nagfront na kami  sa kanila twice.. isa tlga sila sa inspirasyon ko gmawa ng kanta..

[higad]

ako nung una. walang paki sa kanila, nung lumabas yung mariposa.. sabi ng kaibigan ko

kaibigan: bry alam mo yung bandang sugarfree?
bry gwapings na pakyut: oo yata, yung kumanta nung mariposa?
kaibigan na mukhang aso: oo, magaling ba yun?
bry na kmukha yata ni brad pitt: ewan parang normal lang yata..

makalipas ang ilang buwan, bumili ako ng album na sa wakas kasabay ng pagbili ko ng playing in the fields (barbie's cradle) tsaka ko lang nagustuhan sugarfree. solid na sulit at sobrang ok pa ng live performance ng sugarfree.

ok lahat ng songs. kaso yung huli, mejo hindi na ganun kaingay e. sobra sa drama. pero ayos lang. dala naman ni ebe eh. 

teka, yung mga names, jokes lang yan ah.. baka isipin nyo makapal ako. hehe.

[xavier]

ang masasabi ko.... magaling! magaling!

may parang kulang pero kung nakita na yung nawawala, kaya nilang talagang sumikat. yung as in sikat. 

[ishimaro]

aus lang.. hehe gusto ko ung mga tugtog nila.. gusto ko ung pagka mellow ng tugtog nila.

sugarfree for me is one band i know who struggled to reach their position now.

i got to watch sugarfree during their starting years. pero trio na sila nun. they actually started out as a quintet. the first line-up was ebe, jal, rico blanco, and 2 guys from session road. the guys from session road left and mitch singson came into place. then rico left and yun trio na sila.

during those years i got to watch them, they actually got a deal with viva. however sa wakas was delayed and delayed until they decided to cut ties with them and were taken in by emi. thats one reason they named their first album sa wakas because of the delays in releasing the actual product.

[jiu-jitsu brasileiro]

great band. i like their songwriting. their songs can instantly make you hum along, wich for me is an instant sign that the song is a good one. 

[bugoy]

anong ginagawa ni rico blanco dun dati ? paborito ko yung burn out

[nogi]

sya un isang guitarista sir..

[xavier]

napagkamalan ko rin silang e-heads nun sa radio. bata pa ako nun eh. wahaha  burn out din yung kanta

[skunkyfunk]

They made the same album three times. 

[BassCog]

They made the same album three times. 

Ebe's songs are a bit autobiographical. whether he likes it or not, he creates a narrative/thematic progression.  "Made the same album three times" is a wonderfully wrong generalization. Perhaps a bit more listening is in order, and if you don't like it, well, it's not music you like in general.

[Jim Ayson]

I agree that SkunkyFunk is way off the mark in that blanket generalization. Robin Rivera played a big role in getting Ebe's creative juices flowing for the project. Here's Robin's blog on the making of the third album:

I think all producers should blog.

i'd say that they made their own sound or trademark sound

I hear you sir, but I'm rather interested in the tonal aspect of the albums.  I mean, it's almost predictable to hear the clean tone and/or crunch tone on the guitars for the verses, and hit a bit more gain in the choruses.  Of course Ebe's field of experience has grown so I expect a lot of new themes in the new material.  But then again I'm a lot more interested to hear them do more palabok to their arrangements.

And what's wrong with making the same album 3 times?  AC/DC did the same album 10 times (or did they say 13 times)?

i like theyre songs....kahit i-avoid mo...tatatak talaga sa utak mo...

same with sandwich and rivermaya songs...i really dont like them....pero nakaka-LSS ...kaya ayun napapabili din ako ng album. hehehe

[inigo]

i like theyre songs....kahit i-avoid mo...tatatak talaga sa utak mo...

Yeah. Parang Boom Tarat Tarat. Sugarfree makes some great hooks. Minsan yung buong song, isang collection of hooks. I don't mean sabit ha.

[James_Animagi]

kung sa galing ang pag-uusapan magaling talaga sila ebe & jal talaga kakaiba gumawa ng mga songs alam mo na may sarili silang trademark para sakin i dont mind if people hate them or love them ang alam ko i can appreciate their music kasi hindi madali gumawa ng songs na meron sariling trademark mo sana mag tagal pa sila 

[pr3ach2all]

i like sugarfree... catchy ung songs nila, ganda ng lyrics, tapos ang galing kumanta ni ebe live or in the albums, walang sabit... 

[Kels]

oks na oks ang sugar free .. kahit sa live ok sila ..

parang ang sarap maka relate sa mga kanta nila ..

swak din ung mga kanta nila ..

di lang catchy parang totoong totoo ung kanta .. hehehehe ..

[xiver]

una ko talagang nagustuhang kanta sa kanila, burn out at mariposa e.. then yung 2nd album dun ako mas nahook. yung cuida sobrang madrama.

nung lumabas yung "kung ayaw mo na sa akin", iniisip ko parang di ko trip. pero nakaka-LSS pa rin e! hahaha! 

[IncX]

sugrafree is a good band... not necessarily the thing id always go back and listen to, but definitely you'll catch me singing and humming to their songs...

who cares about their "formula?" ... everybody is bound to have one... listen to Vital Remains and Deicide (just as an example) ... there are certain types of music that has to have a formula.

the only bands with no formulas or psychedelic formulas are bands that seem more like an art project than a real band (example, early Marilyn Manson) ... as for the Beatles... yes they were great and we owed them a great deal, but the only reason, they were allowed to be schizophrenic with their style is because at that time, music wasnt as well distributed and a lot of things were new... besides, they had an awesome producer.

[makibalbastro]

they like to think that they're the next Rivermaya, eh silang tatlo wala pa sa kalinkingan ni Nathan. Kung ang ()'s eh era ng Eheads, ang 2000 ay era ang matatabang "rockers' like Ebe for example. Inupakan na namen yan nuon eh tsake si Jao Mapa. Tanong mo si Jao di nya makakalimutan yun

i hear alot of negative feedback from unknown artists under viva records AND film. garapal daw sila. he he

HA HA! they made the same album 13 times with THREE CHORDS!

if you're looking for progression, razorback 

that's if you can find all the albums!

[sumalinog]

3 lang sila pero tunog 5 ang tumutugtog!! galing sa lyrics,areglo at live, ito ang banda na dapat tularan!!
