The first time I heard Clem Castro sing was sometime ago, in Gweilo’s along Palanca Street, when he was with a different band that had a cult following among the, er, older set. Of the group I was with, only one was in her early 20s, and while she loved the band’s songs, she could only blink when another friend noted their distinctly retro influences.

•Universal Records, 2005


I remember a not-too-distant Wednesday night at Gweilos in Makati when, upon the prodding of indie icon Toti Dalmacion, my girlfriend Joyce and I dropped by to soak in a set or two of this band that took their name from an album of XTC. By then we had already savored the first album of Orange and Lemons (O&L) – packed in non-descript recycled paper. But we wanted more.

Alam n’yo ba na ganito rin ang feeling kapag napakinggan n’yo yung music ng bandang Orange & Lemons? Tunog foreign ang music nila pero, pusong Pinoy ang nilalaman ng mga kanta.

Bakit hindi magiging tunog foreign ang music nila eh number one avid fans sila ng Beatles? Pero infairness, mai-enjoy mo ang music nila.

Love in the Land of Rubber Shoes and Dirty Ice Cream

• Terno Recordings, 2003

People can make as much fun of the ‘80s as they want. But no one can deny that the decade produced some of the most awesome music from Europe — a far cry from today’s drab scene dominated by media-hyped acts that MTV force-feeds on us.
