3. Black Gulaman

VoC and Typecast have been around for ages. never heard of black gulaman though.

[astroboi]

Matagal na ba sila? pero cguro ngayon nlang sila naging mainstream.. hehe!

Galing ng VoC and typecast.. Rakrakan tlaga!

Ung Black Gulaman, finalist sila sa muziklaban '05 and they're good.. They're actually my friends.. gusto ko tlaga music nila...

valley of chrome has released a few EPs before releasing their first album, Love and Devotion. Kim used to play drums for VoC but eventually left prior to recording the said album.

typecast has released two albums so far: Last Time and The Infatuation is Always There.

i've never really been impressed with the bands who've participated in muziklaban (with the exception of comet's tale). but heck, i'll give black gulaman a go. got any mp3s by them?

[astroboi]

i have VoC's album but i don't have typecast's album.. think i need to seach more at the record bars to have one....

im gonna post the link for their demos very soon.. hingi lang ako demo nila...

sodajerk's been around for ages too. that was ryan and dale's project prior to forming apple orchard. never heard of A Life Spent Learning though. could you share some info about the band?

badburn's not exactly indie..but yeah,...they're ok.

[mona_lisa]

updharma down - sobrang trip ko. i saw them live, it was breathtaking!

[emil_murillo]

Paramita!...............

[Red_Strat]

Medyo gasgas na ang Orange & Lemons. Pero definitely, binabalik nila ang past sa modern times ngayon. Sila lang ata naririnig ko on radio na ganun ang tunog.
Even if they have the issue about the "Pinoy Ako" song...I have to commend how good they are when it comes to songwriting. Lahat ng singles nila sumisikat, even that new Sunsilk jingle...

And yes..Paramita is a unique band. I love the idea of a drummer-vocalist.

hello, i don't mind that you like orange & lemons but i'd just like to point out that there's loooaaads of bands that do that whole mixing past music with modern music thing.

"popular" does not mean "good".

Parang yung "'Tong kantang 'tong kay tsong kay tsang" ni ogie alcasid..................na nag top 1 sa LSFM noong 90's.............

I must agree magaling si ogie with regards to his songwriting capabilities............Kaso this "'Tong kantang 'tong kay tsong kay tsang"..................."ain't that good!"   ............Honorary puwede.......

Pera-perahan lang 'yan..............may pera ka.............sikat kanta mo............sikat ka............

I remember Dodong cruz (former vocalist of The Youth) given a "Gold Record Award" by Mr. Lavinia at Eat Bulaga................way back 90's.

Then guys from Paragon Records told me..............."Kung 'di pa nag basag ng bote ng beer sa canteen si Dodong (because of a promise that was never given to him or he ever long for), hindi niya makukuha yung award.................

Because it is a marketing strategy....................
e.g. --> "Uy nag Gold Record Award daw yung album ni Dodong Cruz.......Bili tayo, mukhang maganda"

Ibig sabihin sa real score yung Gold Record Award ni Idol Dodong...........Is just an "imaginary"............."Bait"..............."Paen lang"..............."Strategy".................To make you buy the album.

I am not saying that every Record Awards are all imaginary................
You have your instincts and discretions to know if things are real or not...............There is no harm in believing with what you hear or saw but just try out a little bit enthusiasm to discover the truth.

Cencia na sa OT:...........By the way "if you will observe the MTV of Paramita................You will find that the Fills that she made with that loads of cymbals...............compare to the real song..............are not applicable..............You won't hear lots of cymbals........just toms and snares...........

But I like the pretty vocalist anyways............

[Red_Strat]

O nga noh...
Samantalang hindi ako drummer, di ko napansin until you brought it up.

I don't get the concept of the music video though...
What's the connection of the song with the guy in a mask? Tapos may bleeding nose etc. pa...

Honga sir!......................hindi ko din makuha...................or baka di pa natin masyadong natututukan...............maybe may meaning kahit papaano....................

I'll try to observe it harder next time para makuha ko ang meaning.........         .................

It's really easy to glaze over the mediocre bands nowadays. I don't even want to call them bands eh. Kasi alam ko pag banda ka, it's either you're a cover band or one that does originals, not rehashing songs and passing them off as originals.

Radioactive Sago Project: now here's a band. Original and very fresh to the ears. A new sound that most kiddos weaned on PopTrash can't grasp.

I heard this one band singing this Tagalog song that had an impromptu speech near the coda. Dammit! Ubos oras. Sayang lang pera mo pag binili mo ang album ng mga retards na yun.

[Red_Strat]

Hmmm...impromptu speech?

Maybe tinutukoy mo yung "Lagi Mo Na Lang Akong Dinededma" by Rocksteddy.

"Mahal kita, pero di mo lang alam.." The song goes like that.
Wala pa naman yatang album ang Rocksteddy, kaya kung sila nga, nothing to worry about...yet.

Is that it?  

UPDATE: Just saw the album of Rocksteddy today. Kung sila nga, there's one thing CD to check out para uminit ulo mo. Pero ako, okay lang sakin. Kakatuwa naman yung kanta eh.

valley of chrome has released a few EPs before releasing their first album, Love and Devotion. Kim used to play drums for VoC but eventually left prior to recording the said album.

any idea why kim left? i have to say VOC, Typecast, , bronman revival and 18th Issue even if they've been around for a while. most people are just discovering them eh. and up dharma down, paramita.

[free]

her reasons for her departure is unknown to me. i don't think the publicized it. though i think the new kid's a better drummer, having a female drummer did have its benefits for VoC (ie. added wow/cool-factor for the band).

the neighbors, one of the best bands you've never even heard-of. they've been around for a while and have released two albums to date. one of the best ska acts in the country atm!

18th issue, err..sorry to the fans of the band, but i seriously think this band is overrated (not like you care, but i also believe that urban dub is overrated). sure, the whole band's a bunch of virtuosos who were probably trained to play since they were in their mothers' wombs, they really are good players. but just like perf de castro, they should probably just teach guitar and not bother to write songs, not collectively anyway. the stuff that i've heard by them is so rock-cliche'. their stuff would probably sound good to most ears but to mine, they are dull and boring. i lost my interest in the muziklaban BOB's since they won it.

[riffscreamer]

Speaking of Typecast, may nakarinig na ba sa inyo nito:

Wala lang. Astig lang kasi.
