"Isa kang Batang 90's kung may mga alam kang albums na produced ng Tone Def Records."
When we talk about revolution, we talk of a dramatic and wide-reaching change. So why would Ivory Records release a compilation album with “rock revolution” in its title? The answer is simple, the two-volume CD compilation is a collection of some of the best songs produced by Tone Def in the years 1994 to 1997.
For those who have already forgotten, Tone Def is one of the record labels which surfaced during the Nineties and supported the independent music scene. If your band that time is not that “pop”, you cannot make it to major recording companies catering to the mainstream audience. If you’re not pop, then you are the alternative. Hence, “alternative music” became a growing trend.
Outside the country, grunge is the music revolution happening at Seattle in the early 90's. At the same time, the local scene was also cooking up their own version which will later be known as “Pinoy Alternatib”. There were a lot of bands emerging and it was evident in their music that the Nineties is destined to become the Golden Age of Pinoy bands. Of course, we are still grateful to the roots that influenced them.
