It's another Friday night in Mandala Park last November, and fans of the legendary music icon Ely Buendia, who just turned 54 earlier that month, released his first solo album in nearly two and a half decades. So, imagine that he released Wanted Bedspacer when he was still 30 years old and still riding the coattails of the success of his band Eraserheads at that time, eh?

Grabe. Nang dahil sa sinabi sa isang podcast, naging usapan ang pagiging 'tropa' after so long. Oo, kahit dalawang buwan na yun nakalagay sa Spotify.

PlayBack: Apartel – Full Flood

It was somewhat turn-around from what they did in the past. Not fully, but still. The soul train that is  Apartel just got bigger in 2018, and its Full Flood proved that they don't show any signs of sophomore slump despite going undergoing a lot of changes since the Inner Play-era.

It was barely two months ago, when Bel, road manager of a band called the Itchyworms approached me and gave us an invitation to drop by at Route 196 for her biggest organized gig recently. And we're not talking about any of IndieManila's Subdues and Elusive Silence outings here.

PlayBack: Apartel – Inner Play (LP)

Apartel may appear to be just another THE Ely Buendia-starred project since his post-Eraserheads era wherein names like The Mongols, Pupil, and The Oktaves had been ringing bells for already one-and-a-half decade and spawned multiple hits with only one resonating sound as similar to the famed 90s band – that is alternative rock.

However, this is not just another case of his experiment as the six-piece band (formerly eight) isn't just your ordinary soul music-makers. They are a super band already by numbers and prowess; and their debut album will prove you that.

Since their rise to the mainstream in the 2000s, it was highly regarded by many that The Itchyworms were the heir apparent to Ely Buendia and his band – who we all know as – The Eraserheads.
