About Me: PROFILE: It is not rare to complain on a daily basis; to some, ranting is more habitual, and perceived by some as a negative trait. In retrospect, complaining can become a very strong and positive tool when used the right way-That is exactly what REKLAMO is doing, they are complaining for change. REKLAMO is... LC de Leon – Vocals and guitars Marco de Leon – Bass and back-up vocals Ciro de Leon- Drums, cowbell, whistle, and back-up vocals It’s been over a year since the band started and getting serious with their careers. Having singles out, videos, and an album produced independently-Thanks to CREATIVE Singapore, their shirt sponsor TOASTED and brand new tie up DRAVEN shoes. The three piece all brother band of LC de Leon- guitar/vocals Marco de Leon- bass and Ciro de Leon- drums with their manager Amy Rosalyn has managed to put everything together in regards to producing an album independently. The album titled “BITCH FOR CHANGE” which album packaging is made out of denim twill has been regarded as one of the most uniquely designed albums. The band’s mentality of “DIY” or “do-it-yourself if no one will do it for you” mentality has been sufficiently progressive. “We go hands on with everything as in everything from mixing our songs to designing our album cover etc,” As said by front man LC de Leon. The band greatly shares a lot of their frustrations, hate, and also their joys in writing their songs, most of which are all balled up as complaints (hence the name Reklamo)… for change! As the bands mantra exudes in all their songs. But regardless of everything that the band can complain about, REKLAMO is one of the easiest bands to work with. The bands songs make hard hitting points socially and they intentionally stray away against political issues, songs that deal with traffic signs that run amok in our daily lives as their song “Lahat Bawal” goes- “No u turn! No left! No Right turn! No straight. And other songs that focus on the common man’s daily frustrations. Reklamo is now more focused than ever to reach their goals and to try to spread the word that bitching isn’t all bad as long as you do something about it. “Bitch for change!” as the album title and with songs like “I Am My Own Bestfriend”, “Katas Ni Ungas”, and “I Hate Everybody”, the band is certainly going to hit some targets as these underdogs have their bite as strong as their bark.
