Today, everyone in the world's in a band. Now, I'm more amazed by male ballet dancers and female pilots than I'm amazed with the modern "musicians"...until I heard The Liberty Jam.
They're probably just another band in the scene...But really, there's more.
In an era where everyone seems to be in a band, had been in a band, or wants to be in a band, being original is a struggle. The Liberty Jam is lucky to have found their niche. The band's sound is a unique blend of originality and commercial tangibility. Four different individuals of diverse musical prefrences finding a common ground in what the band payfully call "Ilonggocore" living up to the Ilonggo image of being sweet and amiable...PERO ROCK.
The band is so passion-driven that nothing became an issue for the love of playing music. Time constraint and even the temporary absence of their frontman Kewpee did not stop the band from spreading the love beat (Benjo, a very good friend of the band's fills in for Kewpee during local gigs). Another sign of overflowing passion for music is their upcoming, independently produced self-titled album, the bi-product of hardwork and perseverance.

Nescel, Stepehen, Paolo and Kewpee are ordinary individuals with extraordinary musical prowess. I'm not just saying this because I'm friends with the four (plus one for Benjo), but how they can make a very good number of concert goers and fellow musicians bop/slam/dance/sing along to their songs is something else.
And that, my friends is how I know The Liberty Jam.
See/hear for yourself.
