Breaking the Language Barrier.

While you guys are squirming in your seats waiting for the results of the competition, here’s something that might keep your mind off the anxiety.



First one to guess the language gets a high five! Read more!

2 Rock gods + 1 Rock goddess = 3 kick-ass mentors.

Who else am I talking about? While you semifinalists are agonizing over who the finalists are going to be, our three judges are busy going through your entries one by one—and hey, that’s not an easy task, even for bona fide virtuosos like Raimund Marasigan, Francis Reyes, and Cooky Chua.

So let’s put the spotlight on our judges for a bit—though I’m sure you’re already aware of how awesome they are (if not, shame on you).

Here’s Cooky Chua, performing one her most popular songs, “Paglisan”, a song she first made famous with Color it Red. That voice is simply amazing. Takes you back in time to the 90’s, doesn’t it?

Speaking of 90’s Pinoy rock, this band pretty much defined the era. Cased closed. If you don’t know who I’m talking about, you ought to really be ashamed. Should I even ask who the drummer is?

This guy can be simply described in two words: Guitar Hero. Pretty much any serious Pinoy musician knows how good Kiko is. To those who don’t, watch and be blown away—here’s Francis with his old band the Dawn.

Stay tuned for more vids! Read more!

Post your World Tour here.

While the semifinalists are waiting for the announcement of the top 5 bands and the date of the finals, what do you think are they going to do in the meantime? Play gigs of course!

Semifinalists, feel free to plug your shows—post away! (If any other bands out there want to promote their gigs, go right ahead—just don’t spam us please).

Keep on playing and keep on rocking, the Bandwidth finals will be here before you know it!
