Into Flare's Brand of Indie Rock

Facebook

Into Flare is an indie rock group from the city of Tanauan in Batangas. This band is a good addition to the growing indie scene in Batangas. Despite of being a new comer their recorded material is impressive. We will make sure to make a review of their upcoming EP as soon we get the copy. Having influenced by a lot of J-Rock bands expect their songs to be catchy and melodic. For the meantime visit their Facebook page for more info about the band. You can stream some songs from their upcoming ep here. For sure you'll love it.

Mellow Del Prado - V Necks And Neckties

Some old release from our friends in San Pablo City, Laguna. Mellow del Prado is one of my favorite band back in the days. Thanks to Jade for sharing this link to us so you can download and listen to their songs. V Necks and Neckties is a full length release with  some songs coming from their EP "Pretending We're Actors" released in 2002. I definitely recommend specially if you didn't got the chance to see them perform live back in the days.

Aya Skate Park

First, congratulations to Aya Skate Park. Finally a real skate park at the heart of Batangas. 

I was really stoked when I heard that there is a skate park being built at the town San Jose in Batangas. It is the country's first dedicated concrete skate park. Though the park is only on its first stage, it is now open to the public and to our skaters. Entrance fee is only 50 bucks, very affordable to any visitor.

Haven't been to the park yet, but the pictures from their website is promising. Local and nearby province skaters, bmx riders and inline skaters will benefit a lot from this park in enhancing their skills. Our skaters can have the luxury to enjoy riding without being harassed by security guards or other people. The park is also accessible and its like an hour drive from Manila via SLEX and Star Tollway.

According to their website, the park is on its Stage - 1 and have corner concrete quarter-pipe, a friendly 5-meter-long stair/ramp hand rail, wooden half-pipe, grinding rails, fun box/ wedge ramp, slack-line, and outdoor rappelling. Stage 2 of the project will feature bowls, 3-step, 4-step, snake line, ledges and other street elements.

There is also a camping ground if you want to spend the night at the park and enjoy the beauty of nature.

I just hope we can also set some local D.I.Y gigs on this skate park as well in the future.
