Straits Records is a local record label dedicated to develop and promote original local and regional music. We believe in integrating music with various art forms, cultures and social issues/politics as a channel and vehicle, for both entertainment and creativity as well as education. Straits Records believe that music play an integral part of Singapore's cultural and artistic progress.
In existence since 1995, as Straits Distribution, serving the hardcore punk community by bringing in hard to get hardcore punk music from all over the world. In 1997, we change our name to Straits Records, and commit to release local English music. Our first release as a record label was The Jabs “Time of Negligence” CD EP. To help promote local and regional music to the masses, we have also actively organize music events at venues such The Arts House, The Substation, Esplanade and many more. Bands under our label have also tour regionally to promote Singapore music overseas.
Straits Records does not restrict to just promoting music, as we had collaborated with artists of different art forms, as to give a more visible experience to music. Ultimately, it is about individual equality, freedom of creativity and artistic excellence.

Dear friends, Just to tell you guys a little more about my upcoming EP, I know it has been delayed several times but I hope it'll be worth the wait haha! Anyways, the date has been finalized so grab your presale tickets by clicking the picture above ASAP because they are selling fast! This EP was 7 months in the making and we put a lot of heart, soul, and effort into it and I hope you guys like it. It means a lot as a musician to finally put out something for the public to listen to and whether you hate it or not, I do hope you appreciate our efforts!
For those of you outside of Singapore, hang on tight! We are working out an international shipping system so you guys can get yourselves a copy! The EP will also be out on iTunes shortly after the EP launch!
La Folie are having a launch party on the 8th of June at The Forum in Sheffield! £2 advance tickets/£3 on the door! Plus the added bonus of if you film some stuff from the night of us, you or anything else connected and send it us, we will send you a free copy of 'Risus Sardonicus'

Hi friends! I have a new song up on my myspace called Letting Go. It was recorded at home that's why it doesn't sound as good as Bittersweet. But do give it a listen and let me know what you think! Feedback on how I can improve my recordings and song writing will be greatly appreciated :D
We just uploaded a new version of our song called Shooting Stars! Please listen and tell us what you think of it. Your comments are deepy appreciated! :)
