How the band made
The band assemebled in the summer of 2008, the introduction of Alegre, Ibarra and Rodriguez at the United States Embassy in Manila spurred a series of musical and social interactions culminating in the recording sessions for "Humanfolk Suite", a world music cycle by Alegre performed alongside Alexander and Lopez. Towards October, 2008, the Humanfolk threesome of Alegre, Alexander and Lopez performed a live semi-improvised score for a short, silent film by Sasha Palomares, entitled "Une Femme Andalouse", which was awarded the KODAK Best 16mm Experimental Film in that year by the Kodak Filmschool Competition. They were subsequently invited to perform at the 4th Philippine International Jazz & Ethnic Arts Festival in February, 2009, and a live collaborative performance with the Australian didgeredoo virtuoso, William Barton in January, 2010, that also introduced vocalist-keyboardist Abby Clutario as a new principal member of the group. These high profile appearances and many others that followed were milestones leading to the release by MCA Music (Universal Music Group) of Humanfolk's eponymous album in May, 2011.

Prior to joining Hastang
Current guitarist Raul played lead guitars for Eve's Garden.
Current singer Ara sang for Dama de Noche.
About the band
Hastang was formed in February 2005 when Mark and Guile (remnants of the now-defunct indie rock act Squirrel Talk) began jamming with Tessa and Roy with the sole purpose of writing all-original material.
The band’s first big break came in May 2005 when they made it to the finals of the MTV Hits Cebu band showdown held at the SM City Cebu Parking Lot. With their hard rocking song Oblivion, Hastang went on to win second place over-all in the band competition. Since then, the band’s popularity in the indie scene increased as they made frequent appearances in music bars.
In 2006, the single Random began enjoying regular air play - even rising to the top 4 of a local station's weekly countdown.
Hastang also proved to be instrumental in reviving POST NO BILL, a series of gigs that showcases the best acts of the local music scene. Along with indie veterans Sheila and the Insects, Hastang has become a mainstay of this bi-monthly musical event held in various venues in Cebu.
Hastang has undergone some line-up changes in the last few years, notably in the addition of new singer Ara Chawdhury in 2009.

Journey over years
In late 2005, Hastang commenced the recording of their debut album, which contains 11 original tracks they’ve written and arranged in the last eight months. It was at this time that guitar player Raul (formerly of hard rock band Eve’s Garden) joined in to complete the dual-guitar format.
During this time, the band recorded 10 songs in Phoenix Glide Studios with the exception of Random, which was recorded earlier in the summer of 2005 at the same studio. The said song was later re-mastered with Guile doing minor bass guitar re-dubs.
In early 2006, after four months of studio tracking and mixing, the band wrapped up the recording of the album.

About the band
Hale is one of the most famous bands in the Philippines. They engage in Alternative Rock, OPM Acoustic, and Power Ballad but their name was taken from the dictionary. The band was composed of Champ Lui Pio, Roll Martinez, Sheldon Gellada and Omnie Saroca. Champ and Roll play the guitars and also in vocals while Sheldon and Omnie play the bass and the drum respectively.
They formed their band on July 2004. The band focuses on playing their originals instead of going indie. Hale signed with EMI Philippines with only less than half a year after the band was formed. It was on November. On May 2005, they released their first single, "Broken Sonnet" together with their self-titled album.
The band did not gain much attention until their second single "The Day You Said Goodnight" was released. The debut album reached to triple platinum with almost 90,000 copies was sold. It is surprising for an upstart band to achieve such recognition from aficionados with only "Coldplay" as their inspiration.
Kahit Pa and Kung Wala Ka were released late on 2005. Both singles managed the #1 spot in the charts of radio stations nationwide. At the end of year 2005, Hale is one of the most influential band in the Philippines. In MYX Hit Chart Year- End Countdown, The Day You Said Goodnight was #1, Kahit Pa was #7 and Kung Wala Ka was #17. Hale released their repackaged album on February of 2006 together with two new singles, Tollgate and Blue Sky. Blue Sky is the first ever music video without any instruments.
On September 30, 2006, Hale released their second album named Twilight under EMI Philippines containing their single, Waltz. Waltz has the most nominations for the advantage of early release than any other singles in the album. The single hit the #8 in Year 2006 MYX Hit Chart Year-End Countdown. The album reached its gold status less than a week after its release. Hale released 3 singles from the album Twilight, Hide and Seek, Shooting Star and The Ballad Of. On Year 2007 MYX Chart Year-End Countdown, Shooting Star earned the #12 position.
The goal of the band is to reach its listening crowd and make them understand the value of music and sincerity. It is in sincerity where Hale excels.

