Grip! Stand! Throw!


Yesterday we received our balikbayan box tito and tita packed from the Philippines which contains old valuables stuffs like pictures, jewelry etc. this things is the things that we cannot bring during the time of our departure because of the NAIA rules which states that you can bring luggage in a certain weight, so in short this stuffs were excess. So I decided open it and check my things to see if it is complete, to my surprise I saw my old CD which I thought it was lost long time ago!

It was the first album Sandwich which then compose of Raymund Marasigan(guitar/vocs)Marc Abaya(guitar/vocs), Diego Catillo(lead guitar/vocs), Myrene Academia(bass/backup vocs), and Mike Dizon(drums). It was released when the time boy bands ruled the radio waves and the mainstream music scene. The album has a hit single Butterfly Carnival and Cheese Factor set to 9, which won NU Rock Awards based on my research hehehe!

So I decided to play it on my laptop and BOOM! flashbacks in my mind started to happen! Specially when i played my favorite song on the album like Di Sinasadya, Sakyan and Jetlag, Which has distinct strong guitar riffs, unlike latest album of sandwich which in my opinion SUCKS! well anyway if you want to have this album go to the nearest record bars and try to find it! don't waste your precious time this album is a classic! so i doubt it if the record bars still sell it. good luck! this is my highly recommended album if you like post punk music..
