A couple of weeks ago, the Greenwich #UltimateBandkada Search Season 2 finally ended. Held at Valkyrie at The Palace in Taguig City. Plethora won the seal of approval of the judges after their fantastic rendition of Ultimate Barkada Experience with a neoclassical metal and rock, but also a reggae and alternative twist.

Well, for those people that unaware of Greenwich #UltimateBandkada Search Competition. There was an audition that started last March, and they screened the participants until there were only eight bands. The finalists must then create an original Greenwich theme song, but there is a twist. They need to use at least two different genres for the jingle.

Hosted by Greenwich Ultimate Bankada Season 2 resident host, Mon Ti and MTV VJs Yassi Pressman and Andre Paras to make it more exciting. Witnessing the electrifying show was a mix of music moguls, musicians, band supporters, and members of the media.

The winning band is composed of LJ Herrera (vocals/bass), Aldrin Isaguire (keyboardist), Jesser Pello (drums), and Andrew Isaguire (lead guitarist). They received Php100,000 and a recording contract with VIVA records.

Bagging more than one title that night, our Ultimate Bandkada Champions, Plethora, also took home the title of Favorite ng Barkada after they successfully earned the most number of votes from the official online poll of the competition.

“Greenwich is once again successful in providing a venue where best friends can bond and enjoy awesome music over great food. This ultimate barkada experience is not only evident tonight but throughout the duration of the Search. We are thankful that Greenwich is supporting OPM this way. Music is a great way to foster friendship, and this initiative cannot do a better job than it already has. We are happy to be a partner of The Ultimate Bandkada Search for two years now, and we look forward to more in the coming years.”, shares Val S. Del Rosario, Viva Communications, Inc.
