Slapshock’s latest record under EMI Records compiles the band’s greatest gems—all withstanding the test of shifting trends and fads. Frontman Jamir Garcia seconded Lee’s claims by rationalizing the need to look back and gather all the songs that defined Slapshock for the fans and the local industry as a whole.
Slapshock is one of the premier rapmetal bands of the Philippines. The band was signed in 1998, when rapmetal acts were being signed left and right by the major recording companies. Six years into the business, it can be safely said that Slapshock is no flash in the pan. To date, they are the only band amongst those signed during that particular genre’s boom that is still visible and active. While most acts have gone back to the “underground,” Slapshock now has four major albums to their name.
