I do not listen that much to radio and watch television that much. I usually learn news like this through facebook, tumblr, and other blogs. I am not that much updated to the local Pinoy Rock scene and from the list below only few I know and those I knew I only listen to Bamboo, Francis M, and Sugarfree.
I miss the days when the NU Rock Awards is still new not that my favored bands are listed but because most of the talents are there.. the guys who bring back rock n roll to life here in the Philippines. Underground bands who only wants to share their talents whether no prize or money involve. I guess knowing this 2009 NU Rock Awards winners through Tumblr which is a calling (what?… LOL) for me to hear this new generation of great Pinoy Rock Bands and maybe, just maybe my love for music would return.
