Funkoars members are Mr Trials (Producer/MC), Uncle Sesta (Producer/MC), Sketchy Hons (MC) and DJ Reflux (DJ)
Funkoars were founded on the unique personalities of four individuals. These larger than life musicians were drawn to each other not just from a love of music, but their light hearted and jovial outlook on life.
It’s these personalities coupled with their prodigious talent that has brought Funkoars their success. The energetic and humorous nature of their lyrics is not something that can be emulated. While they may sometimes walk the thin line between disgusting and ludicrous, it's been this cutting edge mix that has brought their music so much attention.
The Oars’ achievements extend beyond their works as group. Trials is also a prolific producer, having crafted tracks for the likes of Hilltop Hoods, Cross Bred Mongrels, Vents and most recently Drapht‘s album Brothers Grimm. Both Vents and Drapht have had massive success with their respective Trials produced singles, 'Love Song' and 'Jimmy Recard', added to high rotation on Triple J.
Now one of the country's most sought after producers, Trials has his plate full for the immediate future with a new Vents album on the books and a side gig as a dispenser of no-nonsense advice in rhyme form in his regular column for Ralph magazine.
Not happy to rest on their past achievements or be pigeonholed by critics for their inimitable style, the Oars have evolved yet again and will bring a brand new sound to the table. The Hangover is poised to be the most talked about hip hop album from Australia in 2008, hands down.

(Funkoars)
You got it, drunkoars in the building
All the rest of these motherfuckers are doing it
So we are the world, shit
Hey, they don't want bad blood between us
Like two girls, either side, trying to fight for their rights to [?]
Run through [?]
And they babble on bullshit like you raising the bar
With the fuse lit, making a mark [?]
I got a tax check for two [?] got some diamonds and gold
I got a [?] lost my diamonds and gold
Trying to hold a steady job, get a career
I got better like naming it, breaking it, getting it clear
Yeah, seen hoppers that want a drop in a rap
Usually get unity [?]
[?] it ain't the haters making the music
It's the music making the haters try to do it, you knew it
And if you didn't know it, now you know my friends
Drunkoars are for the babies
Yep, it's like this
Baby, you got a masterpiece, yeah-yeah
Baby-baby, you got a masterpiece, yeah-yeah
Baby-baby, you got a masterpiece, masterpiece, masterpiece
And it means the world to me
Ay, yeah, my last shit was the next shit
Next shit'll be the best shit so suspect to exit
The game [?] blame the fame
For the reason [?] when they hear the name
But they screw up their face when I'm [?]
Wife readers for reason [?] rocking a demon
See me at my peak when I drink hard
Your happy hours of sex will see me on the floor by six past
The Funkoars invented that raw embedded with porn
Never met a competitor, means I've met 'em all
Forget it, we the owners
How's a bitch in a minute even seeing the man of the moment?
A lot of rappers are singing to sell
I just drop a lot of good shit like I'm eating well, you see your girl
Meet a girl [?] girl
Meet a girl, pass her up, huh, [?]
Baby, you got a masterpiece, yeah-yeah
Baby-baby, you got a masterpiece, yeah-yeah

And it means the world to me
Now, this verse a masterpiece, even before I start to speak
Like a split personality, you don't know the half of me
Skilled in the [?] started beef
[?] doors close like the passage through my arteries
Given this is my town and I'ma push it past the city limits
Funkoars, we the best no doubt
I'm raw like sex with a chick I hit [?] she be checked out
Don't want a track on my hot hits a crowd
Not a moshpit [?]
Yeah, we back with another hit record
But we never make the big time like Flava Flav's pendent
Turn my mic up, the drunkoars at the bar
Raise your cups if you drinking 'til the night's up
Your step daddy's back and still make a whore moan
We still got that raw flow so welcome to the 'oars show
Baby, you got a masterpiece, yeah-yeah
Baby-baby, you got a masterpiece, yeah-yeah
Baby-baby, you got a masterpiece, masterpiece, masterpiece
And it means the world to me
