Alpha Music’s latest band discovery FRIO
The local music scene is ho nowadays because of the resurgence of talented bands. Now, it will sizzle even more as young band Frio joins the highly competitive music scene.
The music of Frio ca be classified under pop-alternative genre and is unmonochromatic with a variety of melodies and arrangements somehow united in band showcases three main vocal talents in which these three voices blended at several points in the album, bring about a new and radical experience in Filipino music with which Frio uniquely provides.
Frio is composed of 8 members namely Alain Echem (vocals), Christopher Sison (vocals), SheilaTaup (vocals), Archie Lim (lead guitar), Christian Quiambao (rhythm guitar) Tristan Climaco (keyboards), Raz Itum (bass) and Marvin Salazar (drums). They have just released their self-titled debut under Alpha Music.
All the ten songs in the album blend well with today’s hit songs beginning with the carrier single “Alive.” A love ditty, the song is about the cry of a man who seeks to be loved and embraced for what he is. It is now gaining significant airplays from top FM stations in Manila and near by provinces.
Frio started as small campus band in Zamboanga City. Formed through high school friendship, the band initially played at school events and special functions. Soon after, the band started to play at small bars and was eventually noted by a local radio station and was requested to play at campus tours in several schools in Zamboanga City. They also joined and won several band competitions including a city band championship for the year 2004 and runner-up for the SMB Jinggaling Contest Regional Finals. From then on, Frio was offered regular gigs from local entertainment bars and became known in the city’s music scenery which led it to play as front act for popular artists. Frio took their music to a higher level by making original compositions, six of which were initially recorded at Cagayan de Oro City. Now, the band with the help and support of family and friends, ventured on to Manila to become a part of the local music scene.
Having eight members in the band is not a problem to this talent-laden group. Frio finds it more of an advantage, not to mention having three main vocalist each of which has his/her own forte. The group believes that it is no the number of the members that really matters. It’s the contribution and definition of each member’s role to convert dreams into achievements and success that matter most.
