Pinoy Rock

[ronluna 17]

Pinoy Rock, or Filipino Rock, is the brand of rock music produced in the Philippines or by Filipinos. It has become as diverse as the Rock music genre itself, and bands adopting this style are now further classified under more specific genres or combinations of genres like alternative rock, post-grunge, ethnic, new wave, pop rock, punk rock, funk, reggae, heavy metal and ska. Because these genres are generally considered to fall under the broad Rock music category, Filipino Rock may be more specifically defined as Rock music with Filipino cultural sensibilities.

The Juan Dela Cruz Band was one of the first rock and roll bands in the Philippines

I do ;D I've been listening to Eraserheads and Rivermaya since I was in Elementary School xD

Eraserheads is at par with Dir en grey in my frequently played playlists.

hm not much.

Only river maya, they're good, from one song but

i like them, at least from what they've been nominated on MTV asia awards. You'll be safe here, i think that's what the song's called.

other than that, i heard more pop like Christian Bautista, Maribeth, and Kyla

oh my chianti, you know some pop stuffs, and christian bautista too... ;D Btw that song you'll be safe here sucked IMO, i like Rico's song "yugto" and with rivermaya there's liwanag sa dilim and awit ng kabataan.

I heard the 'heads first way back in 1994 (or 1995?), when my aunt was still an alternative enthusiast and she got a hold of a bootlegged copy of Circus via tape trading. She played the tape so much while she was babysitting me that the songs stuck to my head. When we moved out I asked my mom for a copy of Circus, and eventually Cutterpillow and I have been addicted ever since These two albums defined the soundtrack of my elementary days

Same case with Rivermaya, my nieces gave me a major LSS in their album Trip.
