Bored of the same music that has been playing in airwaves and music channels over and over again? Tired of melodious song that makes you drool? Well, an alternative rock band from the Philippines will make your day different and rocking! Whom am I talking about? It is no other than the band, Kamikazee.
Kamikazee’s songs had been featured for some time and knowing the members of the band and their newest album, Long Time Noisy will make us appreciate and fancy the music they are producing.
Kamikazee journey in Philippine music all started when the members met during their college days. Jay Contreras (lead vocalist), Jomal Linao (guitars/back-up vocals), Led Zeppelin Tuyay (guitars), Jason “Puto” Astete (bass) and Allan “Bords” Burdeos (drums) were all taking up Fine Arts in one of the Philippines prominent institution, the University of the Philippines. The band’s first choice of name is Kamikazee Cornflakes but they wanted to be easily remembered so they shortened their label to Kamikazee. The band’s name defines their philosophy which is pure passion and fearless music! The band’s premier album was self-titled and was released in 2002. Narda is so far the most notable single from the band which came from their sophomore album titled, Maharot (Unladylike) in 2006. It took three years for the Kamikazee to exculpate their fresh album, Long Time Noisy. With this album, you will find music that ranges from heartbreaking, to fun and light prankster music. Each word from the lyrics of their songs expresses rare creativity and unique wit and so ready yourself to be exhausted, exhilarated and be rock with Kamikazee’s Long Time Noisy.
Have you ever found yourself craving for a piece of story? Meron Akong Anich (I have…) is a tune that definitely for you. It is an original single from Francis Magalona, the late Philippine rapper. Kamikazee remake the song together with Chito Miranda of Parokya ni Edgar, another explosive rock band and Ian Tayao. The music became more catchy and louder with Kamikazee. Here it is…
If you have a tale and you wanted to share it with somebody who is not with you, you can use your cellular phone to spread it. Kamikazee’s Me na Me (Me of course Me!) is a song that the band shared with a cell phone commercial. The tune was used in a commercial to make it more saleable to the cell phone users and the good news was it became mobile purchasers’ favorite music! The video was simultaneous taken from Filipinos from Metro Manila, the country’s capital and Cebu.
You have news to your friend and you already told him that it is about a lady whom you find very hot. Kamikazee’s sound track, Hot Mami is a tune for you. In the Philippines, the title of the song has two connotations. If you hear the title, the first thing that will pop in your mind is a hot noodle because in the Philippines noodles are somehow called mami. However, the band song is about a hot woman one cannot resist. If you have found a hot girl well share this song with your friend!
