“We have traded our screams to melodies” -Jamir Garcia-
www.Slapshock.com Jamir Garcia - vocalist Jerry Basco - guitarist Lean Ansing - guitarist Lee Nadala - bassist Chi Evora - drummer Slapshock is one of the premier rapmetal bands of the Philippines. The band was signed in 1998, when rapmetal acts were being signed left and right by the major recording companies. Six years into the business, it can be safely said that Slapshock is no flash in the pan. To date, they are the only band amongst those signed during that particular genre's boom that is still visible and active. While most acts have gone back to the “underground,” Slapshock now has four major albums to their name. Whilst the band entered the business playing rapmetal, the members are influenced by a lot of rock sub-genres: Grunge, Metal, and glam, to name a few. It is upon hearing Rage Against the Machine that all the members of Slapshock all connected at the same time and decided that yes, they want to do something as prolific as Rage. Slapshock’s debut album, “4th Degree Burn” was released in November 1999. “Agent Orange,” the first single off the album, presented a very crunchy but still catchy type of rapmetal. Follow up singles, “Evil Clown” and “Sick Curtain” proved Slapshock’s craftsmanship and talent. Their second album, “Headtrip” proves there is no such thing as a sophomore jinx for Slapshock. Released in 2001, “Headtrip” earned for the band a Platinum award. With songs like “Get Away,” “Shezzo Wicked,” and “Purple,” the band easily established themselves away from the growing rapmetal crowd. It is with their third album, “Project 11/41,” that the band earned both commercial and critical acclaim. Four singles were released from the set, proving the strength and power of a Slapshock song. The band soon released a remix album, “Back To The 2 Inch,” which contained creative and innovative remixes of their songs. Famed and respected local artists such as Raymund Marasigan (Eraserheads, Sandwich), Anton Ramos (Chillout Project series), and Rico Blanco (Rivermaya), collaborated with Slapshock. This year, Slapshock releases their fourth studio album, “Novena.” The album displays impressive growth amongst the musicians, as well as matured songwriting and arranging. No longer caged in the “rapmetal” category, Slapshock explores different genres like Latin and Japanese music, a bit of reggae, and jazz as well. It is hard to brush aside a band as talented and hard working as Slapshock. Never negligent nor lenient, the band continues to grow, experiment, and mature. As such, Slapshock continues to make believers and fans of regular listeners and casual audiences.

Lyrics
God exists 360 degrees Like unsolved mysteries your mind's tortured by demonic beast It's so fatal no instrumental they hit your central nervous system You die without a funeral for real My eyes still exist with a terror Living without the guide of my father Everyday is like a war we're going through Agent orange man yo is coming after you So get cut like ninja movie with a drama All the way from Hong Kong straight up to China Who needs yah chigidycheck with the mistah The devil talkin on the fuckin speaker You lay back you push back you turn back you pull back Save the fuckin day like yo master kojak As the clock tigiditac you be runnin like a maniac You be talking shit up Well I just think you suck +chorus+ Agent Orange get up get up get up Agent Orange come up come up come up Agent Orange get up get up get up Agent Orange you gotta get up yo Agent Orange get up get up get up Agent Orange come up come up come up Agent Orange get up get up get up You gotta get up yo It's the year 99 come and don't waste time I'm just a young man oh boy spittin rhymes I shine the pain's penetrating to my spine Unexplainable it can't be defined They're hating me stabbing me playing me Still I deal with the hate of the enemy I'm hunted by fear when you speak and you mimic Terrorize my mind like I'm Johnny Mnemonic Explode like atomic deadly with the technic Dance to a song even though without the music So diggidy slide diggidy jump watch the way I flow We all gonna die if you mess with the crow So get victimized when you close your eyes Hit one two and you mesmerize Surprise I never tell you lies muthafucka rise Before they televise get wise (+chorus+) I close my eyes, I close my mind, and still I burn inside (4x) Look away, look away, and still I burn inside (4x) (+chorus+)
