They have launched four successful albums — "Sa Wakas" (2003), "Dramachine" (2004), the repackaged version of "Dramachine" (2006), "Tala-Arawan" (2006) produced by Robin Rivera, who also produced the Eraserheads, and "Sugarfree Live! with the Manila Symphony Orchestra" (2008) all under EMI Philippines. PROFILE The initial line up had Mitch Singson on drums. Singson sadly left the band in August of 2006 for personal reasons and Quisumbing immediately took place. THE BAND: Sugarfree is possibly the greatest of pop-alternative groups that arose in the late nineties. Their fire and brilliance has long outlasted their 10 year history and the four albums they produced are prized possessions of many music lovers. Blessed with the talents of three formidable musicians and songwriters all sharing an unerring knack for crafting infectious melodies, Sugarfree’s music possess a timeless feel and accessibility matched by a precious few. Though heavily influenced by the likes of Popsicle, Oasis and Radiohead, they sound very different from any of their heroes. Listeners tended to be more laid-back, prizing song craft and good vibes above visceral energy, and the others – especially the songwriters – created music for thoughtful contemplation and because of this, Sugarfree came up with albums suited for their market together with the country’s prime list of producers such as Angee Rozul for “Sa Wakas” (2003) Buddy Zabala and Raimund Marasigan (Members of the former band Eraserheads) for “Dramachine” (2004) and Sir Robin Rivera (also an album producer of the Eraserheads) for “Tala-Arawan” (2006) all under the label - EMI Philippines. Their albums brought us numerous hit songs that earned them various awards and citations under their belt. Sugarfree has worked with many local music legends in concerts and in recording and with various groups such as the Manila Symphony Orchestra during their sold-out first major concert at the Music Museum held last September 29, 2007 entitled “Sugarfree Live!” Though many new bands emerged during the glory of the scene, Sugarfree remained strong and visible and thus believed to stay in the business for a very long time. Their fan base grew bigger and the clamor for their music become greater bringing them endorsement deals and a beautiful partnership with Dencio’s, Head and Shoulders, San Miguel Beer, Alactagrow, Penshoppe and many more. Discography “Sa Wakas” (January, 2003) (Telepono, Mariposa, Burnout and Taguan) In a span of 11 minutes, the album “Sa Wakas” was reportedly sold out during the album launch at Freedom Bar. Sugarfree’s first single “Telepono” and the follow-up “Mariposa” became a staple at every pop-alternative stations in Manila and key provinces but it wasn’t long enough when they began to hit mainstream with everybody’s favorite song “Burnout.” The band which was then a sleeper band became one of the country’s popular and sought-after with the “Best New Artist” and ‘Album Of The Year” from that years’ NU Rock Awards and “Best Alternative Recording (Burnout”) and “Best Rock Recording (Mariposa”) from the Awit Awards in tow. “Dramachine” (July, 2004) (Sinta, Hari ng Sablay, Prom, Kwarto, Tulog Na, Makita Kang Muli) No drama. No sophomore jinx for this album because it earned the band their first platinum record award signifying over 30,000 copies of the album sold. “Dramachine” churned out hits like “Sinta,” “Prom,” “Tulog Na,” “Kwarto,” and the massive hit “Hari Ng Sablay.” Their songs ruled the airwaves and stayed in the top five of every music chart across the country for weeks. There was more demand for the band and the invitation for gigs in Manila and in other cities and provinces poured. EMI Philippines decided to release a re-packaged “Dramachine” album now bearing additional tracks such as “Cuida” and the anthemic “Makita Kang Muli,” a theme song of the top-rating teleserye “Panday.” The AVCD also featured the band’s music videos. The phenomenal success of this album made Sugarfree a household name. “Tala-Arawan” (November, 2006) (Kung Ayaw Mo Na Sa Akin, Dear Kuya, Wag Ka Ng Umiyak, Batang Bata Ka Pa, Nangangawit) This album introduced Kaka Quisumbing as the band’s new drummer. The album which when translated is [[“diary”]] in English, documents what Ebe and Jal have started and the joys and the struggles brought by important people in their lives. The first single “Kung Ayaw Mo Na Sa Akin” was launched simultaneously in more than 40 radio stations nationwide. The biggest simultaneous launch for a single in radio to date. Drawing style differences from their previous albums, Sugarfree again hit the mark of success as “Tala-Arawan” reached the gold record status in April of 2008. The third single “Wag Ka Ng Umiyak” became one of the group’s most successful singles hitting the number one spot on the MYX Hit chart for three non-consecutive weeks. August 2007 marked Sugarfree’s 8th anniversary and it was celebrated with grandeur. After many attempts, the band finally agreed to do their first major concert “Sugarfree Live!,” a party for their loyal supporters, held at the Music Museum. Sugarfree did their much-loved hits with a twist as they played beautiful music together with the Manila Symphony Orchestra. The sold-out concert was put together by the band’s manager Monch Bontogon and carefully selected creative team which was composed of Treb Monteras (director,) Shari Villa (lighting director) and Angee Rozul (live recording engineer.) The concert gave birth to the band’s first live album also entitled “Sugarfree Live!” A 2-disc album with their power set list collating their hits since 2003. The album also comes with a “Pugad Dencio’s” premium AVCD which includes the single “Pugad,” the Pugad Dencio’s jingles and behind the scenes footage of the video and the album launch.

