KDR Music House adds two promising acts to its growing roster: indie alternative rock and pop-rock band Calle Aurora and alternative pop-rock band 4EYEM.
Formed in 2023, Pasig-based band Calle Aurora is composed of Kevin Collier and Raine Garcia on vocals, Seth Dela Cruz on lead guitar, Dup Gapud on keys and synth, Raf Quetula on bass, and Darel Gaffud on drums.
Originally a quartet as Sala Session, the band rebranded as Calle Aurora and welcomed Dela Cruz and Gapud. The band takes its name from the words “calle,” meaning street, and “aurora,” meaning dawn or light. The name represents the stories and emotions found in the everyday lives of Filipinos.
The band released their debut EP, New Beginnings, in 2024 and introduced a new era with “Bahaghari,” released in June 2026. They draw inspiration from some of today’s leading OPM acts, including Cup of Joe, Maki, Ben&Ben, and Rob Deniel. They have performed at notable venues across Metro Manila, including Viva Café, Saguijo, and Milenya, and have also appeared on EdgeTV.
“We’re very excited knowing KDR’s profile. At the same time, we feel a bit of pressure because we want to give the audience something new and fresh — an experience they haven’t seen before,” the band shares.
Meanwhile, 4EYEM is composed of Isaiah Tabor (AISY) on guitar and vocals, Mel Kester (ZEO) on guitar, Josh Tino Cañares (JOSH) on guitar, and John Lloyd Borromeo (POY) on drums.
The band is influenced by artists such as SB19’s PABLO, IV OF SPADES, Maroon 5, Urbandub, SunKissed Lola, Rivermaya, Hale, Pentatonix, and Shawn Mendes. Together, they started making music in May 2025 and released their debut single, “Empty,” in November of the same year.
They have appeared on television on NET25, on radio on Magic 89.9, and in campus performances at De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) and Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP) Manila. They have also gained online traction through performance videos and covers.
“We are filled with joy and gratitude. We take this moment as a blessing we need to embrace for us to grow and reach greater heights in collaboration with KDR Music House,” the group shares.
