It's Part 2! We continue our deep dive into the 30th anniversary of The Oddfellows' Teenage Head album, one of the seminal releases during Singapore's "indie years". This episode, head Oddfellow himself, Patrick Chng, ponders...

  • about whether Song About Caroline could still be relevant today if it kept its original title
  • why guitarist Kelvin got a lot of hate after joining the band
  • how model/singer Jessica Soo rejected a song that would be a smash hit for The Oddfellows
  • and what's next for the band


Singapore's indie scene owes a debt to The Oddfellows, a band that formed in 1988 and helped to shape the music scene in the 1990s. With influences from Husker Du, The Replacements and REM, The Oddfellows were the benchmark for young musicians. They continue to create music and have a new album out, What's Yours And Mine.
