Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Uncompromising hard-hitting music.Comprised of Gelo Lagasca (lead vocals/guitars), Lem Galleto (lead guitars/vocals), Edong Bareng (bass/back-up vocals) and Joseph Navalta (also of Hardboiledeggz on drums). They trace their roots from their hometown Baguio City, where they have been veterans of the small underground rock scene there. They initially formed in April 2007 with original drummer Pot Quiambao.After their respective bands disbanded, the band attempted to form a The Doors-inspired band, but they stumbled on new wave, and metal icons as musical influences. They got their band name after noting that all their rehearsal equipment were terribly low tech.The band manages to put their own stamp on their iconic influenced music by putting a heavy musical twist to their sound. They will be releasing their album "Anniversary of the Machinery" featuring cult hit "Chapters (Darkest Nights)" plus eleven other tracks produced by the band with Billy Reyes (of Stonefree and Gorgoro, whose production cerdits include Paramita's self-titled sophomore effort, etc). Other favorites to watch out for include "Annihilation," "Gloomchild," "Dying Sun" and "Tears of Fire," among others.
