Welcome!!!

The word 'welcome' here means two things, the new year and for the latest addition to my family. Welcome Tommy!!! He looks a lot like my first born Dylan, but probably darker (redder, hehe).

Below are the pictures of Dylan and Tommy days after they were born. Let's see if you can spot the difference.

On the other hand, the CD I'm gonna post is Deviated Instinct's Welcome to the Orgy EP. It's the only one with the word 'welcome' in the title, (So feckin' lame, hehe) since Welcome to 1984 comp was already posted somewhere.

Deviated Instinct - Welcome to the Orgy EP

In case you haven't figure it out yet, Dylan's on the right while Tommy's on the left.

Welcome 2008 and most especially...

Welcome Tommy!!!

I like cover versions. I mean, I like them because it let me see more of the band, who they like, what sort of music they actually listen to other than their own genre. It gives me an insight of what’s going on within the band. Case in point: Celtic Frost’s doing Mexican Radio. Who would have thought that those guys listen to Wall of Voodoo, let alone cover one of their songs. Don’t get me wrong, I love Celtic Frost, but the thought of covering Mexican Radio is totally mind blowing/boggling. I personally don’t like Mexican Radio, even the Celtic Frost’s cover. But the thing is, with that cover, I caught a glimpse of the other side of Celtic Frost. I though these guys are the heaviest, meanest dudes in town, and with that cover, I saw the other part, the not so dark part.

Another stunner was Carcass’ version of A Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill. In this case, I like both bands. But the thing is, it surprised me to know that Carcass listens to Husker Du, being the lords of grind and all. (Unfortunately, they went death and eventually dead).

While going to the other side of the fence, they contend that if a band covers a song, they should make it a spectacular or make it their own, not just a true-blue cover.

Well, I kind of agree to that. But, if you’re just gonna do a ska version of an 80’s song, forget it. That’s where I draw the line. I fucking HATE ska versions, I’d rather listen to a true-blue cover. At least, they are actually paying homage to the originals. And to tell you honestly, true-blue covers are not that bad. I read in the liner notes of Anthrax’s Attack of the Killer B’s that they wanted, for a long time to have their own version of Protest and Survive. And so they did it. It’s not best cover but at least they let the whole world know that they liked the Discharge. And introduced Discharge to the rest of the world (I knew guys who didn’t know the Discharge prior to that cover)

Which brings me to why my ranting ‘bout cover versions. I’ve prepared a compilation of cover songs and their original versions for my 50th post. It contains, among others, one of my favorite cover songs of all time – Extreme Noise Terror’s cover of I’m a Bloody Fool! The original song was already awesome but ENT added their signature dual vocals attack to it. I can still remember when I first got my ENT’s Peel Sessions CD, it ruled my player for weeks.

I had fun doing it, I hope have fun listening to it.

Have a Peaceful New Year!!!

Third World Chaos

And for my tenth and final post for the day, the first ever Pinoi punk record, the classic New Move for Error by Third World Chaos. One of the members of Chaos (as we call them) was the owner of TRC label, Tommy Tanchangco. Their music is more of a 77 punk than hardcore. This is piece of history here.

Today's post, all ten of them!, are all Filipino bands. I hope you will learn more about our humble country, the Philippines, and our kick ass scene here. These posts is just one way of saying Merry Christmas to all of you!!! Enjoy!

Third World Chaos - New Move for Error

Fatal Response

This is the second release from TRC, a compilation called Fatal Response. The first release was Rescue Ladders and Human Barricades which I posted at Slobo's Only In It for the Music ages ago, but I'm sure that the link was dead. But fortunately, my good friend at My Fate to Hate posted it recently. So if you're interested in the Rescue Ladders click here.


There are lots of killer songs here from GI & the Idiots and the WUDS.

Fatal Response

RDA - Brave United in Trust

RDA, in my opinion, is the most dangerous band in the land. That's literally speaking. Their vocalist, Ollie, is a very violatile man. Lot's of people stir clear away from this guy when he's performing or whenever he's there because you won't know what would happen. Musically, their sound is a rather chaotic hardcore, very akin with their vocalist. Lol. Anyways, I love this band and this record. So download it now and enjoy!

RDA - Brave United in Trust

Live at Katrina's

As the name implies, this is the live recording from the legendary punk club here in Manila named Katrina's. This club actually allowed slam dancing as long as there's a "referee. "

This is an absolute classic. It includes performances from Betrayed, the WUDS, GI & the Idiots and the Rockabilly band Private Stock.

Katrin'a Live "Tamana Away!"

3rd Bombardment

This is a one of the best compilations from TRC. This comp includes, Betrayed, IOV, Philippine Violators and RDA. This comp includes my all time favorite Pinoi song - Never Again!