Greyhoundz - bio and songs
About the band
Greyhoundz is a Filipino band specializes in genres like Indie, Hardcore and Rap Metal. During the 90’s, they were considered as the meanest and heaviest band in the country, able to bridge Heavy Rock and Hip Hop- two norms in music which cannot go on together.
Greyhoundz is currently a four-some band, composed of Reg Rubio as the band’s vocalists, TJ Brillantes on drums, Audie Avenido on guitars and Niño Avenido on basss. Allen Cudal was once included in the list as guitarist however, he died on May 6, 2006 in a car accident.
History
The Avenido Cousins, Audie and Niño, formed the band Greyhoundz on 1997. The name was borrowed from the band of Audie’s father. Simply, like any other band, they just wanted to compete in a local battle of bands. The contest however, was cancelled, so they decided to audition at Club Dredd.
Everything during the late 90’s was influences mainly by foreign trends: food, fashion and even music, name it, it is simply stereotypical. They have met Reg who also played in a band at Club Dredd. The two recruited him and since then, they have been enjoying his presence.
As the decade faced a new horizon, the Philippine music scenery was totally blown by a single demo recording. The demo was heard in NU107’s In The Raw program. The single was named “Pigface” and the artist, Greyhoundz.
For those who heard the song were amazed for it was the first time in the airwaves that the kind of music was being played. The sound was referred as “new alternative” and its acceptance was unbelievable. The “New Metal” genre was conceived.
Being new in the industry, the band was best described as brave, bold and aggressive. The Pigface spread throughout the country and at last, the Pinoys have something to be proud of. As more and more fans were recognized, a solid and massive fanbase was created. This really took off when the band released its much-anticipated debut album.
The album was entitled 7 Corners Of Your Game, released on 1999 under Sony Music Philippines. Spawning the rawest and most powerful yet appealing songs, Greyhoundz proved their versatility in songwriting. The album includes hit singles like Mr.Pig, Leech and Party At 802. The album went on to its Platinum Status.
On 2001, another Sony Music Philippines’ recording was released. This self-titled album produced instant favourites as Jack In The Box, Hole and Your Puppet And Clown. Fans expected an equally good or a better album than the first, and they were right. In addition, encompassed in the Spider-Man movie music compilation .was one of the Greyhoundz’ song “Even” from the album, making them the first Asian artist to be included in this international project.
On mid 2005, Greyhoundz again released its third album dubbed as Apoy. The album was released under the label of EMI Philippines. With 13 tracks, the album boasts the presence of Francis Magalona, Gloc 9 and Otso Queso in “Koro”.
Despite the unexpected demise of a brother, Greyhoundz never did a time-out. Instead, all this they dedicated to the one above, who wants nothing than to do their best and be the best. They have played at numerous events, collaborated with the country’s famous acts and headlined some of the shows. From Luzon to Visayas to lower Mindanao, Greyhoundz toured them all.
Currently, with many rock bands sprouted as aggressive as Greyhoundz did before, but still, Greyhoundz stood up true and steadfast, fearless and ambitious. And the fans grew even bigger.

