symph

the band's name was derived from Switchfoot's ( Symph's major influence) vocalist -jon foreman's statement, where he made mention of the words "... someday you may please humanity...." thus, the band took the statement's acronym as a significant name worth living up to. after a not so amusing changes in the band's line-up of members, SYMPH emerged as a four-piece band with individually diverse backgrounds, points-of-view, ages, and personalities.the band is composed of people who have different outlooks and views in life. jeffrey regullano (lead guitars, back-up vocals) is also the guitarist of one of Nagas's finest bands by the name of Kamia. he is also a writer for the Ateneo de Naga's School Publication "Pillars." Robert John G. Dolorical (Bass) is a Digital Animation Student of the Ateneo de Naga University and is also the lead guitarist of the old-school punk band named "The Combatants." Ely Navarrete (drummer, percussionist) is a Developmental Communications in Ateneo de Naga University. He is also one of the percussionists of Naga City's up and coming rockstars named, "Black Gulaman." as for the last member, Duke Thomas G. Dolorical, who also happened to be the brother of the bassist..... well, no need to mention. joke. an alumni of the Ateneo de Naga University and is currrently enrolled in the school's graduate school taking up a masters degree in public administration.the band is realistic in terms of priorities and views in life and at the same time romantic about how they want to be remembered as one of the bands who have helped shape Naga City's Rock Scene. the band would not compromise studies when made to choose between the latter and gigs. the band wants to make sense in every song it writes. to be at least, honest. to at least deviate from being preachy and condescending...thus, the band settled for minimal usage of sound and focused on the depth of the messages they deliver in every song they create. the band hopes to live up to the name they were christened with for as long as they can, for as long as music is still with their individual beings, for as long as they live...... for as long as they think they can. no fake promises....... no false dreams...... only one passion. music. peace and music now.
