Influences
"...his debut album 'Trouble Being Yourself' sounds like a nerdier version of N.E.R.D...From his sneaky horns to his hand-claps and Super Mario samples, Yeo recorded, mixed and produced the entire album. It's catchy, cheeky good fun.
" - Nick Christie on thecoolhunter.net
"One part Prince, one part Phoenix, and during the closing song Why World Wars Happen, one part My Disco … that bass line was intense! This funky quartet [we are actually a quintet, but that night one of our band members was in Norway - ed.] had the floorboards shaking for the most part, proving themselves as a very fun, talented live act who established a very carefree, danceable vibe..." - Scott Mehaffey on FasterLouder.com.au
"...with the vigour of Energizer bunnies, Yeo Choong and his accordingly fresh-faced cohorts funk like Curtis Mayfield fronting Parliament, sending taut drumbeats, fat basslines, clipped guitar chords, sunny trumpet fills and Bernie Worell-channelling synth lines flying everywhere...elsewhere, their forays into ’70s soul prove to be a resounding success, bringing the band’s vocal harmonies out to the front." - Denis Semchenko in Rave Magazine

Hello Faithful
followers!! Sorry for the
disappearing act. Maggie cracked her head open during a basement show, so we’ve
been out(no pun intended) for awhile. She is almost better so when that happens
we’ll be back in the recording studio. In the meantime, we did manage to
convince our buddies at myspace.com/onryeproductions to let us do the video
game SFX that are on their newest episode.
If you are interested
in having a song or songs of yours featured in future episodes please send mp3s
to onryecontact@gmail.com
Everything is pleasing to the senses around here!! BIG ups! Keep doin' what ya love!!!
