They leave converts in their trail.

Strangers to their music find themselves tapping their feet, rat-aa-ta-ting their fingers, and given enough time, humming to their songs. The gifted are already singing along.

Music, when it’s good, uplifts. When it’s excellent, it transports. And though they’re young and have far to go, yes, there is that distinct stirring sensation when one listens to FATAL POSPOROS. Composed of Kris Gorra (guitars/vocals), Donna Macalino (bass/vocals) and Annette Ortiz (drums/vocals), this three-womened band has in four years built a body of work that is evocative of all of young life’s definitive moment: those of innocence and rude awakening; idyll calm and pissant rage; of earnest and mock seriousness; of the ebb and flow of youth. It’s flirtatious, whimsical, mad and bouyant.

It is this multiplicity of moods and musical perspectives (which includes folk, new wave, rock, alternative, punk, funk and the ‘60s) that resonates in their listeners, that causes that visceral response. It is the fuel to the buzz and blaze slowly gathering around them. You can tell by the invites. They have been featured in NU 107’s Not Radio and In The Raw, shot for a yet-to-be-shown segment of MTV’s Out of the Box, interviewed for a couple of magazines and songhits and had the guts, not to mention, the cheek to front-act such established groups as the Eraserheads, POT, FrancisM, and Parokya ni Edgar in various venues in Metro Manila, Rizal, Laoag, Pampanga, Cavite and Subic.