About the band
The Dawn was formed in 1985 by Teddy Diaz (vocals and guitars), JB Leonor (drums) and Clay Luna (bass). The band's name was derived from a portrait of the Holy Spirit that symbolized the dawn of a new day (probably found in a book given by the Sisters of the Holy Spirit to Teddy Diaz, as well as a crucifix which Teddy also received from the same sisterhood), called The Dawning of the Holy Spirit.Diaz, Leonor and Luna initially wanted a female vocalist; but in the course of their search, Jett Pangan auditioned and got the trio's unanimous nod. The quartet began performing in clubs and eventually recorded a demo of a song entitled "Enveloped Ideas," a copy of which they submitted to DWXB 102.7, a now-defunct Metro Manila–based FM radio station that played Alternative rock and New Wave music. It topped the radio station's charts in 1986, helping the group gain a cult following.[4] Heavily influenced by the New Wave genre of the 1980s, "Enveloped Ideas" is distinct for its introductory operatic vocals a la Klaus Nomi.
While The Dawn was in search of a major record label, Luna left the band to immigrate to the US. Carlos "Caloy" Balcells, bass player of another Filipino group, the Cicada Band, soon replaced him.

Their journey over years
In 1986, The Dawn signed with OctoArts International (now PolyEast Records Philippines) and, the next summer, released their eponymous debut album, which gained commercial success. Many critics felt that The Dawn would fill the void left behind by the Juan de la Cruz Band when their music slowly faded in the 1980s.
At the height of their popularity, and just weeks after the release of their second album I Stand With You, Teddy Diaz was stabbed to death in front of his girlfriend's house on August 21, 1988 by two men allegedly under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Despite the demise of Diaz, his influence is still felt among many guitarists today and he has become a legend among many Filipino musicians. The Dawn still considers Diaz to be the band's driving force to this day.
The band continued to play, at one time employing the services of a masked guitarist (nicknamed "Zorro" by some fans) in the absence of a permanent guitar player. Atsushi Matsuura, a Japanese guitarist who had earlier released a solo album in the Philippines under Ivory Records, took on lead guitar duties in January 1989. He was later replaced by Francis Reyes, former Afterimage guitarist, who was also a disc jockey at NU-107, a local alternative rock radio station. Reyes also happened to be Diaz's close friend. Classically trained session keyboardist Millette Saldajeno also joined the band in 1990 but was later replaced by Isidore Fernandez in 1992.

Datu's Tribe - Bio and Songs
About the band
Datu’s Tribe is Filipino band was formed on 1987 by several University of the Philippines- Los Baños students, Cabring, the Vesperas brothers, Dax Dacayan and Dos Pacio on drums and rhythm guitar respectively. They were created to compete during a campus band contest and they emerged as the winner.
Most of their early gigs focused only to UP-Los Baños school events. One of the most memorable events was when the band made an opening act for The Eraserheads on 1991. During the time, Dax and Dos left the band. Unwilling to settle, the band moved on as a quartet band, replacing Dax by Ian Cabanilla. As the line-up changed, their original music leaned towards New Wave and the line-up had a heavier influence among listeners.
With their small amount of money, the band decided to record a demo tape in the Audio Captain Recording Studio. They submitted the said demo to LA105 which a sudden anthem for local underground music. All songs gained airplays over radio but only the song,” Praning” launched the band into its recognition. The song captured the ears of the listeners and stayed for six weeks in LA’s Sunday countdown. Datu’s Tribe is now a hit band not only in Los Baños but also outside its territory.
The band members decided to move to Manila and try their luck in the city of progress. They auditioned of the newly-reopened Club Dredd. The club owner, Patrick Reidenbach was already interested after hearing the song, Praning and allowed them to play a gig. With the band’s impressive live performance, Patrick uttered no words and let the band remained as a regular performer for the club. The house was packed by slam-dancing kids whenever the band played.
By 1995, Datu’s Tribe still has no record deal even their songs were receiving massive airplays. Reidenbach decided to manage the band and signed them with Universal Records. At the time, the record label was known for churning out mainstream pop acts like Willy Garte and Jose Mari Chan.
The label agreed to take risk and recorded Datu’s Tribe’s debut album. They allowed Reidenbach produced the said album. Recorded at FX Studios, the album was entitled Galit Kami Sa Baboy and packed with eleven pure-originals.
All their songs were gaining steadfast airplays in all radio stations throughout the country though it lack of support from the label. After seven months since release, the album went on to Gold Status. As a result, the band performed several concerts and played gigs in clubs and cities all over the Philippines. Each performance was adrenaline-laced and audiences were hungry looking for a power rock band.
After few years, music scene waned and on 1997, the band decided to replace Ian with John. Cabring eventually hooked up with a bass player, Andre Umali. The latter asked Dax Padiernos to help looking for a new drummer for the group. After several try-outs, Datu’s Tribe settled down with Dax Padiernos on drums and Mark Noval was added later to the group.
The once hopeless band now revitalized and eventually landed into successful gigs. Due to Internet fansites, radio guestings and new generation of listeners and supporters, Datu’s Tribe now realized its dream.
A couple of thousands, blood, guts and gray matter forced into creative inspiration by liters of alcohol, they released their follow-up album of their debut album. The EP was named Fat Burner and released during April Fool’s Day. Many new songs have been written and performed; still Datu’s flawless trademark is ever present.
Dax Padiernos and Mark Noval eventually retired and Paolo Delarama is the new drummer. Current members are Eric Cabrera on vocals, Del Visperas on guitars, Andre Umali on bass and Paolo Delarama on drums.

