Regret’s Eponymous Hardcore Debut
New hardcore band Regret have released an eponymous 7-track debut EP on cassette and through bandcamp.
A veteran of the local music scene singer Riz also plays guitar in Dagger, fronted the massively popular King Ly Chee and runs the popular Unite Asia hardcore music website.
Commenting on his new band and their debut EP Riz said “We were just looking to play something that was more straight-ahead hardcore punk whose simplicity and directness is better suited to capture the intense emotions we all have as HongKongers living through the tumultuous past couple of years.”
Regret‘s seven tracks, including We Exist, the band’s debut single released in March, are about political turmoil, minority rights, police brutality and censorship.
“The past couple of years have been heavy on the people of Hong Kong, but then you’re seeing similar issues pop up in Myanmar, Thailand, Chile, USA, and everywhere else,” commented Riz in an interview.
“Though you may find your own situation so utterly hopeless, seeing others fighting the same causes brings a sense of camaraderie. So instead of letting all of these dark, chaotic, uncertain emotions eat us up inside, we’re getting it out through this music.”
Regret: Riz, Kuro, Egas

Hong Kong-based heavy metal band OzMium released a debut 3 track EP this month, The Lion Rises, on bandcamp.
OzMium – Vincent Ratcliffe, Conrad Chow, Tadeo Don Ashish, Jerry Justin and Gregory Bell – self-recorded and produced debut “looks to capture the band’s creative efforts during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic lockdown”. Or as they put it “We aim to revive the 70s/80s classic and thrash metal revolution with a hint of modern flavor”.
Hybrid Stereo, New Single Enigma
Alt-rock band Hybrid Stereo have released a new music video featuring their third single Enigma.
Enigma is available on 20 April on all music platforms. The band describes the new release this way “This is the third track that we’ve released from our upcoming EP. The track itself showcases more of our heavier side with the lyrics dedicated to those who can’t help but beat themselves up with their own thoughts. This song hopes to remind everyone to take any chance that comes, capture any glimpse of light, and embrace it, letting it set within. It is good to be kind to oneself (and others around).”
Hybrid Stereo are Andrea Curtis (vocals), Zerron Qym (guitar), Shaun Apellido (guitar), Bryan Mendoza (bass) and Jm Inot (drums) and you can listen to their previous singles Into the Light and Broken Shards on youtube.
The music video was filmed and edited by Hans Martin and Renell Santiago.
