Can you smell the new sound of the youthful underground?

Recorded at Snakeweed Acoustic Lab by Leonard Soosay and mastered at Scott Hull Mastering, NYC, USA by Scott Hull, this EP is a collection of songs which captures the high-octane live performance of the youthful band. It is a celebration of one of the hottest emerging young acts in Singapore.

Rocking and refreshing, Allura’s debut EP is a tantalising taste of bigger things to come. From the word go, Allura draws you into their world of up-tempo rock with the opening ‘Liberty with Wings’. The rest of the ride is a riot punctuated by the mood inducing ‘Gamajazillion’ and finally ending with the stadium-rousing anthem of ‘Ladeda’. Wake Up And Smell The Seaweed will suck you into the whirlpool of youthful vibrancy, with the almost pixie-like quality of front woman Inch Chua, flanked delicately by the furious but precise guitar stabs of guitarists Aaron Wong and Mark John and supported by the explosive rhythm machine of Low Han Quan and punchy bass growl of Matthew Yap.

The EP defies any attempts to be submerged into the depths of boring rock. Uplifting and emotionally addictive, their debut outing delivers candy-sweet pop melodies and, leaving the listener craving for more.

Wake Up And Smell The Seaweed will be released on 7 June to coincide with the band’s performance at Rock The Sub 2008.

The track listing is as follows:

1) Liberty With Wings
2) Sangwich
3) Gamajazillion
4) Closure
5) Limbo
6) Ladeda

The only thing in my mind is: "Was there any tongue involved?"

aaron actually had a mascot phobia before this and we all sorta egged him to go take a picture with the mascot.

HAHAHA but he walked over and ended up snogging the mascot! Wooo.
The best part is that we don't know if it was a dude or a chick inside.
