It's the 30th anniversary of Democracy and Midnight In June, two local albums that made a splash in the scene back in 1993.

Democracy, by Kevin's band, Watchmen, was the result of years of songwriting, demos and braving challenges that were thrown in their path. Midnight In June, by Chris' band AWOL (Artists Without Official Licence), came about after they won the New School Rock/Commitments band competition.

In this first part, Kevin and Chris share their experiences on the road to Democracy and Midnight In June. How did award-winning filmmaker Eric Khoo play a part in both their albums? Why did AWOL not know they were taking part in a battle of the bands? And what was the band brouhaha over Democracy? All this and more on Lion City Rock!
