The Philippines

Parokya ni Edgar: They're probably the coolest Pinoy band. Alive. They're just basically friends just hanging around and play some music. They've been together for like 14 years and still kickin' around. Sorry for the bad quality lol

Francis Magalona: He's like Eminem in the Philippines. He died last 2009. He's a legend in Filipino music.

Bamboo: Pretty much the most hype rock band in 'Pinas. Too bad they disbanded last year. Most of their songs are about the economic and political status of 'Pinas.
