Side-Line introduces Cosmic Armchair

Thank you Side-Line Magazine for the review on  Dec 14, 2016

The band is already very well established in Asia through numerous live performances, radio and TV shows and various international collaborations, proving that not only Scandinavian acts can produce slick electro pop.

And also for the review on September 27, 2017

National Day Parade Song Remixed: Because it’s Singapore!

You might recognize our remix if you’ve been to ActiveSG aerobics workouts at the community centre, or warming up with the Junior NBA – it’s our dance version of the National Day Parade Song, Because it’s Singapore, which was written and sung by our friend Jay Lim. Well, don’t just sit there listening, get Active! 🙂
