Allura was conceived in early 2007 from an unusual series of unfortunate events. Allura is a five-piece band infusing a different variety of influences, from Jazz to Alternative, from Experimental to Indie - portrayed in the form of Rock. With emotive passion and resilience, Allura pristinely resonates a unique quirky melodic tone with a prerogative crunch. Feel and embrace a new emotively refreshing sound, oozing into your senses.
Behind the scenes, after the show. Come meet the band! :D
Special Thanks to Ron From BluePrint Studios.
Please do feel free to download, burn & distribute our downloadable song(s).

REVIEWS
Music debut at the Esplanade's Mosaic Music Festival 2007
" Formed out of the ashes of the now-defunct Auburn's Epiphany after "a series of unfortunate events," Allura was ready to shake off their previous band's shadow by playing completely new songs by the new band. Lead vocalist Inch's dynamism and the band's youthful exuberance showed as they blasted through their set with songs like Ladida, Diary Page No. 13, and Closure. One might be compelled to peg them as an alternative emo band, but the band proved they were capable of jazzier arrangements with the song Clandestine."
ALLURA Beyond The Ashes " Allura was forged in the fire of conflict and discontent and in the
aftermath, has emerged as one of the most promising, raw and young bands out
there in the Singapore music scene. "
ALLURA'S EP: WAKE UP AND SMELL THE SEAWEED IS OUT IN STORES. You can grab your copy at Gramophone, Sembawang Music, Earshot Cafe, Roxy Records, Straits Records, MusicForGood and Beat Merchant Studios. :)
Sorry, our merch has sold out. (: and we've been too caught up with work or down with some sickness to plan anything yet. But fret not, we'll cough up a new fresh batch of shirts and buttons soon. (heh, pun intended)

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
We have changed our drummer. exit Rino, Enters Adam
Hammerson. Rino has left Vermillion due to scholastic reasons! :) and

Dear friends,
Just to tell you guys a little more about my upcoming EP, I know it has
been delayed several times but I hope it'll be worth the wait haha!
Anyways, the date has been finalized so grab your presale tickets by clicking the picture above ASAP
because they are selling fast! This EP was 7 months in the making and
we put a lot of heart, soul, and effort into it and I hope you guys
like it. It means a lot as a musician to finally put out something for
the public to listen to and whether you hate it or not, I do hope you
appreciate our efforts!
For
those of you outside of Singapore, hang on tight! We are working out an
international shipping system so you guys can get yourselves a copy!
The EP will also be out on iTunes shortly after the EP launch!
Great set yesterday! I enjoyed the newer songs a lot. And it was funny when that Ang Moh MC had to slouch to speak into the side address mic after the set...
Hi friends! I have a new song up on my myspace called Letting Go. It was recorded at home that's why it doesn't sound as good as Bittersweet. But do give it a listen and let me know what you think! Feedback on how I can improve my recordings and song writing will be greatly appreciated :D
Alamak. NS sucks balls man! It was such a waste of time for me as well. But once that first busy part is over I think you'll still be able to work out gigs on the weekends? Hey do you have any music onsale online?
