MANILA, Philippines - After the success of its albums Steady Lang and Ayos Din, Brownman Revival is here to say Eto Pa! and get ready to sway to its music once more as it releases its latest EP.
The six-track offering is composed of all-original Pinoy reggae tracks featuring the carrier single Hitik Sa Bunga. The track will surely be one of the hot anthems this summer with its bouncy beats. Though danceable, it carries a simple yet in-your-face message with its lyrics, “Mag-ingat sa mga asal talangka. Hihilahin ka nila pababa. Namamato kapag ika’y hitik sa bunga.” Or simply put, about crab mentality. The single is now on heavy airplay on radio and its music video recently premiered on MYX.
Brownman Revival is composed of Dennis (drums), Jao (bass), Onard (keyboards), Januarie (percussions), Alphy (guitars), Jayson (trombone), Jojo (sax), Ambet (trumpet) and Dino (vocals). They are chosen by Channel [V] Philippines as this month’s VIP (Very Important Pinoy) of the month where the band will be on various shows.
“We are proud of this EP because it is all originals and no covers for a change,” Dennis said.
The nine -piece band started in 1994 as an independent band but went on to become a mainstream success starting with its major label debut Steady Lang which spawned hits Maling Akala (originally by the Eraserheads) Lintik, Rainmaker’s Binibini and Ikaw Lang Ang Aking Mahal (by VST & Co.). This was followed with more popular tunes like Sorry Na Puede Ba?, Walang Kasing Sarap and Reggae Fever with the release of its sophomore album Ayos Din. Both albums garnered critics acclaim and made Brownman Revival one of the most in-demand bands in the country.
Eto Pa! is now out on record stores under Sony Music. To download Brownman Revival’s ringback tones, truetones, full track music from the album, just text SONY to 3456.
