Silent Sanctuary's sophomore effort

Silent Sanctuary has always been known for two things: releasing hit songs (remember “Ikaw Lamang”, “Ingat Ka”, “Kundiman”, and “Summer Song?”) and being unique for having a violinist and a cellist. Now, not only has the band released a new album that’s sure to contain more hits, they’ve also beefed up their string arrangements with help from one of the local music scene’s greats.

Composed of Sarkie Sarangay on vocals and guitars, Allen Calixto on drums, Chino David on violin, Anjo Inacay on cello, and latest addition Jason Rondero on bass, Silent Sanctuary has released their sophomore effort called “Mistaken For Granted.” Made up of 11 songs, including their first single “Hay Naku,” the very catchy “Pauwi Na Ako” and the heartbreaking “Hiling,” the album is called so because “We’ve grown past ‘Fuchsiang Pag-Ibig’. This album is our way of saying na we’re not all cute love songs,” Chino says.

“Compared to the first album, mas grown up ang ‘Mistaken For Granted’, from the song themes to the arrangements and even the process of making the album.” This maturity is apparent not only in the songs but also in the album’s inlay (designed by Wiji Lacsamana), chronicling the band’s growth through a mish-mash of pictures and scribbles.

While the first album “Fuchsiang Pag-Ibig” was produced by the band members themselves, “Mistaken For Granted” is produced by Buddy Zabala and Sancho Sanchez, with Buddy also providing additional string arrangements. Also, additional guitars were laid-in by Choko Abejo (of Conctrete Sam) on the track “Lalayo”.

Silent Sanctuary’s “Mistaken For Granted” (under Universal Records) is now available at your favorite record stores.

We want more Mayonnaise!

Mayonnaise has been one of our most favorite dressings ever. And the band Mayonnaise is our favorite when it comes to quirky song titles and LSS-inducing songs. They invaded MYXph.com to spread the word on their newest album, “Tersera” and all the buzz about their latest single and video

A lot had been asking about the song title Torres. Vocalist Monty explained to MYXph.com that it’s a tribute song for their former bassist Lee, who left the band to go to the US. Since they were also a song short in the making of their 3rd album, they decided to make one about her. And the band agrees she’s like the “tower” of the band. Plus, most of the songs are of Spanish influence. “Torres” really fit the album well.

When it was time for the video shoot, the band wanted real-life friends to portray the two female leads. Coincidentally, the video director is friends with Jessica and Erika, who also coincidentally are former MYX VJ Search finalists. The video’s concept was about leaving, so the trains fit well with the theme; shooting in the vicinity of the Metrorail Transit. With the all the buzz “Torres” are getting, it’s gaining airplay on radio and also on MYX!

Mayonnaise had a lot of fun chatting with all of you! One hour isn’t enough! Always make sure to catch their video on MYX! We’re sure there’s a lot more in store for Mayonnaise this year!

Hilera

Hilera, the rock trio who broke out into the scene in 2006 and their love for punk rock music were defined from their self-titled debut album with hit songs DEFINE and RHYME WITHOUT REASON. On their sophomore disc, the band addresses a handful of challenges as the new album draws a heavy influence from classic rock n’ roll with NUT HOUSE now released under PolyEast Records.

Hilera’s NUT HOUSE opens the first single RADICAL, which is now hitting the airwaves and debuted on NU 107.5. Led by their frontman, Chris Padilla shares, “Songwriting is an expression for me. I get influenced by things that affect my whole thinking, that's how we came up with songs for the album. Listening to other artists who inspire us and learning from people we look up to. Radical is about struggle. Struggle to think straight, struggle to control yourself.”

Hilera’s latest offer has an album title that probably gives a bit of curiosity. Going back to our music history, The Beatles referred Manila in 1966 as a “nut-house” quoting John Lennon’s famous line “We'll just never go to any nut-houses again.” But our band Hilera, as a huge fan of the fab four didn’t take this as negative statement from their rock heroes. As Bobby Padilla (drummer) explains. “To me it represents the country because nut houses are historical in the Philippines. So the listeners know that we are Filipinos.” Chris also added, “I'm a big fan of The Beatles, and I can't blame them if they thought about us that way, like savages. With "Nut House", being the title, I basically just wanted a statement that this silly piece of music came from a NUT HOUSE.”

Hilera had their debut with their self-titled album in 2006 and as for their sophomore disc released by Polyeast (EMI Philippines) they are back with their signature of young but dynamic rock collection of 16 new compositions that will pay homage to classic rock. “Nut House had taken lots of influences coming from different genres like rockabilly, swing, orchestral, garage, 50's, 60's etc,” Bobby shared.

Hilera is, and will always be about, change. That’s what this record was about. It took roughly one year to write and record with a greater challenge to be at least differentiating them to other rock bands nowadays. Hilera equipped their new album with different and wide range of sound and of moods, added different instruments like a brass section, piano, upright bass, harmonica and a banjo which contributed their adventure flowing from aggressive to subtle to orchestral. Ivan Garcia (bassist) saw it as, ”This album is different from the first one. With its new compositions, more instruments, more versatility, more diversity than the first one and most of the songs are played with an upright bass and I say that this is what we're looking for.”

The band’s effort payoff and came up with 16 songs that include the first single Radical, Stop The Fight, Not This Time, Ded Ded Ded, It’s A Crime, Another Face, No Lizard King, Murder, I’LL Get By, So Be It, Floating In A Freefall, Wala Akong Alam, Stop Looking AT Me, Protest, It All Ends and Doo Wop Pop. All songs were recorded at Hilera’s home studio which they named it Raw Chord. (Except track Ded, Ded, Ded)

Buy the album now and get Hilera’s very special album package where you can actually build your own nut house and rock the house with Hilera’s indelible hits after the other.

Hilera are Chris Padilla on vocals, Ivan Garcia on bass/upright bass and Bobby Padilla on drums. NUT HOUSE is their follow-up to their self titled album in 2006 and is now available in all record bars released under PolyEast Records. PolyEast Records is now the licensee of EMI Music International.
