Hammilan: Rocking without the drugs

Yugel Losorata

Alternative rock artist Hammilan goes against the norm that rock stars are druggies.

His usually "energized" performance is not a result of illegal substance, he declared.

"Ako po’y madalas mapagkamalang adik ever since nagbanda ako. Siguro the way I perform ay dala ng energy na na-develop ko dahil sa pagtugtog. ‘Yung yung passion na meron ako at nais kong ibahagi sa inyo," he shared.

Hammilan did a number of songs in a bar in Eastwood in Libis on the day Rudy Fernandez passed away.

He relayed his important message as singer-songwriter, "We’re trying to promote a drug-free youth especially sa mga rakista na laging napagdududahang adik."

The 30-year-old talent just released his band’s 10-track album "Diskarte" courtesy of new label Icon Records International.

Part of the proceeds of the sales of the album will go to charity. A prolific songwriter whose vault has given him enough material for two more albums, Hammilian is actually a comebacking artist since he withdrew from the music scene after his debut solo album ‘May Nakakatawa Ba Sa Akin?" was launched in 2000.

Four years prior to that, he got his first taste of certified recording as frontman of Bicol-based band Blah whose album "Lansag" was released by Warner Music. He has this old track with the memorable hook line "Nakiki-amoy ka lang…" which when you hear you will say, ‘so he sung that song."

"Hindi naman lahat ng songwriters nakakagawa dahil siya’y inspired o mayroon siyang kasalukuyang nararamdaman. Minsan po bunga ito ng malikot na imahinasyon lamang kaya ganito ang kinalabasan ng aking mga kanta," he told the audience.

Hammilan is backed by bandmates Glenn Labung (lead guitar), JC Niño (rhythm guitar), Jett Tejones (bass) and Darrel Gaffud) drums.He is being handled by a celebrity friend, Zoren Legazpi.

Hammilan’s ‘Diskarte’

“Diskarte” is the new album by singer-songwriter Hammilan.

Formerly the frontman of the Bicol-based group Blah and whose debut solo CD “Halo-Halo” is now considered a cult classic, Hammilan wrote, arranged, produced and performed the 10 songs in “Diskarte” with help from members of his new backup band.

The album, which also features a remake of “Gandang Kupas” from the Blah album “Lasngag” and “Friend” from “Halo-Halo,” was launched with a live performance recently at Blue Onion in Eastwood City.
