TYPECAST
HOW YOUR INFLUENCE BETRAYS YOU
Since the 2007 release of Every Moss and Cobweb, Typecast has become the unlikely vanguards of musicianship in an artistic landscape replete with fleeting trends. It has taken them years of relentless touring and considerable personal sacrifices to reach this point, all for the sake of preserving their vision. After a wearying decade of defying expectations, it is no surprise that Typecast has lapsed into an uncharacteristic silence. There comes a time when artist suffer from their own creations, and it becomes necessary to renew in order to survive. Now, after three years of introspection,Typecast has returned from their self-imposed exile with How Your Influence Betrays You their most ambitious effort to date.
Recorded at Tower of Doom with the guidance of the inimitable Eric Perlas, How Your Influence Betrays You is a sprawling reflection of the long, timorous road that Typecast has traveled, harking back to their humble beginnings in Laguna while heralding the promise of the future. The first single - This Kind of Silence, combines the enthusiasm and sincerity the band has become known for while giving a glimpse of the bold new direction they have taken. The band further brings to light their evolving sophistication with the album opener, Unwilling, a melancholic and deceptively gentle meditation that reveals their exceptional musical complexity along with their ever-present desire to defy expectations. Typecast greatest strength, however, has always lain in forging new ground while remaining true to their underground roots, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the raucous and impassioned The Truth and the menacing opus As Silent As Death, collaborations with longtime friends, Rogel Africaand Tatel Marcelino, both of seminal metal band Valley of Chrome. Showcasing the beauty in simplicity, the band also reveals newfound depth and worldliness with the existential You Will Be Alone, a stark and lonely parable that is sure to become an instant classic.
In an era defined by the ephemeral, Typecast has once again made their mark by eschewing the familiar, continuing their decade-long tradition of pushing musical boundaries and daring experimentation. Now, they lay bare ten years worth of creativity and emotion, simultaneously honoring their past while hinting towards the sound of things to come. Condensing a decade of experience into one album is a challenge, but this new release manages to encapsulate the trials and tribulations that have shaped them into the artists they have become. With How Your Influence Betrays You, Typecast has taken their fearlessness and inventiveness to the zenith, going beyond their influences to create something truly transcendental.
EVERY MOSS AND COBWEB / THE INFATUATION IS ALWAYS THERE
Emerging from the underground music haven of Laguna, Philippines, Typecast have staked their claim at the forefront of the scene with their unique brand of aching sincerity and arresting melodies. Through unforgettable live shows, a devoted fan base, and their unrelenting DIY ethic, the band continues to shatter preconceptions of what an underground band can offer, garnering admiration from fans as well as from the bands that inspired them to forge their own path. Typecast began as a three-piece band in 1999, when founding members Steve Badiola (guitar, vocals) and Melvin Macatiag (drums) met in high school. They later recruited Chi Resurreccion (bass) and began playing shows in their hometown in Laguna. After establishing a local fan base, intense word-of-mouth and nonstop touring led the band to the hallowed halls of the Philippines' premier rock station, NU 107, and a guest spot on In the Raw, NU 107's landmark program spotlighting up-and-coming local bands. The trio recorded the barebones EP Last Time in 2002, capturing the frenetic energy and raw emotion of their live performances. Typecast continued to perform in support of the EP, eventually catching the attention of Raymund Marasigan, formerly of legendary Filipino band The Eraserheads.
The year 2004 saw the release of Typecast's first full-length album, The Infatuation Is Always There. The album, produced by Marasigan, was an emotional and musical tour de force, revealing an emotional maturity and superior musicianship uncaptured by the rawness of their previous release. The aftermath of Infatuation brought more changes to the band. With little radio airplay and minimal promotion, Typecast's debut album reached unprecedented heights for an independent release, exposing them to a new audience and changing the landscape of Filipino music. The band satisfied the public's hunger by touring the country even more extensively and honing their live act on the Philippines' major music festivals.
Typecast soon headed back into the studio, this time with new member Pacoy Fletchero (guitar) in tow. The band made their way to Studio 101, in Malaysia, and recorded their second album, Every Moss and Cobweb. The strength of the songs on Every Moss is a testament to the band's distinct but evolving style. From the fragile and moving album opener, You Don't Need Eyes To See, to the visceral defiance of The Conflict, and to the anthemic lament of Will You Ever Learn, Typecast continues to showcase their growing versatility. Every Moss, distributed nationally by Warner Music Philippines, allowed Typecast to reach even wider audiences; the public reaction to the album has been extraordinary, gaining them new followers and satisfying their longtime fans as well. With 2007 coming to a close, Typecast continues to write new songs and tour relentlessly, preserving their reputation as a formidable live band. Never content to rest on their laurels, it is certain that Typecast's drive will cement their status as one of the best Philippine local bands to emerge from the underground.
The band is currently recording at Tower of Doom Studio for another CD set to be released this year, 2009. Watch out for it!
