Dear Readers,

Bringing to you the crème de la crème of our SYOKSHOCK lineup, four of the best acts will be performing this December 17th 2009 at Mardigras One Utama.

But it does not end there: the icing on this carnival-cake is that guests can participate in the inter-college games and stand a chance to win attractive prizes sponsored by Universal Music, and so much more.

 

Supported by online youth portal Voize.my, SYOKSHOCK! Student Night has also teamed up with Universal Music, I-amtv Independent Music TV, Laguna Records, Greenhouse Studios and also Mixology DJ Academy for this unforgettable night of carnival mystery, masquerade and magic.

Admission is free for ladies all night, Men RM 30 after 11 pm including 1 free drink.

LOVE AS ARSON


LOVE AS ARSON -  the Malaysian East Coast answer to Post Hardcore, a collective of five friends celebrating life and love; everything in between; and lack thereof; through a common understanding and likeliness in hardcore music. Formed in 2005, the band came from Grace Division, a melodic hardcore outfit playing music in the veins of Shai Hulud, Ignite and Stretch Armstrong. Grace Division recorded one EP entitled "The Hate That Hate Produce"(2001) which unfortunately never saw the light of day. After a few line-up changes and constantly exploring various musical styles, the band decided to settle with the moniker "Love as Arson". Comprising of 5 band members, Love as Arson = Afzal (guitars) + Mohasni (vocals) + Nasaudin (guitars) + Shahrudin (bass) + Bakri(drums). Influences vary in the band, as each band member draws personal favourites and brings something to the table. 2007 sees witness as the breakout year for Love as Arson, who came out with their first full-length/first ever release entitled "...and They Fall For Australis"(2007). A mixture of post hardcore and a vast array of emotions, this release marks the start for Love as Arson. A debut heartfelt by many sounded an alarm for them to kick start again by recording new songs on their upcoming EP, THE HANGOVER. The end of adolescence; catchy choruses in the intensity of He Is Legend, Funeral For A Friend and Boy Sets Fire; chunky metal-core riffs with heavy breakdowns meets dreamy strings quartet; they, speak of a profound love..A love that is on fire..

SAM

SAM – is a dude who writes, produces and arranges his own music from his bedroom studio in Puchong. He plays the bass, guitar and keyboard for his own recording sessions but as for live shows, he gets a band to back him up while he is on vocals and guitar. According to Sam, his grandma bought him his firs kapok guitar at the age of 16 for his birthday and he used to hang out at JD’s (Pop Shuvit’s guitarist) studio after school. He was then introduced to music production and not long after, he began singing for jingles. In 2008, he released his first single “Aku Seekor Kuman’ on local radios and soon was yet another song “Crazy” which reached number 2 on Hitz.FM Met 10 Charts. He was also nominated for “Best Pop Song” in the VIMA 2009 Awards.
