Bamboo: The Come Back with No Water No Moon

#bamboomusiclive - Good music never ends and one great artist never stops.

Just one spin of the most anticipated album in OPM rock this year, “No Water, No Moon," Bamboo Mañalac's first solo release under PolyEast Records, and it's clear there is life beyond his career as frontman. Teamed with the top musicians in the record industry, he presents his musical visions, saying in an interview,

“Nothing’s changed. It’s the same pressure that I’ve always put on myself. Whether in a band or going out on my own, or whatever I do. Just wanting to push, claw and climb.”

In a way, Mañalac has gone back to his jazz roots while heading toward to what he’s known for—mainstream pop rock genre. Featuring the first single “Questions,” Mañalac said,

“I felt this was a good intro to the album because it has a lot of colors and instrumentation that we have in the album in just one song. The song is personal but I thought it spoke of human experience.”

The first single will be released in radio stations on Sept. 22, 2011 at 10 a.m. via simultaneous airing nationwide.

Bamboo, who produced and wrote most of the songs, has been in the US for final mastering of the album. He has also been doing special performances there in order to showcase the new songs with the album meant for an international release.

Bamboo will be back in the Philippines after the tour in time for the album release. Album release date and debut video will be announced later this month.

Here's a shot during Bamboo & Gloc 9's Toronto leg of their North American tour - September 25, 2011 Live at The Opera House. Due to schedule conflicts, the crew were unable to finish the complete interview with Bamboo and Gloc 9.

New Album Radiosurgery from New Found Glory

Radiosurgery is the seventh studio album by American rock band New Found Glory. It is scheduled for release on October 4, 2011 through independent label Epitaph Records. To follow up Not Without a Fight (2009), the band began writing new material during their stint on the 2010 Honda Civic Tour. After self-producing a set of demos and contacting long-term record producer Neal Avron, the quintet went on to record the album in Avron's home recording studio over a period of three months in 2011. The band set out to write an album that paid homage to classic punk rock records that first inspired them to form a band during the 1990s. Listening extensively to the likes of early Green Day, Ramones, and Rancid, New Found Glory strove to create a sound that could "bridge the gap" between old and new generations of the genre.



The album title is a metaphor, referencing the actual medical procedure radiosurgery. The lyrics were directly inspired by events in the bands personal lives, after one member suffered a long-term relationship breakup. The album was written about the different stages an individual goes through after the separation, including feelings of regret, sadness, insanity and events such as one night stands. The band looked up several brain surgeries, later settling on Radiosurgery, using the idea that instead of using the procedure to remove a tumor from the brain, you could remove memories. The first official single from the album was title track "Radiosurgery", released on August 2.

1. "Radiosurgery" - 2:55

Sponge Cola is on the go with Araw Oras Tagpuan

One of today's hottest bands Sponge Cola releases its much awaited and highly anticipated 4th full-length, studio album under Universal Records titled "Araw Oras Tagpuan." It should be noted that this is Sponge Cola’s first full-length album since it released its self-titled CD in 2008. The band made up of Yael Yuzon (vocals-guitar), Gosh Dilay(bass), Erwin Armovit (lead guitar) and Ted Mark Cruz(drums) on Wednesday, September 14, 2011.

"Yung sa title ng album, we were thinking parang eventually lumabas yung Araw, Oras Tagpuan parang may swagger siya na parang time, date, place and I'll be there,"
Yael Yuzon, band's frontman, said in a press conference.

Yuzon said that their album showed their honesty when it comes to music.

"Araw Oras Tagpuan" is band's first CD with their new drummer Tedmark Cruz.



"Araw Oras Tagpuan" contains 12 tracks including songs from the band’s “Tambay” mini-album released early this year via Coca-Cola’s summer promo. Some of the songs included in “Araw Oras Tagpuan” are “Tambay” – an original song written by the band’s front-man Yael Yuzon – which scorched the charts on MYX and various radio stations ,and was the only OPM song on Magic 89.9’s countdown for several weeks; “Regal” which is the CD’s current carrier single; “Walang Wakas” which was also the theme song of ABS-CBN’s series Wansapanatym: Rod Santiago’s Buhawi Jack starring Gerald Anderson; an upcoming single titled “Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay”; “Araw Oras Tagpuan”; “Warning” which features new drummer Ted Mark Cruz on vocals; and “New Steel” featuring Salamin vocalist Paolo Valenciano, Ria Redulla, and Los Magno of Out of Body Special.

Majority of the songs in "Araw Oras Tagpuan" are written by Yael Yuzon and it should be noted that this is the band’s first full-length studio recording with new drummer Ted Mark Cruz. "Araw Oras Tagpuan" is an innovative album that blends fresh ideas by incorporating piano as performed by Yael Yuzon, drum loops, and synths while retaining the trademark sound of Sponge Cola which endeared the band to its loyal fans and music aficionados as well!

"Araw Oras Tagpuan" will be released in all leading record bars nationwide this September.

TRACKLIST:
1.Tambay
2. Stargazer
3. Regal
4. Ok Dito
5. She Weeps
6. Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay
7.She Wants You To
