NEWS   Junk is not a kick, it is a way of life.

And so we continue to raise our upbeat spirits to the beat of your dancing shoes. Top junk is now 3 yrs. old and the band is learning to get pass being infants. Quite often newfound friends would commend the vibrant dash in our sound but we respond most enthusiastically to mild stroking and caressing, like the toddlers that we are. Top junk has no qualms to massages and warm baths so please feel free to nurse us whenever the need to do so rises. As our appetites grow, we invite you further to move with the accented rhythm, and catch the vigorous shake of a junkie in denial because what we have become is more that we set out to befall. We are now worth a chock-full of stories: mundane and imaginative, seeking for stages to invade your senses. Afterall, junk is the ideal and ultimate merchandise.

top junk plays punk rock with feet tapping twists... an easy equivalent to dancing. (under the influence of controlled stimulants)
Why this name?
there is a certain duality to everything. oxymoron.
tension and bliss... in the end, it's just love.
Do you play live?
we're too sexy for this question.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
every soul gets their 15 minutes of fame
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
come again? where? wha? give me a pen!
Band History:
Junk would be defined as something of little value, a refuse, a clutter of odds and ends discarded, among others. Cliches aside, different people do easily relate to finding treasure in these bits of disposed rubbish for all the reasons afforded by the human mind; and the mere tension (if ever poetic) of coining a phrase like top junk sets another level of interpreting junk in its decent sense. Of doing things that is passionate, why not realize them in the uppermost? Top junk, indeed: a union of different ideas- music, images, portraits and words to mediums of mass communication. Divergent or pop, it strives to define the truths of life and its inevitable marriage to art, and its divorce to the remotely conventional.

top junk is composed of Marizel Sarangelo, Dennis Leung, Tim Panganiban, and Coy Placido: four individuals notorious of daydreaming. Like most gossip shows, their response to how things came about would be a standard liner: well, we started off as friends...

top junk owes its origins to a peculiar video by its founding mad hatter duo Marizel and Coy. The video features the Masked Rider or Kamen Rider, one of the most popular TV franchises in Japan that dates back to the early '70s. Its despondent electronic music portrays an essential inspiration to a spin-off of a self-confessed amateur production. The video highlights the supposed action figure as a superhero doing hallucinogenic struggles with fame and drugs, fleeing from cheap super villains with the help of its elaborate battle armor. By September of 2005, top junk has risen to a phenomenal membership of four. Forming a band out of necessity and lack of good humor, the group has since composed a couple dozens of unadulterated original songs and scorings at least inside their scheming heads. Dennis, fresh of The Inquirer fame remarkably agrees to play the drums, finely equipped with doll monkeys in slick suites. Exploiting the guitar with his teeth and fingers, Tim offers jackyard of jack TV a style of comedy and technical junk, as top junk would expect a junkie to deliver. Their music is upbeat and childlike. These are good qualities associated with youngsters (we would like to call them in an alternate future as junkies). True. The band members cant help but indulge in an enjoyable recollection of the past thinking how much they've grown old, withered, and grayed ok, cynical. Nothing is more sad than the death of an illusion. Realizing how fleeting time is, not in a philosophical manner, the group infuses punk and pop with their dance habits to rejuvenate the crazy bone inside their unseen pet (junkyard dawg, who in his own right, a certified junkie). The rest is still the same. Rehearsals after work ceased at the junkyard in the heart of Q.C., amidst a seemingly posh village lurked the group, where the band concocted their parish contributions. The band although, does have future plans of contributing pop media into the distracted world as soon as you read these words: give them your lovely junk.
