Make Your Momma Proud (M.Y.M.P) is a Filipino acoustic band known for covering old songs and reviving them into acoustic songs. The band is composed of Juris Fernandez on lead vocals and Chin Alcantara on guitar and occasional vocals.
The band is an easy favorite among romantics but at the same time receives heavy criticism due to the fact that they do very few original songs.
A relatively new band but with seasoned members, Pupil is composed of Ely Buendia, Yan Yuzon, Dok Sergio, and Wendell Garcia, all belonging to a different band at some point. The most notable being Ely Buendia, the former front man of the band The Eraserheads.
Following their first gig in 2005, Pupil has won several music awards from NU 107, Awit Awards, SOP, and MTV Philippines.
If the Eraserheads is the Beatles Philippine version, then Side A would be the country’s Toto, featuring an endless supply of clean, straight soft rock.
Formed in back in 1985, the music they made were featured by easy-listening style and their mellow love songs and laid-back pop music. The albums Side A released all went platinum and some even triple platinum, and aside from bringing the band fortunes, also made way for successful concerts in the US. Decades later, Side A still continues to create the same laid-back rock and mellow love songs the same way they started back in the 80’s.
