You hear the wailing siren from a distance and it immediately sends your adrenaline levels shooting up. From behind your car, the sing-song scream gets louder as the vehicle speeds closer. Then, you realize you aren’t being tailed by the cops but by an emergency vehicle. You let it pass you, and you relax a little as you slow down and watch it speed away. Then, just like a slap in the face out of nowhere, it rams head-on to a brick wall. Up goes the adrenaline once again as the applause and the roar of the crowd help bring sense into this awesome spectacle. The scene fades out with a huge roar from the audience as the members of the band start unplugging their guitars and gets off the stage. Oh... so it's ust another Crash Ambulance gig. Quite the oxymoron, Crash Ambulance is actually just your average, boys n' d' hood-next-door kind of band that thrives for musical variety and does not lock themselves to just one particular genre.. “If we feel like doing a song which somehow alienates ourselves from our musical direction, Hell, then why not go for it?” says lead vocalist/ bassist Pepper Diao. “It's all about the feel, actually" Each CA band member hails from different contact centers based here in Metro Manila. So just imagine how they juggle both call center work with the rock-and-roll lifestyle, so it must be really heavy and taxing to stay awake most of the time, doesn't it? Twenty-five-hour days make up most of the urban owls’ lifestyle, so how did they find each other to form the band? Simple. Pepper, along with guitarists Luigi Figueroa and Earl Calunsod, and drummer Erickson Cerezo all hail from the same high school. The drummer came up with the name to sound “cool, heavy, and fast with a sense of urgency. Ah high school. The glory days. Back when you listened to anyone and everyone. Those days when your confused record collection consisted of CDs and cassette tapes (classic) by KISS, Wolfgang, Aerosmith, Bob Marley with some VST & Co. and RJ and the Riots thrown in. The perfect time to start a rock band. This current lineup is already a product of the test of time. Lineup changes left and right , musical style and direction blurs from one form to the next, but the drive has never gone from them. The journey up the rickety ladder of rockstardom has just begun, but these boys have already started to rattle those rungs. Crash Ambulance hails from Lourdes School Of Mandaluyong, Philippines. Featuring an All-Alumni ensemble: Christopher "Pepper" Diao on bass & lead vocals Erickson "Kosa" Cerezo on drums/ percussions Earl Calunsod on guitars Luigi Figuerroa on guitars.
