, and possibly Australia. WMUM
aims to place Singapore on the world map of indie music through
its emphasis on showcasing local bands, while documenting the Singapore
music scene's journey and growth.
It's about time we WAKE UP to some good music!
