With the release of their sophomore effort, INFLUENCE (Lighter Records), Urbandub took on a new form, changing their sound with a new drummer (From Jed Honrado to Jerros Dolino). Unique, timely and yet experimental, it was something that entertainment scenes around the Philippines needed: a kick-start into the future of original music. Off of this album, the hit tracks “Come”, “Give” and “Would You Go” launched and took their world by storm. Forced to be independent due to the lack of support coming from major record companies, Urbandub released their debut album called BIRTH. Each of them now aspire to take their own roads in music, paving their own way and modeling some of their steps after the success of Urbandub.įrom the very first day that this band was formed (in the year 2000), they were destined to be something more than the ordinary.
Urbandub's career thus far has given much inspiration and support to upcoming acts, most of which fall under the Lighter Records stable such as Faspitch, The Ambassadors, Still, Nuncyspungen (Cagayan) and Point Click Kill (Ilo Ilo). Urbandub is Gabby Alipe (Vocalist / Guitarist), Lalay Lim (Bassist), John Mendoza (Drummer) and John Dinopol (Lead Guitarist). Local or International, they're jet-set to stir up waves, raising the level for today's modern angst. A Philippine-based band proudly waving the banner of hometown Cebu, Urbandub is growing to be a titan, a superpower of the Pinoy independent rock movement.
