Band Members: Marco (Vocals) Bryce Zialcita (Guitars) Siopao Chua (Guitars) Benny Yap (Bass) Bryan Kong (Drums)
Genre: Electro Pop
The story of Taken By Cars started 10 years ago when 4 unassuming high school kids coming from diverse cultural backgrounds with the same passion for music and a little knack with their musical instruments decided to form a band – Bryce Zialcita (Lead Guitars), Derek "Siopao" Chua (Guitars), Benson Yap (Bass), and Bryan Kong (Drums) were "magkabarkada" since their early elementary days. After years of covering their music gods and lingering on different genres, the band finally found a home when they were introduced to Sarah Marco (Vocals). Today, the band is focused on writing their own music and sharing it to the rest of the world. With elements ranging from their classic rock roots to their passion for modern indie music, Taken By Cars has fabricated an endearing yet daunting sound that will grip you in whichever mood you are in.
By late 2006, after garnering enough material for a 30-minute set, the band took its first steps into the public's eye, as they started playing to an audience in small gigs and productions for the very first time. In February 2008, Taken By Cars released 'A Weeknight Memoir (in High Definition)' on NU107 and it immediately peaked at #1 on the daily countdown. During the course of the year, Taken By Cars has slowly gathered attention, not only to music fans but to fellow musicians as well. The band was named MTV Philippine's Online Artist of the Month of June. In October of the same year, Taken By Cars collaborated with Chicosci for the Jack Daniel's Jack's Mix event (the EP for the Taken By Cars-Chicosci collaboration is in the works and should be out within the year). While doing so, the band has been busy working in the studio recording their full-length debut album with Mong Alcaraz (Sandwich, Chicosci) as producer. The album's carrier single, 'Uh Oh', now playing across the airwaves, reached #1 on NU's daily countdown as well.
The debut album, 'Endings of a New Kind', was released last January 28, 2008 and is currently #7 on the Music One Album Sales chart. With two #1 singles and an album under their belt, Taken By Cars is set to breakthrough in 2008.
