Uncle Tom is a guitar oriented hard-edged power pop rock band that writes and plays melodic catchy sing-along type songs, but with highly intelligent lyrics, tons of attitude, and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. Some of the influences of the band are The Beatles, early Cheap Trick, the Sex Pistols, The Monkees, and Tom Petty. Uncle Tom was formed in Los Angeles in 1997 after the demise of an earlier band signed to Mojo Records called The Bogus Toms, and is lead by New York born vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Robert "Beast" Best, who also has a Master's Degree in clinical psychology. Along with Louie Shilling on drums, and Fling on bass and vocals, they released their debut CD late February 1999 on indie Fuse Records.

THERE’S A FOOL WHO LIVES ON A HILL IN A SUNNY CITY BY THE SEA AND THERE ARE OTHER FOOLS WHO LIVE ON THAT HILL AND WORK FOR OTHER COMPANIES NOW HE THINKS HE’S A WISE MAN WITH POISE AND RESPECTABILITY AND HE GRACES ALL THE BEST PARTIES WITH GRACELESS WOMEN THAT FIT HIM TO A TEE BUT HE WORRIES ABOUT HIS REPUTATION HE’S AFRAID HE’LL MAKE A BIG MISTAKE AND THE COMPANY WILL BANISH HIM FOREVER HE DOES NOTHING TO RISK... BURNIN’ AT THE STAKE! BURNIN’ AT THE STAKE! BURNIN’ AT THE STAKE! BURNIN’ AT THE STAKE! HE’S A SMALL MAN DOES NO ONE ANY GOOD KILLS THE MUSIC AND I WANT IT UNDERSTOOD ONE DAY I TALKED TO THE FOOL ON THE HILL IN A TOWER HIGH IN THE SKY WRAPPED IN GLASS AND STEEL MAKIN’ LOPSIDED DEALS HE TOLD STATISTICAL LIES WELL FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY AND FAME AND WHAT HIS FRIENDS THINK IS GREAT THE POLICY HERE IS THE FLAVOR OF THE YEAR HE DOES NOTHING TO RISK... BURNIN’ AT THE STAKE! HE’S A SMALL MAN DOES NO ONE ANY GOOD KILLS THE MUSIC AND I WANT IT UNDERSTOOD HE’S A SMALL MAN IN A POISONED INDUSTRY HIS MOUTH IS MOVIN’ AIN’T GOT A FUCKIN’ THING TO SAY YEAH I HEAR THE SAME THING EVERY DAY AND IT’S FUNNY HOW YOU SMILE WHEN YOU SAY I’M ONE IN A MILLION THE TOP OF MY CLASS AND KEEP ON SMILIN’ WHEN YOU KICK ME IN THE ASS
