Talk:Sudden Rush

Inconsistency of dates
Teves (2015) gives different dates from Akindes (2001) - 1994 instead of 1993 for their formation, 1998 instead of 1997 for the release of Ku'e. Since Discogs and AllMusic agree with Akindes about Ku'e, as does, I've gone with Akindes for the date of formation too. There's still an issue with Nation on the Rise. Teves gives 1994, AllMusic gives 1995. I've listed both for now, but confirmation would be good.

Teves also says they released their first three albums, up through Ea in 2002, "before their breakup in 2003. They later went on to release three studio albums, perform at the Nickelodeon 2002 Kids Choice Awards, and ...". That's inconsistent (2002 is later than 2003), and Harada (in the week of the performance) says they performed at the Teen Choice Awards, not the Kids Choice Awards. I've assumed these other three albums are in fact the original three. The breakup isn't quite clear either, but with more sources I'll try to clarify the timeline. In 2006 isn't really about them, but does say "Sudden Rush has evolved into a popular Hawaiian rap group without Leialoha", no indication of them being on hiatus.

 * After reading everything I can do, my understanding is that they didn't release new music between 2002 and 2018 but did continue to play together, perhaps occasionally, so there was a sense in which they broke up and another in which they didn't. I've tried to reflect that in the text and set the infobox timeline to 1993–present. Mortee (talk) 01:43, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, their own website says 1993 for Nation on the Rise, and listing 1993, 1994 and 1995 would be a little ridiculous. I've avoided stating a date in the main text and said "circa 1994" in the discography, with a reference for each possibility. Mortee (talk) 02:04, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Rob Onekea
Sources are inconsistent about if/when Onekea was a member of the group. Several talk about it as a trio, several as a quartet, and he's pictured on the album cover of Ea but not Nation on the Rise. Possibly he's always been in the group but primarily as a producer, so sources differ about how to describe that. That'd fit with and the fact that despite Onekea being in "the original quartet", they were a "trio" in 1997  Mortee (talk) 01:43, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
