Meet The Bloomfields

They sound excited, joyful, happy to be alive, inspiring, crazy, and willing to experiment—they are EMI’s newest beatnik band who puts melody to rock and roll. THE BLOOMFIELDS—comprised of five young gentlemen who have taken a liking for the rock and roll music of the 60s—had just released their self-titled debut album.

The Bloomfields’ style of retro-inspired music and boundless enthusiasm in performing is similar to The Beatles, The Beachboys, The Shadows, The Ventures and Dave Clark 5. "It’s happy music" as they like to call it as you dance, twist and shout and do the hop ‘til you drop with JJ Lozano, 22, on the lead Rickenbacker (the guitar John Lennon used), Louie Poco, 21, on the bass Rickenbacker (also a McCartney Favorite), Pepe Lozano, 24, on the electric guitar, Lakan Hila, 24, on piano/organ/keyboards and Rocky Collado on the drums.

While this album remains a stunning example of the beat music of the 60s, The Bloomfields delivers five original compositions and 12 covers in an album that thrived on hazy and dreamy songs, featuring their blended vocal harmony and melting melodies.

Their first single is an original Tagalog song "Wala Nang Iba," which is now playing on radios with a music video that proves rock and roll revivalism and music-hall nostalgia is set to conquer rock outfit.

"Wala Nang Iba" was written by the band as requested by their fans to produce a Tagalog song. The first single "Wala Nang Iba" was composed by the band’s drummer Rocky Collado and melody by JJ Lozano. "Alam Mo Na Yun," "The Way I Care," "Please Don’t Go," and "Say You Do" also complete the album which is reminiscent of the Beach Boys.

If you are a fan of early rock n’ roll and you are looking to find some great tunes from your favorite classic rock gems, The Bloomfields also borrowed songs that you have probably missed all these years.

Remakes like the "At the Hop" of Danny and the Juniors; the jazz samba "Girl From Ipanema" of Astrud Gilberto had turned to The Bloomfields’ own music rendition to sing along with; you will no longer miss the hits "If I Fell" and "You’re Going To Lose That Girl" by The Beatles; "Never Let her Slip Away" by Andrew Gold; covers of the phenomenal radio hits like "Wouldn’t It Be Nice," "Surfer Girl," "Little Honda" by The Beachboys; "King Creole" by Elvis Presley; "Walk On By" by Dionne Warwick and Bacharach.

OPM hits which reminds you of those bell-bottom pants and psychedelic print that goes with the music of Bodgie Dasig’s original composition and also revived by Richard Reynoso, "Ale," "Nasa Langit Na Ba Ako?" and "Iskul Bukol" of Tito, Vic and Joey also sounded like their own.

The Bloomfields proudly echoing everyone from The Beatles to The Beach Boys to Elvis Presley is here making the classic rock new again. Watch them perform and delight you with old rocking and rolling as you never heard in years.

Self-titled debut album THE BLOOMFIELDS is now available in stores released by EMI Phils in cooperation with StagePro, Asia Link Finance Corp., Global Dominion and Ipanema Bar and Restaurant.
