Hale, the band that promises to highlight their musical versatility and excellent vocalism in alternative rock genre and yet emanates a very sad undertone that they describe as “melodrama.” (melodious drama). Champ, Hale’s vocalist, originally captured the term “Hale” in the dictionary. “Hale”, according to Champ, is an old English term which means sound in body.
The band has music as their common ground. Rol and Sheldon, are Music majors at the University of Santo Tomas (UST). Champ, on the other hand, has also been exposed to music scene while he was young being the son of a respected songwriter-producer. Lastly, Omnie, before has started jamming with other bands and that has helped him develop his talents in his chosen craft.
In November 2004, the band signed a contract with EMI Philippines after being snubbed by other recording companies. This gave them a chance to let the people hear their sincere music. At the first quarter of 2005, their tragic love song “Broken Sonnet” became the carrier single in EMI’s Full Volume, a collection of Pinoy rock music. Hale graced the album with local rock titans like Bamboo, Sugarfree, Sandwich, Urbandub.
