The First Kid Rock Band in the Philippines
They can rock out and bust out mean drum and guitar solos, and they’re still barely in their teens. The first kid rock band in the Philippines, Square One, is taking the scene one head bang at a time.
Kyle Jimenez (Vocals), JP Par (Lead Guitar) Von Domingo (Bass), and Michael Herradura (Drums) were all born to musical families and it wasn’t difficult for them to pick up an instrument growing up. Being exposed to Metallica, Guns and Roses, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Dream Theater, Wolfgang, Kamikazee, Parokya ni Edgar, and Siakol just to name a few, they all found a passion for rock music; an unconventional choice for such young boys. Their drive has made them wunderkinds with skills up to par, or even better, than much older musicians. By fate they each formed the four sides of what came to be as Square One.
It wasn’t long before the word spread. They always put on an awe- inspiring show and performance, proudly sporting their trademark long hair. That’s why their single “Long Hair”, got their instant fans rocking along to their version of the 90’s reggae hit. With MCA Music guiding their music careers, they are now certified rock stars performing TV shows and touring the country. The band is most excited with their “Letra’s” official Music video which recently premiered at MYX Music video channel, with Mayonnaise’s vocalist Mr. Monty Macalino doing a cameo role.
With all the success they’ve been getting so far, at the end of the day, they are still kids. All of them want to finish school while working as a band. At their age, they are beginning to understand the value of priorities and hard work and it is shaping to become better persons in the future.
Their ultimate goal besides being the number 1 rock group in the country is to ignite the fire of young musicians everywhere. They have made the first spark, and Square One is ready to fan the flames and spread their music like wildfire. And man, these talented kids can definitely do it.
Square One self-titled major label debut album is now out on digital downloads via Spinnr, Spotify, Deezer, and iTunes. It is also available in CD’s at Astroplus, Astrovision, and Odyssey outlets nationwide.
