New album out now here's what the press thinks:
"It’s immediately obvious that these guys are deeply influenced by the nights and sounds of their city by the sea, and are striking out in their own direction with a pocket full of reference. Yes, Stone City is in many ways similar to LA or for that matter Sydney or any other surf city around the globe, but what makes Durban Durban is that it is an African city, and it shows in the songs on this album. Getting into their stride, “Our Concert Arenas Are Dingy Bars” makes various references to the familiar landmarks and capers that anybody from the city can recognise as the authentic experience, and not the one reflected in glossy brochures aimed at tourists. This is the grittier subculture of the city which spends time ‘under the Umgeni Bridge’, rocking the parking lot, dopping quarts at the Willowvale and skating deserted midnight streets."-Travis Lyle (Levis Music Mag)
"Over the years, Sibling Rivalry have gravitated from a straight up punk rock sound to something that more resembles “world music.” Influence-wise, Sibling Rivalry are like a sponge. They soak up a little bit of everything they hear and see around them, throw it in the Sibling Rivalry blender and bang it out with heart, passion and conviction. On Durban After Dark, there's a strong influence from California prog-rockers RX Bandits, Cape Town's The Rudimentals and I often found myself singing Sublime's line, “Down here at the pawn shop.” But Sibling Rivalry smear those influences with African rhythms, seriously-grooving basslines, punk rock and Mary Jane, and what you're left with is 100% their own. Anger, frustration, heartbreak and broken hearts, dingy bars and a sense of brotherhood and togetherness that's contagious. By now, they're probably the biggest band in Thailand."- Yusuf Laher (Blunt Magazine)
"Infectious, accomplished, capturing rock 'n roll with spontaneous abandonment wrapped up with a swaggering rhythm section and you have an album that will keep you pushing the repeat button"- Claire Angelique (Sunday Magazine)

We used to be called "Mumrik" that was looking for a singer and now we finally found a singer and the band name became STM since we are working together at a distance of 6000miles from Leeds, UK to Kyoto, Japan. We have uploaded 3 songs now. Check out how it works.

Lately we've been touring the other cities wishing people might get to know us a bit more and better, hopefully things are working out. But definitely it makes a lot more fun than just playing in Bangkok. Well, we wish you a great time, mate.
