A thousand train of thoughts.. .
Countless emotions.. .
Intricately put into words.. .
Perfected with a synthesis of hard-driven guitars and a more grief-stricken vocals comes the much awaited new album – “Every Moss and Cobweb”.
With 12 tracks of brutally honest and heartfelt sentiments about love and life as you know it. This new album with the first single “Will you ever Learn” will take you to a journey of how one’s mind can imitate a reflection of doubt and uncertainty and what you can do about it once you notice you’re a step away from it.
That's what this album is all about, we encountered so many downfalls and mistakes along the way. .. This is our way of making up for all those unwanted situations that we did in the past, somehow we want to prove how sorry we are and right now we will make it sure that we've learned from our mistakes which everyone can be prone to.. .
Borrowing their name from one of Snapcase's famed releases, TYPECAST is now one of the most awaited newcomers in the small-scaled indie music scene of the Philippines. With an overwhelming set of performances for every show, the band is now creating widespread recognition among the crowds that come to watch this trio on stage, consuming all the heart-felt words of whispers and screams with wide arrays of contrast octave riffs that are totally melodic in such a way that they have been labeled as an emo band from the underground rock scene in the province of Laguna. In a masked kind of fulfillment, after years of playing since they were formed back in the latter weeks of December of 1999, the band plays with an urge of consistency of medium paced set of moods.
Influenced by foreign bands such as: Armor for Sleep | Further Seems Forever | Atreyu | Dashboard Confessional | Saosin | Appleseedcast | Shai Hulud | Thrice | Copeland | Brandston | The Get Up Kids | Deftones | Slowride | Coheed and Cambria | Alkaline Trio | Fugazi etc., the band's sudden interest in performing live is one of the reasons why they've been stable for quite sometime now. Typecast's sound has become famous for its honest lyrics which are derived from real-life experiences. Steve, the band's main song writer, triggers the most violent and hurtful yet conscientious set of songs, every show with a pounding beat of drumming coming from Melvin, who hits the drums like it owes him money, which is then concluded by low keys of bass that come from the mild fingers of Chi. The coalition of these guys is what makes the crowd get on their feet and absorb the music; whether outdoors or inside venues filled with eye-tearing smoke or singing along to every line as though their hearts were outside their shirts and shredding it to pieces with experiences of break-ups and disastrous relationships.

..im really starting to like this band. the quality of the music they make is outstanding, compared to the new wave of other Filipino rock bands imho. Steve's voice is very similar to the voice of [url=http://www.dashboardconfessional.com/]Dashboard Confessional[/url]'s vocalist Chris Carrabba

here're some of their recent music videos (from YouTube.com):

[i]So what’s the point in all of this?
When you will never change
The days have past
The weather’s changed
Should I be sorry? Could I be sorry?
I did it all for you
Hoping you would see
Your eyes are dull, your hands are clenched
Are we ready?
But you think about yourself
Only but yourself
But what about…
Un-lonely nights, romantic moments
The love
What about them
Throw it all away
You know me well
You know it’s wrong
Then what is it you feel?
You hide behind those perfect smiles
It won’t fool me because you already did
But you think about yourself
Only but yourself
But what about…
Un-lonely nights, romantic moments
The love
What about them
Throw it all away
The perfect dates, the sweetest kisses[/i]

[i]Standard pick-up lines that seems to wreck your bones
Can this be a sequel of my dying hope?
Chasing down a never ending make-believe
But you’re a perfect match of consistency
Will you come back in a heartbeat?
Don’t be confused of what a great thing we could be
We’ll take a walk on the same street
Can you tell me how Boston is like without me?
You’re image is stamp beneath the insides of my heart
Now you’re gone I don’t know where to start
The evidence is showing like a stable apprehension
But you’re the only one who’s apt for this affection[/i]
