MOYG is one of the best punk band in Manila. The band started out as a punk-ska outfit during the golden days of Pinoy ska in Manila during the 90's. There were only 2 bands that I remember and liked during its resurgence that were able to pull off the punk and ska hybrid - they were the 3 piece punk rockers "Toilet Skandal" and the 7 piece of a then ska band "MOYG". The Manila ska scene was more into 2Tone and 60's Jamaican stuff back then and when these two bands came around, the scene became more flavorful and energetic.
MOYG released their independent cd as a 4 piece punk band, I forgot what year it was. Below is an interview I made with the band's vocalist and good friend Karlo Estrada. Karlo is also one of our featured DJ on our Soundblasters internet radio show. He is now based in Singapore with his fiance Natalie Munsayac. It's in tagalog and unedited. The essence of the interview will be lost in translation thus I left it as it is.
