The number one suspect

I was really rocked by this band's sound. A fusion of progressive rock with a touch of heavy metal.Whenever their tune enters my eardrums, I start to bang my head. With the band's deep lyrics and heavy sounding melody, they managed to enter the stage of pinoy rock scene. Also known as the "SUPER BAND" of the pinoy rock, they popularized some rock songs with rastafarian messages behind each word. Songs such as "Song for the suspect" and "Touch the sky". I also snap at a poster of Bob Marley in one of their music videos "Castaway" proving that the ragga king is one of their musical influences. They are pinoy rock scene's number one suspect in terms of  distinct sound and music genre I even called as RASTA-ROCK. They are "INYODUBQUESO NI EDGAR" *laughs* kiddin' they are FRANCO.


HISTORY:
Franco started as a collaboration project between its members, who are veterans of the Pinoy rock scene. However, Franco's roots are traced from the Cebu-based band Frank, which Reyes formed in 1996. Frank was one of the bands that boosted the Cebu rock scene, In late 2008, Gabby Alipe, Mendoza, Toleran and Meneses collaborated with Reyes, who returned to the Philippines, to form Franco.
