Pure, straight and right in your face. The band hasn’t been secretive about the fact that they’ve always aspired for the American music market.
It all started about ten years ago, when Roni Weinstock swapped her drums for a guitar and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed while singing. Three years later the Feel About line-up was comprised of five musicians and another two years from then they started to pick up awards in various countries around the world. Why should they, it’s obvious in their music. It sounds like a retrospection on the ye
ars after Grunge, but seen from a slightly different angle. Their music is not as absolute and less worried about posing. Instead Feel About have Weinstock’s remarkable voice. She sounds much angrier than some of her male colleagues, and that’s brilliant. With the previous release of their debut album “Point of You”, they have been embraced by the alternative Israeli media and started to make their mark internationally, as touring the U.S., Europe and Israel, which was supported by dedicated fans from all over the world. The group's second album will be out soon, with production credits by members Guy Fisher and Nitzan Eisenberg, as well as producer Yotam Ben-Horin, "Useless ID" lead singer-songwriter. History

“Where modern hard rock is wont to abusing soft/hard song structures, sterile guitar work, and mediocre vocals, FeelAbout is a reminder of why the genre was worth listening to in the first place.” (Sputnik Music, Aug 2010)
“FeelAbouT can best be considered Israel’s female-fronted Nirvana, but they are much more than that.” (Blogs N’ Roses, Jun 2010)
“FeelAbouT is one of the most successful Israeli bands in the world today, who already performed on the stage at the 17th Los Angeles Music Awards, who won the title clip of the year at “Ourstage” web site for two years in a row, achieved over 10,0000 ring tones downloads in the USA and Canada and of course performed at the latest Bombamela festival. Their musical tune is rough American Rock, full of distortions and screams given by Roni Weinstock the band’s singer, who wrote all the lyrics in the album and wrote the music with Guy Fisher along with the production of Eyal Leon Kazav.” (NRG, Jun 2010)
The band ”FeelAbout”, with the singer Roni Weinstock, gave last night a few great moments of satisfaction to the Israeli metal and rock scene, with energy explosion on the stage and the crowd, who responded with “head banging”. The explosive echoes were well noticed in the “Sublime” club and all around. This is how you debut a new album. For some time expectations are rising considering”FeelAbout”. Honorable titles like “Best Rock Band of the year” at the 17th Los Angeles Music Awards, or the first band to play on I-Phone and 10,000 Ring tones downloaded from Canada and the US, gave a healthy appetite for a lot of fans, who came last night to bring together “Point of You” – the firstborn album of this Tel-Aviv band. For an hour and a quarter the singer Roni Weinstock, Guy Fisher, Dror Rosmati, Eldar Cohen and Liron Arel made the crowd jump, excited and moved, but mainly did a lot of happy noise. (Mako, May 2010)
“Seems like the couple of phrases “FeelAbout” and “first place” just sticks together. Not long ago vocalist Roni Weinstock told us about their first place winning at the L.A music awards about 2 years ago, and this week the band captured another first place, this time at the music site ourstage.” (Mako, April 2010)
“It’s not difficult to hear why these guys and girls are fresh off a major win, taking home the Los Angeles Music Award for ‘Best Rock Band of the Year’! If you dig the great, rhythmic rock sounds of bands like Wolfmother, this one is simply gonna floor ya!” (MyXer.com, Jan 2009)
“Roni Weinstock, her voice is as powerful a rock vocalist as we’ve heard and, even with the compression that is used liberally to coral it in, we can hear the makings of a metal throated monster.” (earBuzz, Apr 2008)
“one Israeli band seems to have what it takes, and audiences as far away as Los Angeles recognize it. FeelAbouT, an alternative, underground grunge rock group that has been quietly plugging away in Tel Aviv, recently won the “Best Rock Group” Award.” (Jerusalem Post, Dec 2007)
