Allura - Wake Up And Smell The Seaweed (AYRCD-007)
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.
The track listing is as follows:
1. Liberty With Wings
2. Sangwich
3. Gamajazillion
4. Closure
5. Limbo

Reviews
Allura
Conceived in early 2007, 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.
Allura wears the badge of youthful rock proudly on their chests, ready to shout from any tall building in the gloomy urban landscape. Full of unfettered energy and conviction, Allura always delivers with bravado without tomorrow, with singer Inch Chua as the energetic lead dancer in the rock symphony phenomena that is Allura.
Accompanied by the vicious licks and kicks of guitarists Aaron Wong and Mark John Hariman, the duelling guitars pin down all listeners in the audience with breath taking gusto. Always there to hold the soaring melodic lines down are drummer Low Han Quan and bassist Matthew Yap, holding the groove and moving the band with pulsating rhythm. Surrender your deepest reservations; get ready to heed Allura’s call.

Aaron Wong – guitar
