Fig is a Filipino rock-alternative group.

Early life

It was an exam week of the second semester of the school year 2003 when four students of the same management block decided to form a band. With a fusion of diverse personalities, Fig was born.

The name of the band derives from the synthesis of their sections when they were in high school. It was then started out as Fignewton, & later on turn to Fig for a catchier & shorter name. Fig is composed of Cong, vocals, songwriter, Jay Angeles on lead guitars, Beng Castro on bass, and France Concio, the drummer.

Coming out from various influences, they describe their music as all at once raw, all at once angsty, all at once sentimental. Their melody is all drawn from personal experiences complemented by their icon, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Incubus, Beatles.

Fig has just released their album entitled "Siklo". The album title refers to an acknowledgement of life's cycles. The themes reflect the questions, struggles, acceptance and experiences of diverse successions and the emotions that come along with it. Songs like Linya and Maaari which basically reflect longing that comes out from separation. Hey Michelle and P.I.N. deal with fears and hopes that they encounter during significant transitions. They also experience despair and angst with songs like Interchange and Chubibo which reveal traces of acceptance. There is also hope and a strong sense of need that can be seen in songs such as Pag Asa and Walang Sinasanto.

The band is currently preparing for their radio tour and bar gigs to promote their album.

gollark: Neat. I'm vaguely interested in ham radio, but haven't actually done anything ham-radio-y, since I'm quite lazy and the nearest clubs are quite far away.

gollark: I also used it to pick up ADS-B a bit, but it wasn't massively interesting since I had a not-very-optimized antenna and hadn't got a high-up outdoorsy spot for it.

gollark: Probably.

gollark: It's not very hard. There's software for it already.

gollark: Yes, which you can decode pretty easily.
