Ep17: Funky grooves with Stoned Revivals

Nobody combined the funky smooth sounds with Lion City vibes better than The Stoned Revivals.

Formed by friends who just wanted to play music, The Stoned Revivals had a uniquely different sound to what the rest of the indie scene was churning out. Their perky grooves, syncopated beats and stage flair meant these guys would always be the life of any party.

Now, members Esam Salleh, Kamal Yacob and Syed Ahmad shed light on:

...whether their name either was inspired by drugs or a record store

...how "blue movie" soundtracks informed their sound

...why their gig supporting No Doubt was memorable for all the wrong reasons

...whether their album 'Golden Lovesongs From The Evil Island Of The Handsome Tropical Cannibals' really is a social commentary about Singapore
