Artist description Thinking Out Loud came together late last year out of a shared passion for good music and a commitment to shake up the hk music scene. Shunning corny classics they offer an eclectic mix of innovative originals and original takes on interesting covers. Ex-Sisters of Sharon Chris B. provides smouldering vocal delights and occasional twiddling while Chris W.'s gibson-whatever-it-is dances a frisky accompaniment. The whole groove is underpinned by rocksteady bassman Alex S. and funky drummer Hugh W. Mysterious Mr. B pops up to add sax elements to songs.

Press Reviews A musical venture that is a collusion of various individual entities combining to produce an musical genera unknown before. Integrating cultural as well as spiritual combinations, TOLL can certainly be transcribed as a pop band with a certain degree of self expression and individualism. Pertaining to pop, compositions lend themselves intrinsically to rock, although the underlying charisma of music hints at a certain amount of avant garde individualism, without being esoteric.................................... Chris Bowers has a eloquence not seen since Carly Simon. Classically trained, Bowers delivers with an appealing passion, but unusually for a demonic death garage band, with frivolity and humour. Mark Espina's smooth, Rhodes sounding Gibson combined with Chris W.s searing lead cumulate into a rousing crescendo on the song "People"................................. The more poppy "Stranger" is a revelation, both from artistic presentation to melodic appeal. Uplifting harmonies with a classic in yer face guitar riff, intertwine to leave the listener asking "Why didnt the Beatles think of this?"....................... Musical inspirations for "Thinking Out Loud" range from seventies Glam, Neumann and Kraftwerk to Britney and her revenge. A band to be recommended, to any age group..........
