"Having coined the term the “Love Beat”, the group’s passion for music carries on to spread the so-called beat not only to its family and friends, but as well as to its growing number of fans and supporters."
Who would’ve thought that from Iloilo City (Philippines), four young men will have gathered and created something that made a buzz from the local music scene? Fellow gig-goers and musically-inclined individuals gather on most weekends at certain local spots just to have a listen (and some sight as well) on one of Iloilo’s rising bands. While most bands these days usually do covers of their favorite bands, this group prefers to make good compositions and perform them --even better. Now enough of the hulabaloos. Let’s get the ball rolling.
A project band, which was formed last May 2008, each of them came from different bands in the Iloilo music scene such as Driveletter, Pigstomp, Incident Report, & Monsterkill (with different genres as well). At first glance, one may somehow have a slight notion of this group that plays “Pogi Rock” (what is Pogi Rock, anyway?) probably because they look.. good (and yeah, pogi). On a saner note, its music sounds like a mixture of some Jazz, Ambient, Hiphop, Bossanova, Hardcore, Electronica and everything that goes around.
Having decided to finally push through with the making of the album, the group has encountered a lot of challenges. Unsigned, unlabeled, and with Kewpee (on vocals) on leave for a while, these didn’t stop Nescel (on guitars), Stephen (on bass), Paolo (on drums), and Benjo (current vocals) from doing what they love --to create and share music, with love that is. Having coined the term the “Love Beat”, the group’s passion for music carries on to spread the so-called beat not only to its family and friends, but as well as to its growing number of fans and supporters.
Putting the fun into function, this group includes a variey of interests --ranging from skateboards, longboards, football, swimming, pizza trips, barbeque parties, video blogs, skype-ing, facebook-ing, dj jolan, dj nilfert, videoke, flying kites, wall doodles, photography, movie marathons, humanitarian causes, social awareness, soundtrips and other regular hobbies that happy and real young men usually prefer.
Now this is what The Liberty Jam is; with its edgy guitar riffs, pensive (and somehow playful) lyrics, catchy drum beats, and rhythmic melodies, it can make one go dancing such as in Deep City Lights, expressing sensuality in Fernando, or swaying and musing over love in Just Like, and can leave one go on an LSS trip. Just like that.
