   About ALLURA

Attention: Allura's Ladeda & Limbo are available for request on Perfect 10, 98.7fm. So please do , text message, call away or email to request for us!

Allura was conceived in early 2007 from an unusual series of unfortunate events. 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. With emotive passion and resilience, Allura pristinely resonates a unique quirky melodic tone with a prerogative crunch. Feel and embrace a new emotively refreshing sound, oozing into your senses.



Behind the scenes, after the show. Come meet the band! :D
Special Thanks to Ron From BluePrint Studios.

    REVIEWS

    Music debut at the Esplanade's Mosaic Music Festival 2007
    " Formed out of the ashes of the now-defunct Auburn's Epiphany after "a series of unfortunate events," Allura was ready to shake off their previous band's shadow by playing completely new songs by the new band. Lead vocalist Inch's dynamism and the band's youthful exuberance showed as they blasted through their set with songs like Ladida, Diary Page No. 13, and Closure. One might be compelled to peg them as an alternative emo band, but the band proved they were capable of jazzier arrangements with the song Clandestine."

    - Mosaic Mania Review by Lennat

    ALLURA Beyond The Ashes
    " Allura was forged in the fire of conflict and discontent and in the aftermath, has emerged as one of the most promising, raw and young bands out there in the Singapore music scene. "

    - Power Of Pop Interview by Kevin Matthews

    Rebel Yell





    Aug 9 2008 3:34 AM



    ..
    ..
    Rebel Yell have released their music video for the single 'Rebels in the System'.
    Teamed up with multimedia students from Republic Polytechnic, the trio have released their first ever music video for the song about everything that’s bad and how no one can remain ignorant about it.


    And like the boys say, if you not down with it, then get the fuck on with it.


    "All that Rebel goodness with three times the illness"
