"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

Emotional baggage often feels like a backpack that has been fused to your shoulders. Today, try to visualize setting that pack down, even just for five minutes, and allowing yourself to breathe without the weight.

Urbandub emerged from the underground music scene of Cebu City in 1999, fueled by the vision of founding members like Gabby Alipe and Jed Honrado to blend heavy alternative rock with melodic sensibilities. Originally experimenting with reggae-infused rhythms—which inspired their name—the band spent their early years as independent pioneers, hand-delivering their debut album Birth to local radio stations. Their grassroots success in the Visayas eventually forced the Manila-centric music industry to take notice, especially after their sophomore album Influence won "Album of the Year" at the NU107 Rock Awards. By refusing to conform to the traditional "Manila-first" path to success, Urbandub became the "Giant Sound of the South," paving the way for provincial artists to achieve national stardom on their own terms.

Wolfgang is a Filipino rock band formed in January 1992 in Manila. The group is notable for being the only Filipino rock band to release albums in both Japan and the United States and for realizing Platinum record sales in their home country. After ten years, the original lineup split in 2002. Wolfgang reformed in 2007 with a new drummer.

Vocalist Basti Artadi (born Sebastian Artadi) and drummer Wolf Gemora (born Leslie Gemora) began their musical careers with other local bands, while guitarist Manuel Legarda returned to the Philippines from living in Spain.Gemora was inspired to form a band upon frequenting shows by the rock group Razorback. He invited Legarda to join him and eventually, the two found Basti Artadi singing with his band, Sin City. Upon Legarda's invitation, Artadi joined the duo. In their first few months, the group went through a number of bass players. They eventually met Mon Legaspi, who became their permanent bassist. They initially dubbed themselves the Wolfpack and later adopted the name Wolfgang, upon the suggestion of David Aguirre, one of the guitarists of Razorback. They began to play live gigs at Weekends Live! at the Atrium and the now-defunct Kalye Bar in Makati. Their first big break came when they were invited to perform on Channel 29's RJ Junior Jam.
