Castaway by Franco

Yesterday afternoon, I received an SMS from my brother telling me about a great song titled "Castaway". This was performed by Franco and other members of this band consist of different musicians from Urban Dub, Parokya ni Edgar and others.

Last night, when I got home, I remembered his text so I checked out the music. Knowing my brother, he has a weird taste in music because of his "trying-to-be-unique" taste. I was amazed so WTF! The song fits my genre because it sounded like bands that I would listened to. Also, the vocalist looks a lot like the vocalist of System of a Down. I was amazed that I now found a new song that I could add to my "mp3 obsession" list.

Just this morning, it dawned to me that my brother never really like listening to OPM. Give him a backstage ticket to Eraserheads or Rivermaya, he will just sell them or give it away. This was the first song he mentioned that he actually liked. So the bigger WTF would be my brother slowly recognizing OPM bands and slowly liking their sounds. WTF again!!!

Personally, I can see the progression of OPM that they slowly sounded more like foreign songs. Not that I think it should be the case, but the mere fact that you people mistakes them from a foreign band makes these bands great.

Will be posting a new entry on how I perceive the progression of OPM into a better sound. To end this, here is the youtube video of Castaway by Franco. Chill, relax and succumb to the beauty of the song.
