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. "

"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..."

"...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."
