Semi-Toned is a British all-male A cappella group from the University of Exeter, in the United Kingdom who sing a variety of modern and classic songs. They were formed in October 2010 originally as a barbershop quintet, before establishing themselves as a twelve-man contemporary group with a wide range of repertoire. They competed for the first time in The Voice Festival UK in 2012, winning both "Outstanding Arrangement" and "Outstanding Vocal Percussion". In 2013 the group won the South West regional where they were awarded "Outstanding Stagecraft and Choreography" and, once more, "Outstanding Vocal Percussion", before advancing to the London semi-final.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=University Results from the 2015 Competition )〕 Semi-Toned made their Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut in 2013 with their show, "The Exe-Men", which was extremely successful, resulting in a five-star (review ). In 2014, the group reached the final of The Voice Festival UK and won awards for "Outstanding Arrangement" for their mash-up of "Dear Darlin'" by Olly Murs and "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)" by Ylvis, "Outstanding Overall Performance" and "Outstanding Soloist" for Michael Luya in "Motion Picture Soundtrack" by Radiohead.〔 They then continued their Edinburgh Festival Fringe success with 2014's "Toned Up!" which saw a second five-star review from Broadway Baby and a prestigious "Bobby" Award, the group becoming the first University ensemble and first A cappella group to achieve this. In September the group recorded its first self-titled 5 track (EP ) with (The Vocal Company ), featuring covers of John Newman, Daft Punk, Paolo Nutini, Kanye West, Jay Z and Radiohead. In January 2015 for the first time, Semi-Toned competed in the Semi-Finals of the ICCA's in London, finishing in second place overall, whilst winning "Outstanding Choreography".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Results - Page 3 - 2015 ICCA Midwest Quarterfinal 1 )〕 In April, Semi-Toned won The Voice Festival UK as well as "Outstanding Overall Performance".〔 Soon after they embarked on their first tour of the East Coast of the United States, visiting and performing with groups from Colombia, NYU, Princeton, Yale and North Eastern Colleges. This August, Semi-Toned performed for the third year running at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with their show "(Game of Tones )".
