Music

Typecast was formed in the year 2000 in Laguna Province. they were originally a quartet doing cover songs, and eventually started making original compositions. As they were gathering more listeners with their increasing popularity, two members left  leaving them with the option to obtain  a new guitarist. This was later done in the inclusion of Steve Frank Badiola who did both vocals and guitar. With the release of the album Every Moss And Cubweb in 2006, the band has added a new guitarist , Frank Fletchero.

Typecast released their debut CD titled Last Time which is an independent release. The lead single of the album, also entitled "Last Time", got the group a guest appearance in the radio station NU 107’s program In The Raw. Since then, their popularity in the underground music scene increased. They also performed in large musical events such as the Fete de la Musique 2005, and also did the opening act for the foreign band Good Charlotte in the latter band’s Manila tour. The band, along with other famous Filipino rock bands like Kamikazee, Kjwan and Moonstar 88; contributed in the compilation album Rok On! for Philippine Ragnarok Online.

They also released their second album entitled The Infatuation Is Always There that features 12 sound tracks with the Infatuation Is Always There as the carrier single of the band.

Their third album entitled Every Moss And Cubweb features the song " Will You Ever Learn" which won the  " Song of the Year" category in the NU Rock Awards in 2007.

This is one best band in the Philippines for they play greate music that has the quality of international bands for they are the number one  Top Artist in MySpace all over Southeast Asia. Typecast pioneered the social networking website as a venue for independent music in Southeast Asia and holds the most number of friends and fans in the area. having been often been mistaken as an American band, Geoff Rickly of the band Thursday said that reminds him of the Post-Rock band explosions in the sky. They have been reviewed as one of the most influential Rock Bands in Southeast Asia according to an online magazine based in Singapore and Malaysia.

For me the music industry in the Philippines is growing and that by having the band TYPECAST  makes it more interesting and also the local music can now compete with the international groups.
