•I’ve personally witnessed the musical evolution of your band. You started out on a more punk feeling (ala dead ends), then you added another guitar to do a more NYHC style, then now you shift to a more heavier hardcore with a good mix of metal. So, after these musical style changes, would you say that this is the sound that you were looking for?

- Honestly, we are not looking for any particular sound, we appreciate music and how it is created. Some bands wanna sound like their foreign influences or just any particular band so that the kids may relate to their music. We respect that but for us, we choose to be us. Every member has their own different influences ranging from punk to metal, thrash to hardcore and even indie to grunge. We create music through the contribution of different individual talents. Mix them all together and sky is the limit. Not to mention, changes in the bands line-up had a great effect on the evolution. On our first show at Bustos, Bulacan, we played as a 3-piece grinding hardcore punk with Archie on drums and Pack on bass while I play guitars and sing. After that, I was replaced by Archie on vocals while I play the drums. Imagine how we tried to exchange places just to find the lineup that is most comfortable for us. Our first official band name is "bass vergel". ____________________________________________________

•if we can’t find peace in silence, do you have any idea where we could find it? Does it also mean that silence is, misleading us to fake peace?

- You can find peace by searching to the deeper meaning of life. You will find peace by expressing your freedom regardless of the risks. Standing up for what you believe in. That will break the chains of silence from your heart. Peace is Nirvana. To understand why we are here. You will find peace by not pretending to be someone else and just be who you really are. Being true to yourself keeps the honesty in your soul. Letting go of all the things bothering us. To unsubsribe from the temporary. A peaceful mind guided by a peaceful heart is a life of happiness despite of all the mess this world feeds us. Silence is not peace. The silent screams from the millions of Jews killed during the holocaust is not peace. The silent cries of the Tutsi people murdered during the Rwandan genocide is not peace. The silence of hundreds of activists missing and dying during Ferdinand Marcos' regime under Martial Law, we cannot call that peace. ________________________________________________________
