Local groups release indie albums
BOY BAND JBK releases self-titled debut album.
EMERGING Filipino boy band JBK and pop-rock band Fifth Dynamics recently released their debut independent albums. The groups are grand champions of last year’s “Dreams Get Real: The Search for the Next OPM Star,” an annual talent search mounted by McJim Classic Leather.
JBK’s self-titled album and Fifth Dynamics’ “Pogi Kame” will feature new tracks that hope to cater to a broad base of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) listeners. The albums were produced by talent manager and public relations practitioner Chris Cahilig.
JBK is composed of groupmates Joshua Bulot, Bryan del Rosario and Kim Lawrenz Ordonio.
JBK’s new album has 10 tracks. The vocal trio became popular on Facebook for its a cappella cover videos of OPM, Indonesian, Japanese, and Malaysian songs.
Meanwhile, Fifth Dynamics’ independently released album “Pogi Kame” has tracks that reflect the members’ fun-loving personalities.
Composed of Mark Cordovales (vocals), Peter Leyva (lead guitar), Kelvin Bendijo (bass guitar), Wence Escabas (rhythm guitar) and Aldrin Condat (drums), the band’s debut album is presented by Lumina Homes and McJim Classic Leather.
“JBK” and “Pogi Kame” are now available in various digital music stores, including Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, and Amazon.
It is scheduled for release in Odyssey and Astrovision and Astroplus record bars this month.
