Extreme Measures is one of UConn's premier A Cappella groups. They were formed in 2004 by Andre Santiago and Tim Russell, a couple of guys with a love for music. Though they are a relatively young group, they will blow your socks off with their vocal power! ExM prides themselves with an expansive taste for music, ranging from Country to Hip-Hop. They even enjoy classical music. Book us for your next event!

Generation EX
We are very pleased to have finished the recording of our latest album "Generation Ex" with DioVoce Inc.
We are honored to have been given the opportunity to get this album reviewed on the Mouth Off! podcast - Check out the 8/7/11 episode of Mouth Off! on iTunes They said that some of the tracks were "very effective and stand up really well against some of the better collegiate stuff that's out there" |
Quotes from a few different articles from UConn's Newspaper (The Daily Campus) about ExM:
"I was so impressed by Extreme Measures...it was phenomenal. Every single solo was on point and powerful. It was a great performance."
"Of the groups that performed, I have to say that Extreme Measures had the strongest showing. The Measures sang a rendition of the summer hit "Shark in the Water" by V.V. Brown, which was enjoyable even though I heard it before when they opened for the Penn Masala concert. But the group simply blew me away with the number "Home." This single, by Marc Broussard, did not make it big in 2005, despite the fact that it contains a perfect mix of blues, jazz, funk and country music. The soloist from EXM killed his part with his powerful voice and the background vocals were supportive, yet muted enough that all of the attention was on the soloist. Co‐ed a cappella groups generally have a difficult time balancing parts, but this group has all the right pieces in all the right places."
