Information About
Dubbing themselves the Lion City Ska punkers, The Full Pledge Munkees is a pioneering ska-punk act in Singapore’s music scene. They formed in 1999, beginning as a trio and expanding to include a horns section. They draw on a wide variety of musical influences, rooting their music in ska-punk but evolving their own distinctive style, becoming known for the infectious energy of their upbeat music. Their musical inspirations include a number of Japanese ska bands like Potshot, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and Kemuri as well as American punk act The Suicide Machine.They released their debut album “Pick It Up” in 2007 through indie label Nyaring Records, Malaysia. Their extraordinary success in Malaysia, where they sold over 1000 copies, and had a full page interview feature in premier music magazine ROTTW, was a testament to their abilities as musicians as well as their hard work in achieving this through their own marketing and distribution. This was followed by the “Mimpi” EP in 2013, the title track of which aired on Ria89.7FM as Track of the Week the same week of release, receiving steady airplay throughout the period. They were also interviewed for a radio segment “SG Akustik Live”, hosted by DJ Aura Shai, and performed their music live on air.
