Music career

Sta. Rosa City, Laguna Philippines was home to New York style Hardcore bands since the early 90's. Brought up in a DIY community, the emotional punk outfit came together in 1999 and quickly began filling houses with their unique brand of aching sincerity and arresting melodies. Thanks to rampant buzz and devoted fan base, the band began touring outside their hometown and making their way in to the main cities of Manila and was soon on the rock radio airwaves all over Philippines. 2 years prior to that, they released their first debut CD - The Infatuation Is Always There. With their relentless DIY ethics, the band paved their path to be one of the most influential rock bands in Asia[1]. With the release of their 2nd studio album - Every Moss and Cobweb in 2007, the band swept the country by storm with their single - "Will You Ever Learn" which won Best Song of the Year at a prestigious annual Rock Award Show of NU107 FM.[2] Almost 10 years have passed since they've spearheaded this brand of musical genre with massively tight arrangements and soaring melodic passages. This success eventually led to the opportunity to open for US-based bands such as Thursday, Shadows Fall, Darkest Hour, etc.

Critical Reception

Being the No. 1 Top Artist in Myspace.com all over Asia[3], Typecast pioneered the uprising of the said community website and holds the most number of friends and fans in the said territory. Have always been mistaken as an American band because of the solid accent and diction through their songs which makes the band more interesting to everyone who would check them out. Explosive live performance that even Geoff Rickly (Thursday) said that the band reminds him of Explosions in the Sky in a much detailed perspective.

They've been reviewed as one of the Most Influential Rock bands in Asia according to Asia's Magmug.com, an online zine based in Singapore & Malaysia[4].