How the band made
ChicoSci (previously Chico Science) was originally composed of Miguel "Miggy" Chavez, Paul Ivan "Bimboy" Nota,Symon "Monsci" Villato, Miguel "Mong" Alcaraz, Carlos "Calde" Calderon, Jan Kevin Santos and Joel Salvador from the Ateneo de Manila University. They later recruited guitarist Sonny Baquisal and long-time friend Eugene "Yug" Esquivias to solidify the songwriting process. The band won an inter school Battle of the Bands and spent the prize money recording a demo – an investment that landed them a two-album record deal with EMI Philippines. The band released the albums Revenge of the Giant Robot and Method of Breathing.
Their journey over years
Aalways trying out new things, the band continued to work on redefining their sound. Shifting their musical direction to a more melodic style, they sought Raimund Marasigan for guidance in working with their second album. True enough, both audiences and critics embraced the new sound of ChicoSci. Method Of Breathing included several hits such as Glass is Broken, Rolento, and the highly-infectious Paris. Interestingly, Paris holds the record for the most number of weeks a song (foreign or local) has stayed in a countdown. It stayed in the NU107 Midnight Countdown for more than 52 weeks and gave Chicosci the Song of the Year award at the 2002 NU 107 Rock Awards.
In 2004, the band released their third album, Icarus, under Viva Records. The band again enlisted the help of Marasigan, who brought along Buddy Zabala, to produce the band's most experimental album. In May 2004, the band gained media recognition by becoming MTV's Lokal Artist of the Month. The songs Theme from Conversation with Fire, Shallow Graves, and An Argument, enjoyed media airtime, also went into the NU 107 Midnight and Year-end Countdown.
On June 6, 2006, ChicoSci released and launched their self-titled 4th album. Having been in the studio for more than a year, the band boasts it as being their best work to date. The self-produced album features catchier melodies and more synth playing from Alcaraz. At the same time, there is minimal screaming and more focus on Chavez's singing, the most obvious change on the self titled album.
With the release of their carrier single A Promise, ChicoSci gained more popularity as their market grew. ChicoSci went on to play in Malaysia and Singapore as well as local hot spots like Cafe Saguijo. The album has spawned four singles, A Promise, Seven Black Roses, ChicoSci Vampire Social Club and Last Look. The music video for ChicoSci Vampire Social Club won the Favorite Rock Video at the 2008 Myx Music Awards. The band released their fifth studio album, Fly Black Hearts in 2009.

