FACT CHECK: BLASTER Edition! 🎸 4 Things To Know

1. "O Kay Ganda" was actually inspired by BLASTER's pandemic walks around the neighborhood, but he reimagined it as journeying through outer space instead! The lyrics focus on describing the stunning beauty of the universe and celebrating cosmic wonder. The official music video was directed by Raliug and inspired by the movie "Everything Everywhere All At Once". The multiverse themes of the movie perfectly aligned with BLASTER's exploration of cosmic themes and celebration of freedom in the song. 🌌

2. DID YOU KNOW: BLASTER has done production work for R&B artist Dia Mate on her summer tune "Dream"? This collaboration happened during his IV Of Spades days and showcases his versatility beyond just rock - working across genres from his indie rock background to smooth R&B production! He's also jammed with other notable artists like Ebe Dancel and Hilera's Chris Padilla, proving his collaborative spirit and musical range even before going solo. ✨

3. BLASTER's single "Nararararamdaman" got its title from the rhythm of the song - about paranoia, FOMO, and not doing what you love! The track has a deceptively simple approach that's both playful and beautiful, showcasing his refined guitar and bass work with minimal instrumentation. This creative approach of letting the song's rhythm dictate its title shows his unique songwriting process as a solo artist, where he loves to explore more personal and experimental approaches to music-making. 💭

4.DID YOU KNOW: He has dreams of collaborating with Japanese artists internationally, particularly L'Arc-en-Ciel's Hyde (Takarai Hideto)? His love for Japanese music runs deep - he's been passionate about Japanese culture since childhood and regularly listens to J-music. But his dream collabs don't stop there. He's also mentioned wanting to collaborate with Kanye West too. Libre lang mangarap! 🌍

FACT CHECK: EBE DANCEL Edition! 🎸 7 Things To Know

1. Ebe started his musical journey 25+ years ago and formed Sugarfree in 1999 while studying Creative Writing at UP Diliman! Originally from Ilagan, Isabela, he's the fourth of six siblings and previously graduated from UP Rural High School in Los Baños, Laguna before transferring to UP Diliman to pursue his passion for writing and music! It was during these college years that he began composing his own music, sparked by learning guitar on an instrument his brothers had borrowed from a neighbor! ✍️

2. "Burnout" just made history! This OPM hugot classic reached over 100M+ streams on Spotify and peaked at #19 on Spotify Philippines charts just this month of September 2025! This milestone happened just two days after his upcoming concert tickets sold out, making it a rare achievement for a track that was originally released in the 2000s! 🚀

3. DID YOU KNOW: Besides being Sugarfree's frontman, Ebe was also co-lead vocalist and lead guitarist for the supergroup Cambio, performing alongside notable musicians Raymund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, Kris Dancel, and Diego Mapa until the band disbanded in 2007! 🎤

4. Ebe has always had a secret dream - he once aspired to become a stand-up comedian but admits he's too serious for his own good! He's said that his friends often can't tell when he's being funny or serious, so he always has to explain himself, which made pursuing comedy challenging! 😄

FACT CHECK: LOLA AMOUR Edition! 🎸 4 Things To Know

1. "Fallen" actually isn't about falling in love but rather about the hesitation and second-guessing that happens when you're convinced your feelings won't be returned! It was written in 2019 based on Pio's personal college experience with a close friend - he was happy with the feelings he was developing but didn't feel optimistic about where things would go, so he chose not to pursue it because he felt it would just complicate things. Eventually, the friend even found out about the song because Pio showed it to her, and they continued to be friends afterward! 💔

2. The #FallenStory challenge started organically after their YouTube premiere when fans were commenting during the live chat that they wanted to confess their own feelings to their crushes! The band saw this as a perfect way to connect with their audience, so they launched the challenge first on Discord with their fans, then expanded it to TikTok - it went viral and reached millions of views with people sharing before-and-after photos of their love confessions! 📱

3. When their Korean keyboardist Martin Kim had to return to Korea, things were very difficult and concerning for the band since he had been such a crucial part of their sound. Fortunately, David Yuhico stepped in - he's a longtime friend of Pio from their UP college days who had been studying film scoring at Berklee College of Music in the US. Their friendship actually started through playing DOTA together, and they used to make music covers during gaming breaks, including a Justin Timberlake cover that went viral on Facebook! David had already been helping the band behind the scenes as a session keyboardist, sound engineer, and music consultant so it made complete sense to have him join officially... and the rest is history! 🎹

4. The band had an eye-opening experience working with international producers during a songwriting camp where they met South Korea's Hyuk Shin and Malaysia's cuurley for their newer single "Dance With My Mistakes"! The camp format was intense, requiring them to finish a complete song each day, which pushed them creatively in ways they hadn't experienced before. What started as a reluctant sharing session, which became part of the emotional foundation for the song. Working with these foreign producers brought a fresh perspective to their sound, helping them craft the crisp bubblegum city pop feel of "Dance With My Mistakes" - a genre shift and collaboration that marks a new level of polish and international appeal in their music! 🌏

FACT CHECK: One Click Straight Edition! 🎸 5 Things To Know

1. Band name mystery: After 15 years, walang makakaalam kung paano naging "One Click Straight" ang band name! The band members themselves can't remember how it came about, with multiple theories floating around. The most popular theory among the members is that Tim simply woke up one day around 2009-2010 and declared it would be their band name - no deeper meaning, just a random morning decision! 😄

2. Their self-titled sophomore album emerged from the darkest period in their lives, making it what Tim describes as their angriest pop record ever created. Born from pandemic struggles and personal hardships, the album wasn't a planned evolution but a natural expression of what they were feeling internally. The record represents their revival of confidence and was always intended to be self-titled from the start - marking the moment they finally understood their identity as a band! 💭

3. "MRT" backstory: This track was born from countless hours of long commutes in cramped spaces while in motion, becoming their literal version of 'city' pop. The song features rhythmic rumbling that mimics train sounds, synthetic warps mixed with Sam's unorthodox guitar playing, whispered melodies, and crisp drum production that became their trademark sound. The sentimental lyrics explore finding connection while in transit - creating perfect jams for commuters and people constantly moving through life! 🚇

4. Their creative process involves unconventional techniques like using a suitcase as a drum kick for "MRT," which shaped the entire sonic direction of the track. For "Untitled 01," they recorded metal scraps found around the studio to achieve a more industrial sound. The band loves experimenting with different ways of capturing unique sounds, reflecting their deep industrial music influences! 🥁

5. The band believes that everyone's voice matters and encourages fans to use their music as an outlet for any emotion - pain, love, or energy they need to express. Their core message is about being genuine, finding what you love, and focusing on your authentic self while blocking out external noise. Fan support has been crucial during their darkest times, giving them hope when everything felt hopeless! 🎤