3rd Bombardment

WUDS - ARMSTALK

The Wuds were among the first -- and most influential -- punk rock bands in the Philippines. In the early '80s, punk bands began to form in the Philippines as economic woes and political unrest started to fuel a burgeoning underground scene. The Wuds, along with Third World Chaos, the Philippine Violators, the Betrayed, and the Dead Ends, roared their amps in a country once dominated by easy listening artists. Not surprisingly, there was little mainstream acceptance. Radio airplay was limited to Howlin' Dave's punk rock show on Manila radio station DZRJ. However, the Wuds and their peers found loyal support from the small independent label Twisted Red Cross and exposure through the Brave New World concerts. Given that rock audiences in the Philippines were divided between hippies and punks, violence was not uncommon; nevertheless, the Wuds were actually devout Krishna's, quite different from the public stereotyping of punk rockers as immoral troublemakers. Throughout the '80s, the Wuds remained outside of mass acceptance. In the early '90s, though, Manila underwent an alternative rock revolution and the Wuds were lauded as pioneers, especially by the popular punk group the Youth. The Wuds -- featuring Bobby Balingit (vocals, lead guitar), Alfred Guevara (vocals, rhythm guitar), and Allen Calixto (drums) -- released a long-waited debut album, At Nakalimutan Ang Diyos (And God Was Forgotten), in 1994. Raw and uncompromising, At Nakalimutan Ang Diyos solidified the Wuds' status as one of the Philippines' true punk rock bands. Two years later, the group recorded Gera (War), an intense record with powerful social and political commentary à la the Clash. The anti-war track "Ang Umibig Sa 'Yo" ("One Who Loved You") became a hit on Philippine alternative radio stations. In 1997, the Wuds released Nakaupo Sa Puso (Sitting on the Heart). By refusing to soften or polish their sound to appeal to a larger market, the Wuds continued their reign as the Philippines' most respected veteran rock outfit. ~ Michael Sutton, All Music Guide

10 of Another Kind

Here's another Pinoi compilation from the 80's. This is the all new wave/post punk bands which includes Dean's December, Under Blue Skies, Ethnic Faces, Introvoys and my personal favorite - Violent playground. Each band contributed two songs for this comp. Must have.

10 of Another Kind

Dean's December "Chemical Wedding"

This next post is one of my favorite Pinoi bands. Eventhough it's not punk, this band realy knows how to rock. It's just sad that the cover of their cassette only release was already in bad shape that I wasn't able to scan it. Here's some info of the band from All Music Guide.

Dean's December only recorded one album, but their significance to Filipino rock & roll music transcends the quantity of their work. Formed in Manila, Philippines, on Nov. 5, 1985, Dean's December quickly established themselves within Manila's burgeoning underground music scene. Leader Binky Lampano (vocals) was a DJ at Manila's defunct, legendary new wave radio station DWXB, calling himself "Ikabod" and defiantly working without a play list. Not coincidentally, Dean's December resembled some of the artists Lampano played, namely the moody psychedelia of the Church and the atmospheric guitars and sullen keyboards of the Cure. Dean's December's only album, Chemical Wedding, was released independently in 1986. The anthemic "It Doesn't Snow in Manila" became a cult hit, but Dean's December struggled to land gigs. Nevertheless, the band helped to pioneer alternative rock in the Philippines as they absorbed European influences while retaining their Filipino roots. At a time when many mainstream Filipino artists performed torch songs on TV, Dean's December were among the groups that pioneered intelligent, cutting-edge rock & roll in the Philippines. Dean's December contributed a track to the 10 of Another Kind compilation in the early '90s, but lack of commercial success made the band grind to a halt. In 1992, Lampano rediscovered his passion for blues, forming the blues outfit the Newly Industrialized Combo. The N.I.C. was placed on hiatus when Lampano moved to the U.S. Lampano rejoined the N.I.C. when he returned to the Philippines in the mid-'90s; the group changed its name to Lampano Alley, backing Lampano on his blues album I Heard the News. ~ Michael Sutton, All Music Guide


Dean's December - Chemical Wedding

Never Forget the Cause

The second post for the day is another compilation. It's alerady 90's compilation of mainly hardcore and some crossovers. Anyways, I don't any information or cover for this release, all I know is that it's a kick ass compilation. Grab it now!

Never Forget the Cause

Philippines: Where Do We Go From Here?

This is, I think, the last release of the legendary Philippine label - TRC (Twisted Red Cross). Aside from hardcore, it also featured crossover/thrash bands like Discant X and Infernal Wrath and and Oi! band Distorted Minds.
