Huling Sigaw sa Motorista
Bonifacio Republic calls their music “Dirty Rock N’Roll”. They’ve been in the scene for quite sometime now. Formed in 2010, the band intially called themselves as “Proyekto” was inspired by plethora of music ranges from Juan Dela Cruz, Urban Bandits, Helmet, TSOL , Circle Jerks and Nirvana to name a few. And has since released an EP titled “Unang Sigaw” back in 2017.
The band has since undergone numerous member changes with Singer Aldwin Tolosa the only remnant of the original line up..
However the band has kept their music aggressivr and the grit and angst of their music that they were known for , the band definitely never lost its touch.
And last night was a testament to that.. Bonifacio was a Band On A Mission. Their set was intense and reminded us, the message the bands are trying to impart as much as we are having fun. They played songs from their EP, tracks like “Magnanakaw” and “Woodman”, and a cover of The Jerks classic “Reklamo” .. It was amazing how the people keep up with such high intensity up to this point, everybody was obviously having a f*** hell of a great time.
And before everything comes to an end, Aldwin introduced this Reggae group, whose name temporarily escaped my mind to close the set with a few classic Reggae covers from Trop Dep. As everyone went to a dancing frenzy, including myself .
It was indeed one heck of a night of music and catching up ..
