Yesterday, I went into Tower Records, Glorietta to see what’s new music was there. I haven’t been listening to the radio so I’m not exactly up to date on new music. I heard a pretty catchy but heavy rock song was being played in store. It reminded me a bit of Hoobastank, Thursday and Staind. And so I asked the lady from the counter what band was it. I heard her say “Ice Cream.” Of course, I was surprised since what heavy / metal band would name their band “ice cream?” So I asked what the name was again and she just handed me a flyer. Apparently it’s Eyescream and it’s a local band hailing from Nueva Ecija.
After hearing a bit of all the tracks on the album, I decided to buy their debut album, Memories. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a good local band on the “heavy and/or metal” side. After hearing all the tracks in their full length, I’m quite impressed. They make good music. Although I can’t really automatically say that their music stands out, the tracks can grow on you. I enjoyed the way they’ve mixed melodies and laid them on the songs. Notable tracks are Wednesday, Memories, Tadjang, Mizzin’ and Without You. I just hope they sound as good when they play live.
