Queso
Queso are a Filipino Rock band who enjoyed mainstream success in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band eventually broke up after the release of their third album but reunited in 2012.
At the height of their popularity Queso, who previously called themselves Cheese until 2003, were considered part of the Filipino Nu Metal genre. The band is best known for the single Mottaka, a song about their ideology of their friendship, from their second album Pilipinas.
The band’s former and current members all grew up in the local Rock and Metal scene and performed in different bands, i.e. drummer Robert Dela Cruz of Sky Church. The band’s singer Ian Tayao and guitarist Ocho Toleran each have strong backgrounds in collaborating in other projects and with different artists.
Queso’s sound, especially in their final years before disbanding, evolved and became more and more experimental, blending Rock, Reggae, Funk, Folk, Dub, and Jazz.
Greyhoundz
Greyhoundz is a Filipino nu metal/rap metal band formed in the late 1990s which gained international recognition and is currently based in Manila, Philippines.
Greyhoundz was formed in 1997 by cousins Niño and Audie Avenido who at first just wanted to join a local battle of the bands contest together with other bandmates that included Allen Cudal. The contest was canceled so they opted to audition at the now defunct Club DREDD that was based in Manila. They later recruited Reg Rubio, who was from another band that also played at Club Dredd and TJ Brillantes came on board shortly after. On May 6, 2004, Allen Cudal died from a car accident. The 2004 Pulp SummerSlam was the last time the band performed with their complete line up. Despite the tragic event and as a sign of respect for their late bandmate, the group now performs as a 4-piece band instead of hiring a new member
