Artist description Self described as "Indie Pop," Rong's debut release is a collection of 15 catchy tunes that sometimes touch on the fun side of satire and sometimes provoke a bit of the dancer in you. Listening to this album, you hear a little folk, a little funk, a little R & B, some white boy soul and a whole lot of rock and roll combined together with some subtle and not so subtle artistry. If you like songs full of clever wit and crafty song writing with a big hook, this album is for you.

Press Reviews From Amazon.com: This CD has a little bit of everything in it. From the folksy drinking song 'Orphans' to the bluesy 'All Blue Horizons' you are sure to find a song for any mood you are in. Throughout the CD I can hear influences of XTC, They Might Be Giants, The Rolling Stones and 80's pop. The production quality is also top notch. Highly recommended.
