Biography
In February 2004, band mates Chris Padilla and Ivan Garcia decided to form their own 3-piece band. Not having much luck on drummers, Padilla decided to settle with his brother Bobby (who was only playing drums for two months). “Hilera” was officially formed in December 2004, while simultaneously working on Bobby's drumming skills. The band joined the “Nescafe Soundskool Battle of the Bands” in 2005 after being convinced by a friend. The competition saw the young band winning the top spot and scoring a recording contract with EMI Philippines. Since then, the band has been very active and has been nominated in various award shows such as the NU107 Rock Awards, Myx Music Awards, IFM Pinoy Music Awards, SOP (Pasiklaband) and other local award giving bodies.
