I know a band way way ago during the 90's scene and i regretfully don't forgive my self haven't brought any cassettes or CD. I didn't quit recall there sound because it wasn't played that much during that days. Now I'm giving you an article from a magazine or should i say songhits mags.

Article Title: "Bad Days For Mary Are Going!
Author : Gwen D.
Some fellas actually believe that BAD DAYS FOR MARY is a death metal band. And the whole bunch breaks out loud guffaws.
To tune you in, let me introduce you first to Marry. Yep it may be she. The woman in the holy book. It may be any ordinary woman. Or a man. And the possibilities of her or it or him having bad days is far from zero. Mary maybe you or me. There goes the WHY BDFM tune.
Good days.
Let me introduce you to the band. Ixan Subido is the lead guitarist. Georgelyn Francisco is the bass player Mad Abril keyboadist, BJ Cabaluna, rhythm guitars, Irvin Paras, drummer and Camille Oro, the vox. As of this writing, the band is about to sign up with a major record company. They had 4AD in mind as first choice but most of true. So, they decided to settle for a second best. Enough with the crap that we ordinary folks do not settle for a second best. As Mad would put it, "We will never be rock stars. We belong to the mass."
His and her story.
Ixan is a foundation of melodies and words. Knows wh? 'Coz she's always involved with love. Either wvery "in" or just come "out." All the time. But one day, she became so bored with her routine she started writing to her favorite songhiys (not Jingle) and asked "Are you sick and tired of being a face a crowd?" This spawned one of the bands piece "Face In A Crowd".
And it came to pass that George and "cool," so the guys met. BJ, the column editor in that songhits later joined them. And the original vocalist Jhoi Solano soon follwed. Back then, Ixan hit the skin and tins.
And here comes another theory as to how Bad Days For Mary came to existence: Their first rehearsal - March 17, 1990 - was such a drag, one of them whose real name is Mary, thought: what a bad day for me! Or something to that effect. Their first cover song something to that effect. And their first original is I Have a Boyfriend penned by Ixan. They did Suzanne Vega, Sinead O' Conor and later 10,000 Manics. Their first gig was at UP Diliman campus. Then Mayrics, then one after another half.
1992 proved to be dominated by bad days as Jhoi said her bye. Additional dilemma came when Ican finally decided to play lead guitar. Scene scribe friend Sigfried came to the rescue with Irvin in tow. You didn't expect Ixan to just sit and stare. She placed a Vocalist Wanted ad in Buy and Sell. And one fateful day in October 1994, Camille walked in the lives of Ixan, George, BJ, Mad and Irvin. It was not the end of the story and this is no fairy tale, so they did not live happily ever after. In fact, they just kept on playing their music until it became fine and sexy they called it bubblegum pop
The treat.
The album called " Lets Talked Of More Pleasant Things." What makes this extra sweet is Camille's voice plus the simplicity of the melodic accompaniment. What makes it bitting and better than other local release is the song talk of Mind Over Matter, also a cut in the album. The song are about real people that get hurt, then give up. People who eat donut in bed. Yep, thats another one if the cuts--Donuts In Bed--I ate donuts in my bed ants bit my lips, pain struck my heart.
Then theres the poignant I Have a Boy Friend -- and has a girl friend. But it doesn't matter, as long as we're together.
The Nu107 favorite Violet that celebrates the death if an unrequited love.
Teach me not to love you
Teach me not to care.
So I wont cry...another song goes. And then another goes...
I told you once I wish my heart was made of stone...
You did the right thing, darling...
One last message for you fellas, catch the band before they begin to look like celebrities.
