"[7] In March 2014, Sesta explained that at the time of the band's formation, notions of fame or success were not a significant factor in the creative process, and "that's what gave the local scene such a strong foundation.
Sesta further explained that artists at the time were driven by a love of hip hop culture, unconcerned by market trends, and they "enjoyed the process of making the songs" most of all.
[11] Following the release of The Greatest Hits, Funkoars embarked on a national tour, between July 2006 and August 2006, supported by Awbs & Maundz and Cross Bred Mongrels.
[8] Sesta described the song as "six heavy, sweat-dripping pockets of nervous energy, tightly duct-taped together, and pressed really hard onto wax"[8] In May 2016, the band released the single, "Mad As Hell".
Trials has also undertaken production for other Australian hip hop recordings, such as Vents' Hard to Kill,[26] a remix of the Hilltop Hoods single, "Clown Prince",[27] and Drapht's albums, Brothers Grimm[28] and Life of Riley.
In relation to Life of Riley, reviewer, Shane Scott, proclaimed, "If you don't recognise Trials as one of Australia's finest producers by now you are a sleeping motherfucker, but in the end it's you who loses.
