Funkoars
Funkoars is an Australian hip-hop act formed in 1999 in Adelaide, South Australia. The lineup consists of Daniel Rankine a.k.a. Trials (MC, producer), Adam Baker a.k.a. Sesta (MC), Matthew Honson a.k.a. Hons (MC), and Daniel Yates a.k.a. DJ Reflux (DJ).
The group is a member of the South Australian hip-hop collective Certified Wise, which features other prominent Adelaide-based artists such as Hilltop Hoods and Vents. These acts have frequently collaborated on various Funkoars recordings as well. The group have performed throughout Australia, supporting or playing alongside acts such as Hilltop Hoods, Milkbar Stars, Koolism, Def Wish Cast, Cross Bred Mongrels, Gang Starr, Apathy & Celph Titled, and Public Enemy.
Despite being on hiatus since 2016, Funkoars remain signed to the Golden Era Records label.
Originating from Adelaide, South Australia, Funkoars was formed in Adelaide in 1999, and consisted of MC and producer Daniel Rankine (a.k.a. Mr Trials or Trials), MCs Adam Baker (a.k.a. Uncle Sesta or simply Sesta) and Matthew Honson (a.k.a. Sketchy Hons or Hons), and DJ Daniel Yates (a.k.a. Reflux). According to Trials, a "Funkoar is the dreg of society. It is the funnel in which all morals and conscious are drained into the river Styx."
Funkoars' debut album, Who's Your Step Daddy, was released by Peepshow Entertainment in September 2003. Following its release Funkoars toured Australia extensively.
Funkoars released its second studio album, The Greatest Hits, in September 2006 on Obese Records, an Australian hip-hop label. The production on the second album is mostly credited to Sesta and Trials, both of whom have also produced for the Hilltop Hoods.[citation needed] The Greatest Hits featured guest appearances, such as the Hilltop Hoods ("What I Want"), Vents ("The Symphony") and Pegz ("Meet The Family").
Following the release of The Greatest Hits, Funkoars embarked on a national tour, between July 2006 and August 2006, supported by Awbs & Maundz and Cross Bred Mongrels. In 2007, Funkoars performed at the Adelaide Big Day Out, as well as the 2009 Big Day Out in Sydney, Australia.
In 2008, Funkoars left Obese Records and returned to the Peepshow label for the release of the third album, The Hangover. The album's first single "Black Sally", features samples from single, of the same name, by Human Instinct, a psych-rock band from New Zealand—Human Instinct's vocalist/drummer, Maurice Greer, appeared in the music video for the single.