Sandwich was founded in 1998 by Raimund Marasigan and Diego Castillo for the purpose of fulfilling their mutual desire to work together. Castillo recruited former band mates (from The Aga Muhlach Experience) Mike Dizon (of Teeth) to play drums and Myrene Academia to handle bass duties. Marasigan was a judge at a contest where Marc Abaya jammed to a Beastie Boys song with his band, Shirley Beans.

Although existing simultaneously with the Marasigan's foremost band at that time, Eraserheads, Sandwich provided a heavier, grittier sound, and built up their own fan base. Abaya was still in college at the time, and Marasigan would still tour occasionally with the Eraserheads, but these weren’t hindering factors for Sandwich, as there were many sessionists ready to take over in case of a member’s absence.

They signed with then-BMG Records, now known today as Sony-BMG Music, and released their debut album, Grip, Stand, Throw, with much success, thanks to its carrier single, "Butterfly Carnival."

The band won three awards at the 1999 NU 107 Rock Awards: Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and Song of the Year.

They released their second album, Four-Track Mind, in 2000; it was awarded Album of the Year at the Rock Awards in 2001.

Sandwich then parted ways with BMG Records and released their third album, Thanks To The Moon’s Gravitational Pull, in 2003. It was under distribution by EMI Records Philippines.

Abaya left Sandwich in 2005, in an effort to cope with the difficulty of juggling his job as an MTV VJ, and his obligations to his other band, Kjwan. Marasigan has since taken over sole vocal duties.

After Abaya’s departure, the band wrote songs for soundtracks, like "Humanda Ka," which was done for the online game, Tantra, and "Nginiig" for the ABS-CBN show of the same name.

Mong Alcaraz of Chicosci joined the band late 2005 to solidify Sandwich’s new sound and assume guitar duties Abaya left behind.

They released their latest album, Five On The Floor, in early 2006.

In late-October 2006, their songs "Sugod" and "DVDx" became available in the online music game O2Jam.

The video for "Sugod" won five major awards at the 2006 MTV Pilipinas Video Awards including Video of the Year, Best Director, and Best Editing.

Recently, Sandwich member Mong Alcaraz and Myrene Acamedia had won the best guitarist and best bassist in recent NU Rock Awards 2006 respectively.

Former members
Jerros Dolino Jed Honrado Urbandub is a Filipino experimental rock band from Cebu. They are one of the most critically-acclaimed bands in the country, and is now enjoying immense popularity around the Philippines. Hailing from the "Proud South" City of Cebu, Urbandub has represented their city all across the nation, and now has invaded other parts of Asia as well. Their second album Influence was considered by many music critics as their best album to date. The track "Soul Searching" was named "Song of the Year" in 2003 and Influence was awarded "Album of the Year" in 2004 by the NU 107 Rock Awards. Their most recent album, Under Southern Lights, was released in 2007 by EMI Music Philippines. Members: Gabby Alipe (Vocalist/Guitarist) Lalay Lim (Bassist/Vocals) JanJan Mendoza (Drummer) John Dinopol (Lead Guitarist/Vocals) Urbandub's career thus far has given much inspiration and support to upcoming acts, most of which fall under the Lighter Records stable. These include Faspitch, The Ambassadors, Still, Nuncyspungen (Cagayan de Oro), Nyctinasty and Point Click Kill (Iloilo). Each of them now aspire to take their own roads in music, paving their own way and modeling some of their steps after the success of Urbandub. The music of Urbandub is a fusion of various influences, and has evolved throughout their albums. Their debut album "Birth" is raw and heavy, with obvious influences of Deftones and other experimental rock bands. With their follow-up "Influence", they found their own sound with the maturity of Gabby Alipe's songwriting and the creative guitar riffs of John Dinopol. "Embrace", their third album which spawned their most successful hits such as "Alert The Armory", "First of Summer", and "Frailty" was a step forward to the band's already-complicated song arrangement mindset and experimentation, using samplers and synthesizers to further enhance their sound. And now with the release of their fourth album "Under Southern Lights", Urbandub has transcended their music to a whole new plane from patented Urbandub-sounding "An Invitation" and "Guillotine" to the more experimental sounds of "Life Is Easy" and "Inside The Mind of A Killer". Urbandub is considered by many critics as the band to sail across the world. Their one of a kind music; experimental, hard-rocking, and undefinable, has transcended their reputation as one the most respected bands in the Philippines.

A perfect example of what urbandub would have been--is the song "sailing" and "eating me" --that was the style we were suppose to be playing around with--since we were suppose to be a reggae/dub band, hence the name, urbandub. But 'cause of the series of line up changes--and new influences--we became what we are today! The name just kinda got stuck and we never bothered to change it. Soo there you go..the story behind the name "urbandub". [8] ” Urbandub's music video First of Summer is about a girl rebelliously going out with her boyfriend. The band later released Endless, A Silent Whisper which shows the events that happened before and after what was shown in First of Summer. Both videos were directed by Marie Jamora and were shot in 3 days. Urbandub was interviewed in Animax and later on performed in a show aired on animax called Mad Mad Fun. The mark on Gabby Alipe's right eye is a tatoo In their sophomore live performance on MYX, Gabby Alipe stated that the Urbandub way of making their album is to put exactly ten songs. For a short term of their name, they are labeled as "Udub", short for Urbandub. In one of their recent interviews, Urbandub is very thankful to their online fan base for the support of their "Dubista's". A recent website was created for the fan's of the band, urbandub.freeforums.org
