00:07We are Escala!
00:08Thank you for having us today!
00:11Of course, the first song,
00:13the title of it is Balew.
00:17I also also know my friends.
00:19I'll call it Jex Valmonte on bass.
00:24I'm Kel on vocals.
00:27Keith Domagina on tables.
00:30And Mico de la Cruz on drums.
00:33Our first song is the title of Balew.
00:37I wrote this song.
00:39Actually, all of my songs,
00:41or our songs,
00:43I wrote it in Pandemic Days.
00:46There are a lot of things happening.
00:49It's Escala's first time here in Playlist Fam.
00:53So, may mga question po sila sa amin.
00:57Unang question po is,
00:58how do you describe your music in one word?
01:02Ang music namin,
01:03tingin ko,
01:04sarapan lang.
01:06Actually,
01:07sarapan na may konting barkada.
01:09Konting barkada.
01:10Ikaw, Mix?
01:12One word.
01:14Crazy.
01:15Yes, yes, yes.
01:17Ito si Kit.
01:18Ano naman sasabi mo, Kit?

01:37So, ito pong Escala.
01:40Way back, Pandemic Days po.
01:42Nagsusulat na ako niya.
01:43Nagrarap na ako solo as Escala na.
01:46And then, one day,
01:48magkabanda rin kami ni Jek.
01:50So, drummer din pala ako.
01:51Drummer din ako.
01:52Nang ibang bands pa.
01:54Magkabanda kami ni Jek sa isang band.
01:57Narinig niya yung mga songs ko.
01:59Niaya niya akong gawin na itong
02:01full blast band yung mga kanta ko
02:04since naganda naman siya.
02:05Ngayon,
02:06meron kaming gig ni Miko.
02:09Ikasama kami.
