PUT3SKA is a 7-9 piece PINOY SKA BAND formed back in 1995 composed of the late LUIS 'Weslu' GUIANG (formerly of G.I. and THE IDIOTS and PRIVATE STOCK), MYRA RUARO (formerly of ARDOURN DELIRIUM) on vocals., ARNOLD MORALES (Lead vocalist of Legendary Pinoy Punk Band "URBAN BANDITS"), and BING AUSTRIA ( Lead vocalist of JUAN PABLO DREAM). Of course every Filipino knows where the band got their name. It's from "Putres Ka!!" which is an alternate for "P..... I..!!" a Tagalog Slang for "Son Of A Bitch". PUT3SKA was very explosive in the PHILIPPINE Music Scene back in the 90s since their beats were very different from the rest of the bands in the Philippine Alternative Scene during those times and it infused a relatively new kind of genre for the common Filipino Music Enthusiast to get along with.
The band was just great in 1995 that they won "BEST LIVE ACT", "BEST NEW ARTIST" and "BEST VOCALIST"(Myra David-Ruaro) in the "1995 NU107 Rock Awards". Although I only saw the band performed LIVE twice, definitely those were indeed great music vibes back then. As the title of their second and which was also their last album would say "MANILA'S FINEST". YUP!! I definitely consider them as one of MANILA'S FINEST band indeed!! Their 1995 self-titled debut album "PUT3SKA" jilted a classic rendition of URBAN BANDIT's "MANILA GIRL". The song was an original song/composition of URBAN BANDITS back in the 80s under the Legendary Pinoy underground record label "TWISTED RED CROSS". Btw, I already featured Tommy Tanchanco's TWISTED RED CROSS here in my little blog "The Doctor Is In" back in December 2008 so check it out on my blog archives labels. The PUT3SKA version was a big hit here in MANILA back in those days that even EAT BULAGA used the song as an entry song for their own Round Girl Jessica Cortez aka. Samantha Lopez or better known as "GRACIA". KABAYANS, you'll definitely remember JOEY DE LEON shouting "GRACIAAAAAA!!" then the song "MANILA GIRL" would signal the entry of Miss Samantha Lopez aka. "GRACIA". Wheeew!! This was the 90s so GRACIA was really very hot and sexy back then.
