Distant – Bear Culture (Original)
Once again, bear culture humble in their presentation of their music and fast paced in their skills and style of playing and as they call it progressive rock. Bear culture, presented their first Original "Distant" which was no doubt amazing and a song to die for. Look out for Jammerz Arena's bear culture as they storm the seas of the local music scene, being featured in various external shows hosted by SCAPE** and many more. Bear Culture is a band to look out for as they gear up for their possible gig at Esplanade. Great Job Guys !
Item 4 : Chapter 3 - Guitar Instrumental
Brothers – Malmsteen
Title of the song says it all; "Brothers" the same spirit we share among our female and male members in Jammerz Arena. This item aims to showcase the talents of our Guitar players, featuring two of all our best guitarist we have in JA. Hannan and jayme shred their guitar with much enthusiast and style. As the audience were amazed and astonished at the skills that this young talents has in them. It was no doubt, one of the items you watch and will always remember. Among the audience, we could see lots of people grew interest in their play as the song began to ring in their ears.

Item 5 : Chapter 4 - Rubber Band (Juniors Band)
(Lead Guitar: Sherman / Bass: Sheikh / Drums: Hydhir/ Vocals: Amira)
Waking Up In Vegas – Katy Perry
Only Exception – Paramore
As the juniors took the stage, no doubt Jammerz Arena's future is as some migh put it as "Safe in the hands of the future generations". Covering songs with great feel, the juniors had a tough time perfecting their skills to ensure that they met the stringent requirements of the seniors. Practicing non-stop for a few months, their hard work and efforts has no doubt not gone to waste; As they performed their best and left audiences intrigued and wanting for more. Ending their set with Paramore's song titled "Only Exception", a very strong emotional song, with lots of meaning caught our lead singer "Amira" to shed her tears as she sang the song. With the encouragement she got from the audiences, she pushed through and did the song with not just her best, but with all her heart. Great Job Guys !
Item 6 : Chapter 5 - Drum Ensemble (Essential Beats)
(Drum 1: Niki / Drum 2: Ariel / Percussions: Wei Hao/ Hydhir)
Drum ensemble, didnt receive their name "Essential Beats" till two days before the show. Essential beats is formed out of the group of amazing drummers we have in JA. With the multi talented pool of drummers we have. Every drummer has been known for their own unique style, which makes JA a touch higher in terms of musicianship and percussion strength. With drummers coming from a variety of genre and playign style, members like wei hao whom is an ex-chinese orchestra member. Is skilled in both percussions and chinese orchestra instruments. Niki is also a drum teacher whom conducts drum classes for aspiring players. Ariel, is a drum meister, when it comes to precision and technical skills. He is the man for you! Last but not least, Hydhir whom is a drummer from the all famous local band "Tacit Aria", gives JA that extra push to make us a touch higher in terms of skills and musicianship levels.
Item 7 : Chapter 6 - Paradox
(Lead Guitar: Fauzi / Guitar 2: Malcolm / Bass: Khair / Drums: Wei Hao/ Vocals: TK)
Soldier Of Fortune– Deep Purple
With Arms Wide Open - Creed
Hump De Bump - RHCP
Paradox, having changed their setlist at the very last minute and still be able to pull off a fantastic set, has shown how prepared and skilled their musicians were. Having a bold front of starting off with experimental rock conversion of hip hop songs. Has given them an edge in the music scene in RP. Having performed their popular number "Hotel Room Service" & "Lollipop" Though receiving both bad and good comments on their bold taste in music. Paradox has moved on to still wow the audience with their skillful and charismatic band mates, whom never fails to excite their audience with their discreet sudden movements and unique tunes that brings about the essence of paradox. Though, parodox's drummer/ back up vocals "Utha" did not appear together with Paradox, he is still in paradox. Having performed alongside other JA bands in school, YOG and even scape events. Paradox and JA intends to bring about something new in every show you attend.

Having performed their first original "Prison Outlaw" with song initially composed by Amin & Saam. The song was given life, with Amin creating the lyrics and thahirah bringing out the punch in the song. Amin dedicated member of JA and FADE, has been on a constant strive to make the best out of his years in JA. Joining JA late in 2010, he never failed to waste anytime to catch up and do his best. He can be seen giving his best even during practice sessions and rehearsal. It clearly shows the kind of commitment he has for JA, his Musicianship and his love for his band. Having a unique cultural mix in the band, Saam often finds himself lost in translation as his other four malay band mates sometimes get carried away speaking malay. =P Kudo's to FADE !! You guys ended the show with thunder and lightning.

A song filled with a thousand appreciations, hard work, tears, emotions and heartaches. Throgh the process of preparing for the show. Many of our members suffered both emotional breakdowns ranging from relationship problems to family problems. Despite the ups and downs, JA members still pushed themselves to the max and gave their best for Quintessential 2010. Jammerz Arena has no doubt came a long way. From it being almost closed down in 2009 till 2011 emerging as one of the top 7 most popular IG's in Republic Poly. Great Job JA !! Keep It Up!!
