Llamado O Dehado? Panalo Quadrado!
.
Llamado o dehado? Which band would you pick in a battle to represent you? I’d go for Quadrado. Who says Battle of the Band competitions are lame? Battle of the bands are oftentimes seen as cheap and easy ways for undeserving bands to gain recognition. Sometimes it’s also a way for overly qualified bands (especially…

Toad River – No Croakin’, Just Flowin’
.
There’s no denying that Toad River is powered by one man: Martin. He is the band as much as the band is what truly defines him as a person. The long list of musicians waiting to share the stage with him is proof of Toad River’s star power. When you see Toad River on the gig poster, you know it’s going to…

I’d Storm The Gates Of Hell With Die Glocke As My Soundtrack
.
The first time I saw Die Glocke was a moment of shock and awe. They came in, all four towering over everyone else like they were about to slaughter everyone in sight. Modern day Vikings came to mind. They took the stage and within seconds pummeled our ears into oblivion. Their music the perfect soundtrack to storm…

Anna Maria – A Band Gone Too Soon
.
Anna Maria will be sorely missed. One of the worst things about covering the underground scene is how quickly bands break up or disappear. Most reasons are petty. Small disputes, relationships & the lack of discipline are common reasons why. And then there are some reasons that are way too big to ignore. Reasons like…

Induce – This Band Saves Lives
.
The first time I saw Induce was at a Pete’s Point gig. They kicked ass. I became a fan immediately right after. Not a lot of people know this but watching Induce play could save your life. Literally. You see, the axe brothers, Carlos and Glenn are true blue paramedics so don’t be afraid to get too excited when you watch this band…

Out Of This World Music From Project Satellite
.
How would you best define Project Satellite’s music? You can’t. It’s dark & moody. The music is heavy and yet the lyrics, light. Like beautiful poems intertwined with the crashing of thunder & heavy things. It is definitely metal & yet you see Chokie’s manic dancing onstage. Rhys Vargas is arguably one of the best frontmen in the local scene, captivating…

Tamad Si Juan – This Band Ain’t Lazy At All
.
I admit, I’m a big fan of the band Tamad Si Juan. What’s funny is: the anecdotal stories of Juan’s laziness that’s part & parcel of our Filipino culture doesn’t seem to reflect the work ethic of this band. The band Tamad Si Juan seems hell-bent on proving that they’re the complete opposite of that preconceived notion…

AcidRadius – My New Band. Goodbye AcidRadio
.
I’m starting a new chapter in my life as a musician and I’m excited. I’m finally in the right mood to start making songs and actually doing something about them. It’s not like I haven’t been making songs over the years, it’s just that none have really stuck around long enough for me to want…
