The Funkoars - DVD OUT NOW!!

With the success of their sophomore album ‘The Greatest Hits’ (2006), Funkoars have built a passionate and dedicated following throughout Australia. Attaining cult-like support with their outrageous lyrics and explosive live shows, they are forever cemented in the upper echelons of Australian Hip-Hop.
Funkoars is founded on the unique essences of Mr. Trials (Producer/MC), Uncle Sesta (Producer/MC), Sketchy Hons (MC) and DJ Reflux (Producer/ DJ), born in 2000 through Adelaide’s esteemed Certified Wise crew, a name synonymous with some of Australia’s greatest Hip-Hop talent including Hilltop Hoods and DMC Champ Staen-1. The Oars have positioned themselves at the forefront of this ever-growing movement with their unique and unrelenting style, never compromising music for the trappings of success.
Their debut album, ‘Who’s Your Step Daddy’ (2002), garnered them the mantle of OZ Hip-Hop’s rowdiest group and was followed in 2006 by ‘The Greatest Hits’. This audacious release subjects the listener to a raucous journey of excess, leaving you spent and slightly soiled at its conclusion. It truly captures the reckless spirit that is Funkoars.
‘The Greatest Hits’ was toured extensively throughout Australia in 2006, allowing Funkoars the opportunity to perform next to local and international superstars including Public Enemy, Apathy & Celph Titled, Milkbar Stars and Gangstarr. Supporting Hilltop Hoods on their 2006 national ‘The Hard Road’ launch tour, a massive 2007 Big Day Out show to a 2000 strong crowd and a major highlight of 2007’s Obese Records National Block Party Tour, listeners around Australia have embraced Funkoars as one of the wildest live acts in the county. They are filling a void in Australian Hip-Hop by simply being themselves, keeping it stank, surly and most of all slamming. Just like Hip-Hop should be.
Maintaining an ever-vigilant presence in the Oz Hip-Hop scene, Funkoars have collaborated on recent releases from Obese stable-mates Pegz and DJ Bonez, while Trials has featured as guest producer on a number of standout recordings. As primary producer of Vents’ 2007 debut album ‘Hard To Kill’, he has backed up his outstanding solo release, ‘For The Ladies’, with an album already widely touted as one of the year’s best. September 2007 witnessed over 900 loyal Funkoars fans cram into HQ, Adelaide for the filming of the crew’s debut live DVD, Which is now available on Obese Records. Such wild support shows beyond a doubt that The Oars are only going to grow in stature as the Oz Hip-Hop movement continues to usurp the consciousness of the Australian Mainstream. Funkoars third full length album, tentatively titled ‘The Hangover’ is due for release in September 2008.
