One Music PH Team

<p>Cebuano rock titans <a href="~/"><u><strong>Urbandub</strong></u></a> cement their place in the ever-evolving OPM soundscape as they commemorate 20 years of activities as a band. Formed in 2000, Urbandub is regarded as the &quot;Giant Sound of the South” with their heavy, pedal-anchored riffs, heart-thumping beats, and lyrics that resonate with multiple generations of listeners, several of whom have gone on to form their own bands that rule the Pinoy music scene today. To celebrate the band’s incredible run, they have worked with <a href="~/"><u><strong>Warner Music Philippines</strong></u></a> to bring their entire discography online.</p><p>Last August, the band released their debut album <a href="~/"><u><em><strong>Birth</strong></em></u></a> on digital streaming platforms. Along with the digital release is a reimagined version of the said album called <a href="~/"><u><em><strong>Rebirth</strong></em></u></a>. In an intimate press conference held in Cebu City, the band stated that <em>Rebirth</em> was their envisioned sound for the debut album when they started making music. <a href="~/"><u><strong>Urbandub</strong></u></a> re-recorded the entire album at <a href="~/"><u><strong>Tower of Doom</strong></u></a>, while the entire band produced the album alongside ToD&#x27;s <strong>Eric Perlas, Macoy Manual</strong>, and <strong>Symoun Durias</strong>.</p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pXx_G9e8F6g?si=MR5k5IQzgjFy5YUf" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p>Fast forward to November 10, <strong>Urbandub</strong>’s critically-acclaimed sophomore breakthrough album <strong><a href="~/"><u><em>Influence</em></u></a> </strong>- packed with hits such as <a href="~/"><u><strong>“Soul Searching”</strong></u></a>, <a href="~/"><u><strong>“Sailing”</strong></u></a>, and the award-winning track <a href="~/"><u><strong>“A New Tattoo”</strong></u></a>, was released on digital streaming platforms. <strong>Jett Galindo</strong> of <strong>Bakery LA</strong> breathed new life into the album by remastering all tracks, all in preparation for a vinyl release courtesy of <a href="~/"><u><strong>Backspacer Records</strong></u></a>.
