Tokyo Square

Tokyo Square is a Singaporean pop rock band formed in 1984 by singer Linda Elizabeth and guitarist Peter Han. What started off as a duo soon became a fully-fledged band with the addition of Dana’s half-brother Fazli Dana on drums and brothers Max and Adam Surin on vocals and bass, respectively. They made their debut with the single “Within You’ll Remain” in 1985, a cover of Hong Kong’s Chyna that was included in the WEA Singapore compilation Class Acts. The single not only was a hit in their native Singapore, topping the charts and garnering nationwide attention, but also received heavy airplay in other Southeast Asian countries. In 1986, Tokyo Square became the first rock group to play at the Singaporean National Day Parade. After recording two more tracks—“Oriental City” and “Without Your Love”— for a second Class Acts compilation, Surin quit the group to launch his solo career. He rejoined Tokyo Square in 1987. In the following years, the band experienced a resurgence of popularity after Warner Music Singapore released remastered versions of both Class Acts compilations.
