Coy and Hannah are the group's chief composers. sessiOnroad's music showcases a fusion of different genres—rock music, pop music, alternative rock, blues, reggae, soul music, and mainstream.

The band's first album was produced by Grace Nono and Bob Aves under Star Records. It was the release of the first single SUNTOK SA BUWAN, from their second album of the same title and produced by Alpha Records in September 2004, that gained for sessiOnroad a lot of recognition from the listening public. The song topped the charts in almost all major radio stations in Manila for two straight weeks since it started airplay. Suntok sa Buwan was nominated song of the year for 2004. "Blanko" a meditative song about emptiness, from their 2006 album "bakit hindi?"(why not?), won the band's Awit Award Best Music Video under the people's choice category in 2007.[1]

gollark: It doesn't do metadata yet.
gollark: ABR is of course AutoBotRobot, my Discord bot. It has its own OIR™ feature, and so it connects to icecast to pull a relatively current stream.
gollark: The Random Stuff API also connects to *this*, for reasons (it used to do more with this, but that got split out into ircsysmon), and broadcasts the current track into a dedicated #o channel also bridged to the Test 2 Discord guild, which a bunch of my stuff runs in.
gollark: Onto the other bits of the diagram. ngircd is an IRC server, and the osmarks.net instance of this participates in APIONET.
gollark: It was actually on caddy for quite a while, but v2 annoyed me, so I went back to nginx.
