Greyhoundz is a Filipino Nu-metal/rap-metal band formed in the late 90's who gained international recognition and is currently based in Manila, Philippines.Greyhoundz was formed in 1997 by cousins Niño and Audie Avenido who at first just wanted to join a local battle of the bands contest together with other bandmates that included Allen Cudal. The contest was canceled so they opted to audition at the now defunct Club DREDD that was based in Manila.They later recruited Reg Rubio, who was from another band that also played at Club Dredd and TJ Brillantes came on board shortly after.Unfortunately on the 6th of May 2004, Allen Cudal died from a car accident. Many followers of the band were shocked during the sudden passing of Cudal. 2004 Pulp SummerSlam, was the last time that fans were able to watch the band in their complete line up.Despite the tragic event, as a sign of respect for their late band mate, the group now performs as a 4-piece band rather than hiring a new member..

1994. Queso started out using the name Cheese. It all began as something to do after classes. Enzo Ruidera, 2ts Calinawan and Pow Rosal were schoolmates and decided to form a band. Eventually things got serious and they were winning battle of bands left and right. The kids thought this might lead somewhere and eventually got Ian Tayao, cousin to Pow Rosal to take on vocal duties. At the time both parties were starting to write original songs. So by the time they were ready to play they were already playing original songs in a time were playing covers was the cool thing. Landing regular gigs at hot spots back then like Club Dredd and Yosh café, they steadily got noticed and slowly earned a following. CJ Olaguera who was constantly with the band eventually learned to play percussions and was a logical addition to the band because he was already always there anyway and he added new texture to the sound of the band.

By the time, they were regulars at a number of bars and clubs. 8 Toleran, a neighbor and former guitarist of the band Piranha asked Ian if he could auditon and join the band. As fate would have it, the band was actually looking for another guitar player. He fit in perfectly and he was in like that. RT de Ano, is another friend of the band and a dj. He was another logical choice to be absorbed into the band because he was always there anyways and the idea of having a dj in the band was shared by all of the members. By 1997, the band release and sold a two-song demo, the songs “Fine” and “The Way” were in it. Five thousand copies was sold out in a week. “Fine” eventually garnered airplay on NU107 and eventually hit the charts. The band was signed by Warner Music Philippines. 1998, the self-titled debut album “Cheese” was released. Critics and fans alike received it beautifully. The singles “10xkarma” and “Fine” climbed the charts and the band was nominated on a number of categories at the ’99 NU107 Rock Awards.
