THE BAND :
Working on soprano Beverly Sills’ assumption that “You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.” At the beginning, Pumping Pluto was prepared for the worst possible catastrophe their band would encounter, as long as they could say they had no regrets if they didn’t even try to make it big in the music industry.

KJWAN burst onto the Philippine music scene in 2003, when the local rock music scene had forgotten who it was originally and people were almost afraid to listen. Still, they came down hard, raw, in your face, with the release of their self titled debut album (in 2004) and coined the now-familiar catchphrase, “Bastusan na!” Their hit song, “Daliri,” became an anthem to a new generation of rock listeners and being true to yourself became the order of the day.
