In the Philippine music scene, Eraserheads is often ranked as one of the most successful and most influential bands, paving the way for the second band invasion in the Philippines.
Offen dubbed as "The Beatles of the Philippines," Filipino music fans have experienced a localized version of the Beatlemania called Eraserheadsmania.
In 2002, the lead singer of the band, Ely Buendia, announced his departure from the band after many speculations.
Twenty years later, Ely's made quite a revelation as to why he really left.
In a podcast, Ely explained that the band members were never friends and that the song "Minsan" is not about them.
He said, “I was kind of sick of fans saying 'you're friends, you shouldn't have [broken] up.' They made us feel bad and I was sick of that.”
"That's why we broke up. I mean we weren't Itchyworms, we weren't Parokya ni Edgar."
Despite having multiple awards and sold-out international concerts, Eraserheads had their fair share of ups and downs.
From their critically-acclaimed studio albums to the reason why they broke up, take a look back at the history of Eraserheads.
