History

In 1995, rock band Advent Call, which had formed in the mid-'80s, released its debut album, Alterednatives, issued on the Neo Records label of independent Viva Music Group. The album yielded a major radio hit in the campy, rock-inflected reworking of a song popular decades ago in the Philippines, "Memories (Of Our Dreams)," then performed by crooner Eddie Peregrina. Advent Call's version of the song has its share of campy crooning as well, but also runs through several tempo and style changes, including quick, ska-like passages and even an instrumental paraphrase of the 1960s BatmanTV series theme. There are a variety of styles heard on the album, including the metal-sounding "Palakasan" (Whoever Is Strong); an instrumental, "Ang Theme," which features attractive, searing electric guitar played over tender acoustic picking; and the piano-based "Naghihintay" (Waiting), on which vocalist Basha sings emotively. Despite the diversity, there is nothing particularly special about these songs, and most of them are unable to hold a listener's attention for long.

There was a story on the web that when the band was singing Puting Ilaw live, there is a spotlight stalking the vocalist. The band drew mainstream status with the two songs. Puting Ilaw was an enchanting rock ballad while their Eddie Pelegrina cover was just a fun song to sway your hips at. The band has since returned to the spotlight with a female vocalist and an entirely different look and feel (the Henry guy is the only remaining original member of the band).

No other pop band comes close to Aegis when it comes to establishing that certain hook with audiences. From north to south, east to west, all over the Philippines and possibly, beyond, Aegis music connects with the largest number of audiences.
There is a feeling of oneness with Aegis among those who are touched by Aegis' songs. With all their high notes, bravura performances and tons of sentiments. Aegis' songs click because they pierce right into our hearts, awakening the Filipino innate sense of melodrama, drawing both empathy and sympathy. Making them a true expression of the Filipino spirit.

History

Aegis has released seven albums over its career that have consistently made the Gold and Platinum marks beginning with Halik, Mahal na Mahal Kita, Awit at Pag-Ibig, Paskong-Pasko and Ating Balikan. They also released a mind-boggling remix collection of Aegis' hits entitled Ating Sayawin. The band is also responsible for hits such as "Luha" and "Halik." Clearly, this is one band that has survived the rigors of the Philippine music industry with flying colors.

Since they started in 2000, this band which is actually made up of siblings had strong support from Filipino masses who quickly identified with them and the sound they created. One would not mistake an Aegis song. The band effectively brands a song through their guitar riffs and the belting voices of the vocalists.

The phenomenal success of Aegis band can be attributed to two factors- their genuine talent and the strong recall of their songs.Almost everyone in your neighborhood, be it young or old, I bet is familiar with songs like Halik or Luha. The earthshaking voices of Aegis' lead vocalists are just too mighty not to be noticed in a pop-rock arena.
The Aegis audiences are always mesmerized by the incredible lung-power of sisters Juliet and Mercy Sunot. The two have been with the group since they started originally as AG's Soundtrippers (the letters A and G being their manager's initials). They later changed into Aegis in 1998 as agreed upon by the band manager & Alpha Records. Apart from the two sisters, keyboardist Stella Galindo is also the sister of the band's manager Lito. While his (Lito's) wife, Josie, is Rey's sister. This 'connection' perhaps explains why their relationship has never been shaken despite the intrigues and politics in showbiz.
