Paraluman ~ Philippine Bands Podcast

Biography

PARALUMAN is one of the youngest bands to hit the Metro Manila stages today. Although the band is technically still a rookie in the industry, most of the members are already experienced musicians, coming from their previous bands. As such, they are still always eager and willing to learn the ropes and are taking everyopportunity given them, paving the way towards their musical maturity. Friends since childhood, it was their common interest in music that led them to form a band. Soon after, they found themselves making their rounds of bars, doing gigs for small productions and eventually onto much bigger events.

PARALUMANs music is daring and edgy, yet versatile enough to switch into mellow tunes whenever necessary. Madelines voice is smooth, rounded and quite enigmatic, mesmerizing listeners as Paraluman takes on the stage. Rendering cover songs originally from artists such as Moonpools and Catterpillars, Plumb, Michelle Branch, D Sound, Paramore, and the like, the band makes sure that they are able to incorporate their own style to the songs, making it their own and managing to make it sound more interesting to the listening crowd. One great example of this is their rendition of Sharon Cunetas hit song Mr. DJ, which when played, never fails to invoke much appreciation from the crowd. Aside from these covers, Paraluman already has its own lineup of original songs which they play on gigs.

Paraluman writes songs which speak clearly of young minds experiences on love, whether it be confusion, joy, or frustration emotions expressed on originals such as Emily, Slip, and Maghanap.

It proves that their songs know how to relate to others as their single Emily ranks on Campus FM?s daily countdown and RX daily survey. The pleasing sound of the band blessed them with opportunities like covering Sampaguita,Ikaw Pa Rin, for the compilation album tribute to Sampaguita entitled, Bagong Banda: Awit ni Sampaguita under Ballyhoo Records. Moreover, they have been performing in significant events in the Metro such as SMB Oktoberfest Party, MYX Slam Jam, UP Fair, and Philippine Stars Job Fair to name a few.

With the growing number of listeners who recognized the real talent Paraluman offers, the band released their debut album, PARALUMAN INLAB, under Soupstar Music and Universal Records.
