The Wuds


The Wuds were among the first and most influential punk rock bands in the Philippines. They formed in the 1983 during a time of economic woes and political unrest, which fueled the burgeoning underground punk scene. Along with bands like Third World Chaos, Philippine Violators, Betrayed, and Dead Ends, The Wuds played a significant role in shaping the punk rock landscape in the Philippines.
Their music often featured a blend of punk rock and folk influences, and they were known for their political sound. Despite limited mainstream acceptance and radio airplay, they found loyal support from independent labels like Twisted Red Cross and exposure through events like the Brave New World concerts.

Album career

The Wuds released a long-waited debut album, "At Nakalimutan Ang Diyos", in 1994. Raw and uncompromising, "At Nakalimutan Ang Diyos" makes The Wuds’ status as one of the Philippines’ true punk rock bands. Two years later, the group recorded "Gera", an intense record with powerful social and political commentary. The anti-war track "Ang Umibig Sa 'Yo" became a hit on Philippine alternative radio stations. In 1997, the Wuds released "Nakaupo Sa Puso".
