Since their self-released debut, 2002's Who's Ya Step Daddy?,
Funkoars have consistently proven their worth in the music
industry. Their steady rise to the top tier of Australian hip
hop is due in no small part to the group's individualism and
tenacity in going for self while others tread a well-worn
path. Their caution-to-the-wind approach strikes a chord with
the audience, as their sales history and live show will
testify. As the main support on the Hilltop Hoods?Hard Road
tour in 2006, one of the headliners of the 2007 national Block
Party and the show-stealers on 2008's UNIfied roadtrip,
Funkoars touring credentials are second to none.
2006's The Greatest Hits (not actually a greatest hits album,
by the way) was branded a classic by their fans for its
arsenal of party jams with a sinister undertone. On The
Hangover, they've taken the recipe to its logical conclusion,
dragging the listener from the action-packed night before into
the painful morning after. The Hangover truly represents this
group of four misfits, digging deeper into their psyches to
give a headache to any critic trying to pigeon-hole Funkoars
as anything but one of the most raucous and honest groups in
the country.
Spearheaded by the psych-rock-guitar-sampling single "Black
Sally", a song about the perils of alcohol abuse (hey, if
anyone knows, right?) The Hangover is a deeper album than
their last, but the beats that break things are back in full
effect. Production for The Hangover is provided entirely by
Trials and Sesta, with the exception of a last minute
intervention in the form of 'Do It Together', courtesy of
concerned friend Suffa. From unnerving introspection on the
disco-tinged 'Malfunction' to a cynical state of the world
address on the metallic 'Reign on the Masses', The Hangover
finds the Oars heading in new directions topically and
sonically.
Like all savvy partygoers, Funkoars bring some friends along
to blame for the damage. Fellow Certified Wise members Hilltop
Hoods and Vents trade verses with the Oars on 'Double Dutch',
while DJ Ad-Fu delivers on the cut on 'Bootleg It' and, in an
absolute coup, Brooklyn legend Masta Ace pipes up to show us
how hip hop is supposed to sound.
While taking a break from recording. Funkoars dug their heels
into the national touring circuit, gigged heavily and quickly
became fan favourites. Trials also stepped aside creatively
and produced two albums, Vents' Hard To Kill and Drapht's
Brothers Grimm, two very different albums that were delivered
to strong reviews and significant radio play for their
respective singles, Vents' richly layered 'Love Song' and
Drapht's whimsical 'Jimmy Recard' deftly demonstrated Trials?
ability to bring out the best in MCs with his beatcraft.
