theRubberbands are a Penang based blues, pop, rock influenced band formed in 2011 by singer/song writer, Eric Liang, and vocalist/lead guitarist, Ruth Tan. They are joined by a rather shy bassist, Max Chin, and later, on drums,  Hazama (Momoru Iwasaki), Buudy Tan,  Shaun Lee, Bernard and lastly TengYi, Tan.

In, 2016, we’ve added Richard Leong on guitars, replacing Eric on guitars, while he focus on vocals.

With loud guitars and catchy grooves, theRubberbands delivers upbeat, energetic performances of their own materials from generic blues song, “Cina Blues” to a grunge influenced number like “Hypocrite”.

Part of the success of the band relies on their mutual respect and understanding of each other’s musicality as each member takes an active role in the song writing process. With their musically diverse background and tastes all adding to the creative mix, their songs emerge from their lengthy jam sessions, each unique and “rubbery”.
