A Fil-Am band known as Julie Plug
If you haven’t heard of this US-based (San Francisco Bay Area), all-Filipino band before, maybe sharing their music video would be a better introduction of the kind of music that they make. This one is called video for “Blue Sky Propeler” which features a couple of mod-style, vintage scoots festooned with numerous headlamps. Listen to the song (it sounds more like Brit-pop more than American Top 40), and see if you can figure out the band’s musical influence.
Nice song, right? The track came from the band’s sophomore outing called Whatever You Wonder
At least four of their songs had been featured in various episodes of Dawson’s Creek. They consider The Sundays as one of their musical influences, inspiring them to start a female-fronted band back in 1992. Now, listen to one The Sundays’ hits and see if you can find similarities between the music style of these two bands.

Ayus tong band na to, di ako nagsisi nakinig ako nito. Metal talaga genre ko. Pero nagustuhan ko sila ng sobra. Nakakatuwa lang eh mga pilipino sila. Oo nga pala nakita ko to sa profile ni Bea Pascual sa Facebook sya yung volleyball player sa Ateneo. Salamat din sayu Bea, dahil sayu nakilala ko tong band na to…
