Astreal is an indie rock band, most often associated with the genres, shoegazing and noise pop. The band was formed in Singapore in 1996 although some date their origins to 1992 with their first incarnation as Breed. They are known for their incendiary live performances as well as being one of Singapore’s first indie rock bands fronted by a female vocalist. Although they cite My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Curve as influences, its also known that past and current members have interests in industrial rock, death metal, black metal, electronica, and Japanese rock/Visual Kei. The current members are Ginette Chittick (bass/vocals), Muhammad Alkhatib (guitars), and Redzuan Hussin (drums).

1992 - 1994
The original Astreal line-up was formerly known as Breed, consisting of members Pagit Yong (vocals), Muhammad Alkhatib (guitars), William de Silva (bass), and Alwyn Lim (drums). Formed in 1992 among junior college friends, it is rumored that their initial name was derived from the Godflesh track ‘Like Rats’. They recorded two rare cassette EPs, Dive Gemma and Chlorine Explosion, during this period. Pagit left the band in 1994. The remaining core of the band consisting of Alkhatib, William, and Alwyn remained consistent until 2002.
