Rizal Underground is
composed of 4 members - Stephen Liu on lead vocals, Angelo Villegas on bass
guitar/vocals, Mike Villegas on guitars/vocals and Harley Alarcon on drums. In
1995, its debut self titled album "Rizal Underground" was released
followed by "Diskaril" - second album in 1996. Though rock music
isn't well known in the Philippines, their 1st album was released during a time
of a burgeoning rock movement (things run in fads here), and Rizal Underground
album yielded several hits and contributed a great deal to rock's popularity at
the time. Diskaril is a fine, solid album, but as a follow-up it lacks the
immediate charm compared to their first Album.
