Who among you guys haven’t heard of ‘em?
For starters they belong to Rock / Alternative Genres and most likely, those who doesn’t feel like listening to rock music isn’t that familiar with then.

I started hearing them I guess, 4 or 5 years ago and found their music amusing and so powerful. At first for aspiring musicians, we didn’t easily understand the meaning of the lyrics that they’re trying to imprint in our memories and in our hearts. We just found their music a great motivation for our dreams to gain strength. We started downloading their songs, playing them in some computer cafes and even sharing them with some of our friends. (Unfortunately, none of us were able to buy their album) If I remembered it correctly and if what I’ve read was right, the last album that they release was “Memento Mori”.
Articles say that they didn’t claim to be a Christian band but it felt like they were, specially because of the lyrics of the songs they wrote. Another thing was that, when they combined “You are my Joy” with “From the inside out”. It was such a great piece and if I could make a request, I’d definitely want that song to be in their next album. Every part of their work was meaningful and even though there are some parts where the verse of the song was just repeated, I never felt that it was! Instead, I get the feeling that they were carving every thought, every meaning of the song to my heart and head for me to be able to understand what they are really trying to say.
They did make a difference in my life through their music and I want to thank them for that. Hopefully sooner or later, they could perform here in the Philippines.
