About Me: As the name BOK76 (a.k.a. Bonded on Kinship) implies, the relationship between these guys has become very strong that they see each other as brothers. The colloquial term “bok”, often heard today as synonymous to “brother” or “friend”, also emphasize the closeness of the group. This, in addition to their wide range of influences, has helped each of them define their own sound and create their own brand of music while maximizing the good voice blending of their two main crooners. The sound of BOK76 is centered on emotions of melancholy that portrays life's (relationships and friendships in particular) frustrations, attacked positively with an upbeat tempo, accompanied by a heavy riff that is very pinoy rock. On September 2007, the band released an EP called REVELATIONS. A five-track recording signifying the rebirth of the band after a long slumber from the underground scene. The songs in the EP contained the common themes of the band's music: guitar-driven songs of love, hate, angst, frustration, friendship, and good old classic rock n’ roll. In the same month, the video of the band’s first single “Traydor” premiered on MYX and MTV. The song is also played in various radio stations across the country, primarily on NU 107 and RJUR 105.9. The band has then released a follow up single “Last Kiss”, which consistently topped the charts, besting other famous acts. On November, 2007, the band was featured on MYX Bandarito and was subsequently invited to front the 2008 edition of Summer MYX Fest held in the Island of Boracay. The band was also included in the TANDUAY Rhum on the Rock held at the CCP grounds last April 2008. The full independent album REVELATIONS will be released on December 2008 and will be available through leading music bars following its launch at Club Dredd, Eastwood City on 28 November 2008. The album contains 12 original tracks including the three singles (Traydor, Last Kiss, and Panaginip) which the band has released since 2007. The band, who is composed of Erwin Bautista (vocals), Don Montealegre (guitars/vocals), Jay Castelo (drums/percussion), Owee Nicolas/Onin Paz (bass) and Elwynn Dayrit (guitars), has been continuously playing in various bars in the Metro such as: Club Dreddd, 6Underground, RJ Bar, Mag.net Café, Freedom Bar, Mayrics, Saguijo, and Center for Arts to name a few. And to cater the growing number of BOK76 fans and followers, the band’s main website www.bok76.com, was launched on May 2008. The site which includes online ordering also features news update on the band’s gig skeds, music samplers, lyrics and new releases, member profile, and band photos.
