Junk November 2006"The Rebel Scum - lowly, humble creatures are we - were given some exposure in new music mag Junk's 2nd issue. Not only were we asked what our favourite essential hip hop albums are (i was going to list them here, but nah. go la buy/steal/photocopy the issue), we were ALSO included in JUNK 02, the magazine's monthly mix CD, compiled by Aging Youth Singapore's Willy Tan. The TRS song Willy settled on was Outside The Club (Defenders of The Universe). We thought no one heard that track when we posted it up online a couple of years ago, but Willy is a fan of it. cool points for him, and cool points for us for having a fan like him. cool overload." - WordsManifest



Cliq in Juice November 2006"Cliq got his well-deserved props in this month's issue of JUICE Magazine:

Cliq came out tops in the Malaysian DJ Battle 2006. He won first place in the Scratching and Overall Battle categories, and walked away with a kickass Rane mixer (they cost a lot) monitor headphones, and a shitload of street cred. Don't mess - he's a champion.

Congratulations, hanif!" - WordsManifest

KLUE April 2005"Adlin interviewed us at KL Sentral I think haha, thanks yo, and he found a very flattering way to describe our EP's sound as well (we agree in a blushing kind of way). Thanks to YZ for the hookup too." - hqa



Malay Mail March 2005
"After YZ hooked us up, Adly brought us up to his office and turned on his recorder. We had a long, dope chat with him about a lot of things. And we were surprised when all that turned out into a big ass two page article, this is probably the largest print press we've got. He has also continued to update Malay Mail readers including about the Bakdatang single. Props." - hqa
