Eraserheads (sometimes stylized as ERASƎRHEADS) is a Filipino rock band formed in 1989. Consisting of Ely Buendia, Marcus Adoro, Buddy Zabala, and Raimund Marasigan.

They played mostly covers, doing gigs in schools, and playing at Manila's rock club circuit, achieving little success. The band found that they were not good at playing covers, so they concentrated on writing their own material.[3] Their new, original songs, played live, soon earned them a cult following in the university, which gradually spread outside the campus. One of the songs, a pop song entitled, "Pare Ko", became popular, partly because of lyrics that included a few obscenities. The band recorded a nine- song demo tape in the garage of Marasigan's provincial home (in Candelaria, Quezon) on January 6, 1.

They then shopped the demo cassette around record labels, clubs and radio stations, hoping to have their songs reach the public. However, they were rejected at every turn, with one recording label deeming that their demo was "not pop enough". In May 1. 99. 1, a professor- friend teaching Humanities, Robin Rivera, helped them re- record and mix better versions of the demo songs on a four- track DAT recorder. The new demo was named Pop- U!, titled as an irreverent response to those who turned them down. Meanwhile, Buendia became employed as a student copywriter by BMG Records (Pilipinas) Inc. Sony BMG Music Entertainment). He worked with BMG during the day and wrote songs with the band during the night.

Eventually, the songs of Buendia and the band caught the attention of BMG A& R director Vic Valenciano. Valenciano listened to the songs and then commented that they were very raw technically, but that there was something promising in them. Subsequently, BMG gave Eraserheads' songs a try.[1] In 1. BMG signed up the band for a three- year record deal.

Mainstream success[edit]In July 1. Eraserheads started recording their debut album called Ultraelectromagneticpop![5] The album featured "Pare Ko" (My Friend), "Toyang" and "Tindahan ni Aling Nena" (The Store of Aling Nena), all of which were also present in Pop- U![6] The album also featured a sanitized version of "Pare Ko" called "Walang Hiyang Pare Ko".[7] Later in the same year, BMG initially released 5,0. The album became a smash hit, with the songs "Ligaya", "Pare Ko" and "Toyang" topping the charts that, by the end of the year, BMG sold 3. Ultraelectromagneticpop!

Eraserheads released a follow- up album entitled Circus.[5] The band said that the album aptly described their life since their debut. The album was unpredictable and unconventional compared to the OPMballads at that time, and established the band members as songwriters and musicians. The songs varied in style and mood, ranging from euphoric and hilarious to tender and somber.[8] In the same year, Eraserheads played during the Miss Universe Pageant which was held in Manila.[citation needed]Four of the songs became successive hits: "Kailan" (When), "Magasin" (Magazine), "Alapaap" (Clouds) and "With a Smile".[1.

In August 1. 99. 5, Senator Tito Sotto, who was involved in an anti- drug campaign at that time, called for a ban on the airplay and sales of "Alapaap" over an alleged promotion of drug abuse in the lyrics of the song.[5][8] In response, Eraserheads denied the allegation, saying that it was just a misinterpretation, and that the song was the band's "ode to freedom", not an "ode to drug abuse".[1.
