Do you
still remember the Teeth band? If you’re grown up in 90’s and you’re into rock
music, it is impossible that you don’t know them. They are the band behind the
songs like Prinsesa and the national anthem of alcohol drinkers which is
Laklak. Their songs are already a classic in OPM and became favorite choices of
videoke singers out there. Why not? Their lyrics are very powerful and it has a
different style.
If you
also remember, their vocalist Glenn Jacinto was suffering in leukemia, but miracle
happened; he was recovered from that illness and continued his career as a
musician. People noticed that their lyrics were not too aggressive compare to
their first album. That was the time when their song “Shooting Star” was
created and another love song entitled “Tampo”.
It’s
been a long time since the Teeth were disbanded. After their long silence or
absence in Pinoy rock scene. They are having a reunion concert that will be
held at Metro Tent in Metro Walk, Pasig City on May 15, 2014. This will be your
chance to see them performing live. Maybe this is a once in a lifetime event.
After this, we don’t know if they will conduct another reunion concert in the
near future.
The
Teeth were one of my favorite bands when I was a high school student. Before
they entered into mainstream music scene they were first heard in defunct LA
105.9. Alternative bands like them became in demand during 90’s. Their song
speaks for the youth that’s why their songs were full of angst and very
rebellious in nature. Aside from Prinsesa and Laklak, I also like their other
songs like “Stokwa” and “Galit sa Mundo”. I already watched a live performance
of this band and I can say that they are one of the most energetic bands in
Pinoy rock history. They really rocked the crowd with their songs. When Glenn
sang Galit sa Mundo in Cainta Gym, he added a naughty line with his lyrics.
After he sang ‘Sawa ka na ba sa buhay mo?”, he shouted to the crowd, “Ito,
laruin mo titi ko!”
Let us see how the Teeth will bite us through
their music!
