Archipelago is a Filipino rock band formed in early 2008 and played its first gig on April 11, 2008, at Club Dredd in Eastwood City, Philippines.
The name Archipelago was chosen as all four members hail from the Philippine Archipelago. This attempt at a somewhat patriotic—though decidedly unspecific—band name later took on a new layer of meaning to describe the band’s sound as one that should be not just for Filipinos but for the rest of the world as well. Besides, as bassist Chad Rialp so eloquently puts it: “The world is, at a distance, an Archipelago.” More information…
