The underrated Boyce Avenue

Boyce Avenue

Boyce Avenue is a band that gained popularity via Youtube. The band did covers of popular hits like songs of Rihanna, Chris Brown, Snow Patrol, Coldplay and many others. Almost all videos of their covers have millions of hits from all over the world! They are that good!

Boys of Boyce Avenue

The band is composed of brothers Alejandro (on vocals), Fabian (guitars) and Daniel (percussion) Manzano. All three brothers are good-looking and have good voices. The band’s name came from the combination of two streets the guys lived in when they were kids. They are from Sarasota, Florida.

Greatest Hits Boyce Avenue

They performed here in the Philippines, in select SM malls, and they sold so many of their Greatest Hits album. And they were better in person more than they were in their Youtube videos! They came back last year for a concert but they were just front act and well, played for 30 minutes.

I wish they’d come back here once more and this time around, for their very own concert. This band is underrated, I tell you. They deserve more than what they’re getting right now.

YouTube babies

YouTube is now the vehicle to launch one’s singing career. I am thinking of Charice Pempengco and Arnel Pineda. Imagine, Charice was seen by Ellen de Generes on YouTube, a clip of her in a South Korean singing competition. Ellen was impressed and asked her to guest on her show. Look at where Charice is right now! An international singing sensation being handled by David Foster and the queen of talk, Oprah, herself. Wow!

And Arnel Pineda? The international band, Journey, discovered him through YouTube as well. He was asked to become the band’s lead vocals and well, they just finished a US tour and have guested in Ellen, too!
