As A Whole,Cuerdas show review...



After a long day of work, it was time to jump start the tour of Davao City's As A Whole. I met them somewhere in SM Megamall along with Led and Danj. People were everywhere so it was hard for us to get a ride to the venue. When we finally arrived, the crowd was already outside the venue patiently waiting for the show to begin.

The show was started by some fellows called JUST IN CASE which played a very short set after talking bout some issues. RUSH IxDx went up next and we played a fast set. Hopefully, the demo will be finished before BYSTORM leaves for Davao and Cebu City next week so we can bring some to them. It's always fun playing with this band.

SISTER BASTARD played next minus their vox so their guitarist left his guitar duties and assumed the vocal roles. This band is getting better and better. Infest-styled hardcore that we all love. They played songs off their two demos. Awesome sht.

BYSTORM played after them and this show will serve as a kick-off to our southern tour next week. The set was tiring and I was pretty much spent after our set. We played 'Tenement' which we usually don't play live.Cool.

Bulacan thrash heavyweights PLAY were up next and were fast and awesome as usual. They played a bunch of new songs which I can't wait to hear on record.

AS A WHOLE from Davao City were up next. Their songs has a variedsound to it, mixing fast thrashy stuff with slowed down 'moshy' beats. They even did a Trial cover to boot. They played a nice set last night and I can't wait to hear them rip it up in front of their home crowd.

After AAW set, I spent most of the time outside but I still managed to hear great sets from KILL RATIO (epic, melodic crust..), NOISE CONSPIRACY PROJECT and THE BEAUTY OF DOUBT who played new songs off their upcoming record. This will also be their last show for a long time because Ronald is about to leave for work.

It was a great night fir hardcore and hanging out. To those who failed to check out AAW last night, make sure to go to their shows in Laguna and Cavite.