About the band
The Camerawalls is an indie pop band based in Manila, Philippines formed in 2007 by singer and guitarist
Clementine, the main songwriter of the band and formerly of Orange and Lemons.
From an indie status with a cult following back in 2003 to mainstream success and natiowide sensation in
2005 via a series of hit singles thru a major label, the news of Orange and Lemons breakup in 2007 resulted from the premature exit of Clementine from the music scene. Clementine immediately formed a new band on September 2007 under the name The Camerawalls. It showcased his songwriting prowess that manifested in his earlier works collaborating with old friends Law Santiago and Ian Sarabia.
To support The Camerawalls' releases and go as far as establishing full creative control and marketing
his own music, Clementine also founded Lilystars Records, an independent record label determined to
house the sensibility and aesthetics of indie pop music in the Philippines. On March 2008, The Camerawalls released a sample of their music with an unofficial single "Markers Of Beautiful Memories" over the internet and slowly gained attention and following and eventually picked up by radio. With the release of the debut album "Pocket Guide To The Otherworld" on July 3, 2008 and success of the single "Clinically Dead For 16 Hours," The Camerawalls became an example of a remarkable music production in true indie spirit.
"Pocket Guide To The Otherworld" has become a landmark release that showed people what happens when
contemporary indie pop meets good old Filipino sensibilities.

When Ely Buendia left the Eraserheads sometime in 2002, remaining members Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raimund Marasigan decided to continue as Eheads by adding singer-guitarist Kris Gorra (from the indie all-girl pop-punk band, Fatal Posporos and, later, Duster). After just a few months, Marcus Adoro left the group as well to pursue a passion for surfing and for his own musical endeavor, Markus Highway. Zabala, Marasigan and Gorra (later, Gorra-Dancel) decided to continue on, adding Ebe Dancel of Sugarfree and Diego Mapa (of Monsterbot and Pedicab); and thus becoming Cambio.
Cambio is well-known for having songs about Pinoy Pop Culture, such as DV (Divisoria, a commercial place in Manila which is popular for having affordable goods) and Call Center (a budding industry in the Philippines).

About the band
Barbie's Cradle was a Filipino alternative rock band, formed in 1998 by the remaining members of Barbie
Almalbis's previous band, Hungry Young Poets, and disbanded in 2005 when Almalbis took up a solo career.
The band released three albums, Barbie's Cradle, Music from the Buffet Table, and Playing in the Fields, the last two of which featured lyrics notable for their Christian-oriented content, brought about by personal changes in the life of songwriter Almalbis. Aside from Almalbis, members over the years included Rommel de la Cruz who played Bass throughout the band's existence; drummers Franklin Benitez and Wendell Garcia, who were part of the band before and after the release of Music from the Buffet Table, respectively, and Kakoi Legaspi, who took up a second guitar position just prior to the band's dissolution in 2005.

The first incarnation, called Hungry Young Poets started as a duo in 1997 by Barbie Almalbis (guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter) and Ricci Gurango (bassist). After releasing their only self-titled album, Franklin Benitez (drummer) would officially complete the trio.In 1998, Gurango left the band to lead cover band, Little Green Men,[1] before forming MOJOFLY. With Gurango's assertion of rights to the band's name, Almalbis and Benitez would later rename the group, Barbie's Cradle.
Their journey over years
The band's original lineup consisted of Barbie Almalbis on vocals and guitar, Franklin Benitez on drums, and Rommel De La Cruz on Bass. This was the lineup that performed at a Manila show by Sixpence None The
Richer and which recorded the song "Tabing Ilog" to serve as the title song for an afternoon soap opera
of the same name. Soon after, the band would release their Eponymous first album, Barbie's Cradle in late 1999. Drummer Franklin Benitez would leave the band before the release in 2000 of the band's second album, Music from the Buffet Table. Some of the tracks on that album were thus performed by Benitez, and some by Wendell Garcia. That album would be significant for introducing the Christian-themed lyrics that
would be Barbie's Cradle's trademark until its disbandment, and of Barbie Almalbis as a solo artist thereafter.
The highly successful trio of Almalbis, De La Cruz, and Garcia, with their now-distinctive spiritually influenced songs, released Playing in the Fields in 2003.In 2005, Rivermaya guitarist Kakoi Legaspi left that group to become part of Barbie's Cradle. Almalbis, however, decided to take up a solo career, which meant that no full Barbie's Cradle album would be made with the addition of Legaspi's guitar performance. The new Barbie's Cradle sound, with Legaspi's contribution, however, can be heard in the "Good Day" track which was released in Barbie: The Singles, a compilation album released in 2005 featuring songs by Hungry Young Poets, Barbie's Cradle, and Almalbis as a solo artist.
