Taguig City’s pop punk band, Bad Chase released their debut single ‘Long Way Home’.

Our team is glad to have an exclusive interview with Bad Chase’s frontman Edmark Campos as he talks about the band’s latest single and their future plans.

Finite: Hi Bad Chase. Please tell us about your debut single “Long Way Home”.

Edmark: “Long Way Home” is the third song that we wrote last year around October. Actually, puro kame plano na magrrecording kame, natuloy lang kase aalis na yung bassist namen (Kevin Cayanan) pupunta na siyang Japan for work. Sumakto pa nga sa title yung set up namen kase sobrang layo na niya sa family niya ngayon. Eto na din ‘yung naging pabaon namen sa kanya.

Finite: What was the inspiration behind it?

Edmark: It’s about love, life and regrets. Pauwe ako neto from work. Sobrang down ko noong mga panahon na yon so I decided to walk from buendia to san andres bukid (malayo pero bearable hahahaha). Alam nyo ‘yung feeling na kapag magisa ka, lahat ng pag o-overthink gagawin mo? Ganon ‘yung dating. Nilagay ko sa kanta yung nararamdaman ko ‘nung araw na yon, about everything that’s bothering me. For us, Long Way Home is a feeling.

Finite: How does the songwriting work primarily on this new song?

Edmark: Una talaga ‘yung melody pag nagsusulat kami ng kanta tapos saka namin lalapatan ng lyrics. Sobrang special netong kantang to kase isang upuan lang. Paguwi ko galing sa isang malupet na lakaran pauwi ng bahay namen haha. Tapos nagjam kame ng weekend na ‘yon sabay lapat ng ibang parts, Ayun! Chaaaaraaaan! Nakatulong din talaga ng malaki ‘yung Saturnine Audio sa pagbuo ng debut single namen.

Finite: Can we expect more releases from Bad Chase this year?

Edmark: Yes. We have 2 other songs na irrecord and hopefully matapos namen yung mga ibang kanta na pending para makapag buo kame ng ep this year yun ‘yung goal talaga namen ngayong taon

Finite: Any advice to all aspiring musicians?

Edmark: Sabe nga ni sir Raymund Marasigan, “go out and form a band”. Bumuo ka na as in now na pagkabasa mo nito. I-share mo ‘yung talento mo sa madla. Bigyan mo ng time ang pag ppractice. Lastly, alagaan nyo mga sarili nyo. Huwag kayong maglalakad ng napakalayo kung may pamasahe naman kayo haha.

Long Way Home is now available in all digital music platforms.
