Bio: To put it simply, Teak is the real deal. This Melbourne based rock band isn’t about glitz and glamour. They aren’t about bad haircuts and gaudy costumes. This is a rock band that in a world of fashionistas knows what matters most–the music!

Teak’s style has been affectionately described as “the ... See Full Bio

“Teak sounds like a band that should be headlining the Billboard charts. They are a triple threat of vocals, music, and production value. Their self-titled album is an explosion of auditory alternative rock goodness. This isn’t your one-hit-wonder type of band; they are the real deal. This is the type of album where every track is just as spectacular as the next. If you are tired of hearing teenagers with bad haircuts on the radio all the time, then give Teak a listen. Your ears will thank you. Review by Zack Daggy Rating: 4 stars (out of 5) ”

“Teak has the remarkable ability to mix genres and styles and make them work, and this is a prime reason why their music will easily appeal to a wide audience. Rating: 5 stars (out of 5)”

— Alexa Spieler, Review by Alexa Spieler

“They have managed to produce an album loaded with catchy tunes, accomplished musicianship and outstanding vocals. From the opening song “This Time” to the closer, “St. Cajetan” it’s a guidebook for how to make a radio friendly album without compromising any of the heart and soul of a rock band. This is the first album I have given 5 stars. The reason is that this is an album that will appeal to a wide audience, the genre is not specific, there are songs your mother will love and songs for the young and rebellious. To my ears, it’s perfect. 5/5 Stars”

“TEAK SOUNDS LIKE A BAND OUT OF TIME BUT IN A GOOD WAY. IT’S DEFINITELY ROCK BUT THERE’S ENOUGH POP SENSIBILITIES WITHIN THE GROOVES TO GET THE KIDS AND DIGITAL DOWN-LOADERS HAPPY. 4½ / 5 Stars”

— Paul Hadlington, The Rock Pit

"Teak's 11-track self-titled album, released in November 2010, ably meshes esoteric lyrics and memorable melodies with its guitar-infused signature. It’s no surprise that the band’s output has been tagged “thinking man’s rock.” Edgy chant-along “Something Blue” and Elvis Costello-meets-38 Special’s “Message” are so catchy that they’re begging for breakout status. Teak knows its strengths and plays to every one. Now it’s time for them to do the same for a national, if not global audience..

— Billboard Discoveries, Billboard Magazine

“Their combination of accessible tunes, and a strong rock feel, recently had teak voted in the top 10 unsigned find of 2009 on radio Triple M.”

— C.W. Ross Blog
