Eraserheads - Topic

Eraserheads is a Filipino rock band formed in Quezon City in 1989. The band is composed of lead singer and primary songwriter Ely Buendia, guitarist Marcus Adoro, bassist Buddy Zabala, and drummer Raimund Marasigan. Regarded as “the Beatles of the Philippines”, the band is considered as one of the most influential and successful bands in the country.
The band released their debut album, Ultraelectromagneticpop!, in 1993, to critical acclaim and strong sales. Followed by Circus and Cutterpillow, the band ushered in a second wave of Philippine rock bands in the 1990s. They also received MTV Asia’s Viewers Choice Award at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City, the only Philippine artist to have received the award before the conception of the MTV Asia Awards.
After releasing the Christmas concept album Fruitcake, Eraserheads experimented with electronic and art rock styles for their next albums Sticker Happy, Natin99, and Carbon Stereoxide. The band broke up in 2002, and all principal former members have enjoyed success as solo artists.
