Sheila and The Insects

Sheila and The Insects, yeah!

Inspired by the genius of post-punk/art-rock gods The Cure, Sonic Youth, The Smiths, and The Clash, Sheila and the Insects have reemerged, reconstructed, and reclaimed their almost lost rock n' roll hive, and "Quick To Panic", their latest ditty off the new album Flowerfish is apparently doing a remarkable job for them.

Having released three albums independently prior to Flowerfish, Orven Enoveso (vocals/guitar) and Ian Zafra (guitar), the better half of Sheila and the Insects persisted to survive amidst priority differences between previous bandmates. From a silent break-up in January 2004, Enoveso and Zafra reset goals, regrouped three months later with ex-Urbandub Jerros Dolino (drummer) and ex-Glitch/Capsule Simon Nuñez (bass), then held their 8th anniversary concert at Kahayag Cafe, Mabolo, Cebu to officially announce the new lineup and their fresh comeback.

A year later, the band re-issued their 2002 release and 3rd album Manipulator, and eventually signed a distribution deal with V3 Records. Sheila and the Insects rose from the coverband trap to being one of the trendiest bands along with their current international contemporaries The Killers, Bloc Party, and The Bravery.
