Embracing Gunfire
The music that Embracing Gunfire produces serves as a thin line between the sound of creativity
and the harmony of camaraderie.
A few years back, lead vocalist Seth Estacio and lead guitarist Francis Balderama met halfway to do
acoustic sets in local bars, hoping that they would be noticed by the people whom they wrote the
songs for. Along the course of their musical march, the two decided to add an additional guitarist
(Martin Gacrama) to further expand their diversity and arrangements. The band was known as
Pepper Mouth back then, and manifests songs about celebrating humane emotions every now and
then. After a little while, the band agreed on getting a drummer, currently being held by Dan Torres,
making them a fullset band. Martin left, and they tapped Peter Carillo to play bass for them. They
changed the band name to Selling Side Mirrors from then on.
The band got active, played as much gigs a possible, got television guestings, and got involved in
big events such as Fete dela Musique, until the band decided to split their ways due to other
priorities. Seth Estacio pursued a career in another band Plane Divides the Sky, Francis Balderama
focused on his studies, Dan Torres played drums for Danita and Rachelle Ann Go, and Peter Carillo
went to the US to learn hiphop culture.
Until Paolo Ruiz, currently plays Bass for the band, got acquainted with Seth. They learned about
their common denominator with their musicality and the possibility of reviving the lost, but not
dead, band. A couple of weeks after, the two decided to give it another shot. They tapped some old
members, Francis and Dan, and agreed upon one thing to keep their musicality alive, and to not let
go of it anymore.
Ever since, nothing can stop Embracing Gunfire from writing their own tunes and conveying them
to the people who are ready to lend an ear. The band, currently comprised of Seth Estacio, Francis
Balderama, Dan Torres and Paolo Ruiz, have their guns pointed towards a common goal to
penetrate the world of music, only with the strong belief in their tunes as their armor.
