The Out of Body Special
By LARA DAY The Out of Body Special Can anybody in Asia funk harder than these Filipinos? At the moment, we think not

Article ToolsPrintEmailSphereAddThis RSSYahoo! Buzz "The OBS, a brand new flavor/ doing you a favor/ stereotype breaker," raps front man Carlos "Los" Magno, 23, on the Out of Body Special's debut album, Is Love, released in November 2007. Those are sentiments that have been expressed countless times in an industry where practically every new entrant claims to be offering something new, but with OBS' compelling fusion of genres (rock, deep funk, soul, R&B, jazz and latin) to back him up, it appears Magno's boast might have a ring of truth — at least in the otherwise predictable world of Asian hip-hop.

Formed in 2004 at Ateneo de Manila University, the OBS cites a myriad of influences: Magno's musical heroes span Babyface to Tupac, drummer Ted Mark Cruz, 25, veers toward funk and latin styles, guitarist Patrick Co, 23, and percussionist Diego Beltran, 24, grew up on grunge, while saxophonist Garon Honasan, 27, and guitarist Martin Veerayah, 23, both love heavy metal.

The Out of Body Special - Asia's Best Bands - TIME


So who listens to them here?
I love Sexy Beast and Give It, so far. I still need to see if I can find their album in cebu considering they're indie or else we can get it from Manila?
