Hale is an alternative rock band from the southern part of Metro Manila composed of Champ Lui Pio, Roll Martinez, Sheldon Gellada, and Paolo Santiago. This four rock alternative outfit collected themselves at the core of one goal to reach out the listening crowd and make them understand the value of the musical sincerity. From the start, all they really wanted was to musically express themselves and be heard by evrybody. But they didn’t expect on the massive chart-topping power of their sounds that conquer a new pop rock genre they’ve coined melodrama.
The mid-tempo ballad The Day You Said Goodnight, which served as their first single for their first and self-titled album, have massively dominated the local charts and wowed a crowd largely comprising college kids even before the release of their first album. Their self-titled album under EMI Music Philippines had already given an impressive record sales and radio airplay since its release in May 2005 and turned Platinum record in August and Double Platinum in November 2005. Second single followed with KAHIT PA and KUNG WALA KA came next.
Hale have conquered 2005 with songs that gladly scaled the heights of radio charts, music channel charts and stage performances across the nation as that first single THE DAY YOU SAID GOODNIGHT hold its lock at no.1 and endeared the band to both critics and listeners alike.
History
