In late of 1998, a big explosion of talent and interest has happened at a lovely neighborhood near Alor Star. The pieces of the explosion fell on the big green grass field and suddenly mixed together on the same land becoming a music plant called “Tumbleweed of Greenland”. With the power of rock and the love of music, TOG started to rock the dull world from that day to spread their messages to all the peoples that would listen. The music is all about life, love and oxygen.
The sound and style of their music was much influenced by the moist music from several bands such as Silverchair, Weezer, The Cure, Oasis, Radiohead, The Juliana Theory, Stereophonics, Piebald, Spiral Kinetic Circus, Butterfingers and Salleh Yaacob. Instead of all influences, they still managed to keep their own originality and trademark as a band.
This band has smoothly transforms their selves from a growing grunge and punk childhood's band into more meaningful music lover's band with new attitudes and genre. Their music can be categorized as alternative rock with squeezes of emotional and pop elements.
After some revolution of line – up and music, now the band is carried out by Anuar as the lead guitarist and sub-vocalist, Azizul as the vocalist and guitarist, Yusri as the bassist and Anass as the drummer. Tumbleweed of Greenland also has involved in several compilation projects like Lust Minute Compilation (Stuck Music – 2001), Wait Semenet Compilation (Stuck Music – 2003) and From Seattle to KL vol. 2 (Speedrawk – 2004). They also have released their EP entitled The Hope & The Distance in late 2004.
Latest Update : TOG has released their new single titled "A Long Lasting Kiss : 2008 Single" on January 2008.
