2006 has seeded what i would call the fourth wave in pinoy rock history. first was the golden age where groups like JDCB, asin, maria cafra, etc. break the ground. then there was the brave new world of the 80s side by side with the new wave movement. then e'heads broke the monotony of the nineties and gave the alternative explosion. now here comes the 'indie explosion' into the mainstream... paramita, up dharma down... ironically ignited by the sudden rise of a decidedly un-indie band called hale.
as if indie is a new word... as if indie is a new world...
before, it was alternative being adopted into the mainstream, raped by the corporate hype machine and left out to ecstatic slow meltdown... now indie is fast becoming the next big tragedy...
