Bands here in the Philippines are widely known. Bands are very important in the music industry. Independent bands are highly appreciated by a lot of people but the known local bands are quite famous indeed. I can name a lot of bands in the Philippines like, Urbandub, Up Dharma Down, 6Cycle Mind, Cueshe', Slapshock, Sandwhich, Pupil, Rivermaya, Delara, Akosikat, Bamboo, Parokya ni Edgar and many more. A lot of bands were formed during the past decade because before, there were only a few of them.
Whew, I am glad that i have heard a lot of bands because not only they continuously made songs that are pleasing to the ears but also they have a very good meaning. Most of the topics that they wrote are about feelings on love and attitude towards nationalism. I am glad that they explored a lot of themes for their sound. I am pretty sure that they are attempting to create new stuff because they know that there are already expanding number of listeners nowadays.
One of the band that I like is Hale. Hale is first known for their first hit single "Broken Sonnet" that lead to their stardom here in the Philippines. Most of my high-school friends mocked them for the way Champ sings their songs in which it is like "Pilit" or wherein sings through his nostrils. But I guess, that is his style and that made him good and unique above the rest.
But in College, it was a different story. My classmates love him especially Clara who is a certified Hale Addict that he always go to their mall tours that their lead vocal and the rest of the band already know her. But she did not managed to go here and watch Hale..haha..
SO here are the pics of Hale from their recent mall tour!! Enjoy =))
