Throw - BeLIEve



I'm gonna re-do this one cause the first description I did is fucked. 

 One of the best local underground punk full length release the 2000's has to offer. the third full length from hardcore punk supergroup Throw.  This is the first one I was exposed too and also my absolute favorite(it also helps that I was so amazed by their set I bought stuff from them and got it signed immediately)

 the production is crisp,clear and perfect for a punk record. I can't stress enough how all the songs are "very" catchy and anthemic, 11 tracks of  fast,melodic and aggressive at the same time hardcore punk. the pissed off vocal delivery of sir Al Dimalanta(guitar/vocals) never faltered over the years and his ability to switch from his classic snarling pissed off vocal delivery to his melodic tendencies without damaging the hardcore integrity of this release is astonishing  the guitar solos has a very rock and roll feel to it and the drummer's stamina is noteworthy as well , classic. I recommend every single one of Throw's release to any punker that likes 80's american hardcore punk.

Bio:
 Throw was conceived in November 2000 by Al Dimalanta (vocalist, guitar player, and songwriter of the 80s hardcore group Dead Ends) and Dennis Maniego (former bass player of the punkabilly outfit Private Stock). Al and Dennis recruited Ojie Arcega and Bimboi San Pedro, drummer and guitar player, respectively, of a Bulacan-based hardcore band called T.S.A.
 The band came up with a self-titled debut album in 2002. fast forward 2007. The band recruited Albert Ascona (ex- NoFuckingMorals and Gut Reaction and now guitarist for bands like The Beauty of Doubt, Bad Omen, Granada and Music Front) when Bimboi went to work in Singapore. Later they asked the 16 year old nephew of Al Dimalanta named Spyk to try out the drums when Ojie followed in Singapore. These new recruits round up the new THROW line up.
