Formed in 1990 as a four piece fresh out of school, influenced by thrash, punk and Madchester, with various line- up changes, spanning their 19 years gigging and writing music for the masses and various indie\/local (Singapore) film soundtracks.

Free of any genre pigeon-holding, The Stoned Revivals has constantly been ahead experimenting with psychadelia, jazz, funk, soul, blues , disco, Britrock, spacerock and even bastardising house music since their formation in 1990. Having played in countless DIY gigs in their early years and moving on to playing in clubs like Zouk, Phuture and Velvet Underground. Whether it\u2019s being hand-picked by No Doubt to open for their Singapore concert at the Indoor Stadium in 1997, opening for Towa Tei of DeeLite, rocking the stage in Vietnam for the Heineken Green Room Sessions or playing in a festival Zoukout, the band has maintained their non-conformist ethics throughout.<\/p>\n

Their first time playing live together as a foursome was for the Even Ruder gig at Esplanade which then led to their television appearance on Live and Loaded singing an unreleased track “Soundtracks of our lives” and “The New Way” which was from the “For Good” compilation.<\/p>\n
