Philippines (2002 – 2007)
Narda formed in the Philippines in 2002 with the simple goal of being able to write songs and share them with anyone who cared to listen. Having cultivated a humble fan base and a reputation as one of the best unsigned bands around, Narda has released four EPs and their first full-length album Formika (which drew raves from Pinoy rock music insiders) all under the bands flagship indie label Ponkan Music. They released their follow-up album ‘Discotillion’ in 2006.
It all started with the pioneering core of drummer Ryan Villena, frontwoman Katwo Librando, bassist Wincy Ong (previously on guitars) and guitarists JV Javier and Ed Ibarra. Ryan, Katwo, JV and Wincy were previously in the band Lilian together with Yan Yuzon of PUPIL.
By October 2002, Narda had recorded their first EP “A Postcard From” composed of four tracks. Then on December 13, 2002 — to dispel all bad luck on a Friday the 13th — the band released its second EP aptly titled “Suwerte” also containing four songs. By this time, Narda had definitely defined its sound as a band, the buzz was definitely out and the band was gaining a steady fanbase.
Over Christmas vacation of 2002, Narda recorded their stripped-down acoustic EP called “Burador”, experimenting with sparse arrangements, mean backwards guitars and string arrangements. It was released in early 2003 containing four songs.

Discotillion was catchy as heck but looking back after a couple of years, it really pales in comparison with Formika and the EPs.
