Vocalist QT Paduano - Nadela, drummer Renmin Nadela, veteran bassist Hank
Palenzuela and guitarist Jephthah Wenceslao are still as unwavering and
uncompromising as ever with their brand of alternative/punk, especially due to
the band?s ceaseless acceptance of and constant fight for change: the ultimate
equalizer for adversity, be it musical or something deeper and/or of a broader
spectrum. Always open for reinvention and adaptation, the four-piece revisits
their roots in simple yet effective material that is both easily palatable and
sharply intellectual, doused with entertaining humor and mordant wit: the fine
balance between recklessness and awareness that made memorable foreign acts like
The Clash and The Sex Pistols the legends that they are. And with the advent of
Mantra, the band is ready to proudly raise the local banner and charge head-on
with whatever the times have to throw at them?for this is one band that isn?t as
easily fazed or disheartened.
