--------COMMENTS/NOTES-------------

A fitting follow-up to their hit album, Influence, Urbandub was able to sustain, if not build on the noise they created with the release of their 3rd studio album, Embrace. The addition of Jan Mendoza as their new drummer influenced he band into creating songs with faster tempos and heavier beats. This album also caught the attention of executives from EMI Music Philippines and for the first time, an Urbandub album was distributed with the help of a major label.

One of the things that constantly amaze me with this band is their polished, "are you sure this is not foreign?" sound. Their serious lyrics, combined with unusual song arrangements, will keep you listening to them. Check out tracks 1 [Alert the Armory], 3 [First of Summer] and 7 [Endless, A Silent Whisper]

I've decided to include in this post Urbandub's latest album so you could have a glimpse on the evolution of this band. Here, the band tried to push the envelope by writing songs that are different from their past ones while still retaining tne Urbandub sound. Most of the songs here are on the louder, heavier side, although they also have their staple laidback, steady songs. Track 9 [Inside the Mind of a Killer] is a surprise for most fans.

I hope you drop by to tell us what you think of the album. Comments are very much welcome. :)

This is the first album that got me acquainted with this wonderful band, so I think it's quite apt that this will be my first post here. Urbandub is a 5-member band from Cebu, Philippines who was able to gain a wide following amongst audiophiles from the whole country without support from a major recording company. Relying only on their connections with fellow musicians, they were able to share their music through endless tourings and spots on concert festivals. Their efforts bore fruit when they won Best Song of the Year in the NU Rock Awards 2003 for "Soul Searching" and Album for the Year in the NU Rock Awards 2004.

I often say that Influence could very well be the soundtrack of my love stories. A New Tattoo describes how powerful a crush can be [attention fangirls]. Quiet Poetic is about the tender moments between lovers while Gone can be your favorite song when your loved one is already...gone. Set to infectious rhythms and driving melodies, Influence will surely stay on your players for a long time.
