Headed by its lead vocalist Rera Mallari, the new-fangled Johnny Cross Band is proud to say that their band is the modern Juan Dela Cruz Band.
Sounding like the Pinoy Rock of 70's, Johnny Cross has a personnel comprising the nucleus of '90s underground act BalahibumPooza (including Mallari), along with new faces. The group is behind the current radio hit "Bawal Ang Nakasimangot Dito" which is track 5 of its debut album "Subterranean" that also brags the title track, its radio edit version, and the attention-grabbing "Nanginginig Pa." The last they played to open their recent short set at Hard Rock Cafe where they launched their album in front of press people.
In a media junket last October 27, at the Eastwood Mall in Quezon City the American songwriter-pianist and Grammy-nominated music artist, Jim Brickman said that he hopes to work with the Asia's Songbird, Regine Velasquez on his future recordings.
The music artist from Cleveland, Ohio, has been in the country a couple of times already. And with every visit, he was able to work with local music artists-like Megastar Sharon Cuneta, Concert King Martin Nievera, Lea Salonga, Ariel Rivera, and Erik Santos. And aside from these Filipino artists, he also wants to work with Regine.
A new fixation from the band Pupil is now out in the market. "Against the Light: A Pupil Tour Diary" is a new thing from the band.
Recently, the band published the said book which recounts all the band’s experiences these past few years.
The book effortlessly draws the reader in as if listening to a dear old friend relates a story about his travels. Readers may feel that they actually touring with the band. Its tone casual and cool, the band is stripped down to the basics; that is as men who also enjoy eating and relaxing; who get homesick, and get bored, and also take lots of pictures or whatnot.
