<S> MARKS THE SPOT
Sandwich makes a huge splash once again with the release of a new album <S> Marks the spot under EMI Philippines, in celebration of their 10th year in the local music scene.
From GRIP STAND THROW (1999), to FOUR TRACK MIND (2001), and to THANKS TO THE MOON’S GRAVITATIONAL PULL (2003), Sandwich talks of a much bigger progression this time as their kick-off single “Procrastinator” topped charts just after it was aired on the screen. This just proves the band’s will to create fresh and innovative sounds and arrangements in every new album. <S> MARKS THE SPOT is a 15-song collection that documents the band’s travels and adventures from the past two years. The album’s second single “Betamax”, a song which recalls the old OPM/local music scene including their background influences, also became a successful hit.
Sandwich is a band formed in 1998 and was originally composed by Marc Abaya(Kwjan) as vocalist, Raimund Marasigan and Diego Castillo on Guitars, Myrene Academia as bassist, and drummer Mike Dizon. Yers after, Marc Abaya dicided to quit the band which left Raimund on frontman duty and the addition of Miguel “Mong” Alcaraz (Chicosci) on lead guitar. Despite Marc’s exit, Sandwich had been much successful then ever and now enjoying the biggest hits of their lives.
