After doing an EP Review<\/a> for Indie Pop’s Reese and Vica for their Those Who Wander EP<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>I’m shifting gears on my next review with Alternative Rock’s Talata’s self titled EP. You can read all about the EP Launch here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Composed of musicians who have been in the OPM scene for a long time already; Talata<\/b><\/a> is fronted by Reyg Linao, wife to Kamikazee guitarist Jomal Linao who is also in the band. Which is why tere are many running jokes about the band’s often angry songs as being a reflection of the married couple’s relationship.<\/p>\n

James Joy Linao on Lead Guitar, Anton Lanario on Bass and Dacky Clamor on Drums complete the five piece band based in Manila.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Known for their heavy guitars, raging drum beats and really angry lyrics-and we’re. It talking about cute Taylor Swift break up songs but ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ <\/i>type\u00a0of lyrics.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
In Fed Up the band says:\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Napagod, Nag-sawa, Nanlamig<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Nag bigay ng lahat\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ubos na ang pag-Ibig sayo<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I loved how one of the songs is entitled: “Bugtong” I mean, how many kids out there still know what a Bugtong <\/i>is ? In the song Reyg belts out:\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Ako ang Kasama\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Iba’ng nasa Isip\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ako ang ka-yakap\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ibang panag-inip\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Akin ka, Ika’y sa kanya<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And it’s not all about bad relationships, ex-lovers or douchebag guys not knowing what monogamy means. There’s also a bit of a cat fight in the EP with the song “Margarita” which is about girls who can’t handle a couple of – well – Margaritas.<\/p>\n
