Pinoy punk, nutshelled. Others followed, but this is still king in many ways. Piss, vinegar, frustration, fury, three chords, alchemy, hard-on.

– Dodo Dayao

Calling this classic doesn’t mean anything because it only conjures boredom and seriousness while in fact it’s the exact opposite. Both importance and excellence stand, rebelliously sentimental from root to tip, tugging the rope at both ends and wringing the piss of Pinoy punk, unmatched and driven like no other song in our music history.
