Introducing a rising Hongkie band called RubberBand .Here's a brief band intro and a little about their first album :~

来自不同band组合的主音6号、键琴手艺琛、低音结他手阿伟、结他手Clement和鼓手泥鯭，于2004年走在一起成立RubberBand男子乐团，独创出音乐风格，在不少公开场合曾表演，华语乐坛擦出了音乐火花。　　

在加入金牌娱乐后，RubberBand推出首张专辑《Apollo18》，收录了15首的创作歌曲和3首MV。以“升空旅程”为题，RubberBand与歌迷们展开了Apollo18的升空旅程，体验音乐的新宇宙，以“无乐不欢”的姿态率先创作了“一早地下铁”、“游车河”、“Tears”、“零度圣诞”等精彩乐曲，且为歌迷们带来了惊喜。

Translated concisely, RubberBand is made up of four members: Frontman 6号、Keyboardist 艺琛、Bassist 阿伟、Lead Guitarist Clement and Drummer 泥鯭. They formed the Band in 2004 and performed in numerous big gigs around Hong Kong. Their first album, has been released in 2008 and all 15 songs were self composed by the members. They've also won their biggest award in 2008: 叱吒樂壇新力軍組合~金獎.

I can't remember the last time I've ever heard of a HK band, let alone praising any of them. RubberBand (it's actually 2 words, "Rubber" and "Band") is absolutely not another sickly bubblegum pop boyband. There's a funky and Jazzy edge to their songs, quite commercialized to be a rock band. Some might even think they don't qualified as a 'rock band' as they are too mainstream, and they don't do solo. Although I do admit they have some hints of pop, but speaking of commercializing their music, they have a way of getting people who doesn't like bands to love them. Moreover, there are not many bands, particularly those who don't play rock survived out there, especially in HK.

You'll like 'em if you enjoy listening to 卢广仲（Lu Guang Zhong） or Swing (a Hong Kong two- man group). Plus, I'm absolutely FOR people who rawk on live performances. 6号 is really good y' know!
