Hardcore band Piledriver [Philippines] have reunited with their original vocalist Treb for a slew of shows. The timing is perfect as the band lost yet another vocalist a few weeks ago. The band has had a revolving door of vocalists for the many years they’ve been around (formed in 1998), but like any band committed to their art – Piledriver has trudged on for almost 20 years now.
The news was announced a few days ago as the band announced that their original vocalist was back in town and decided to join the band for a few dates that the band had already confirmed awhile ago.

There are many places around the world where hardcore doesn’t feel like this.”
He also added:
“Shout out to everyone who has been supporting our small label and distribution RAILROAD RECORDS…distributor of hardcore punk vinyl and merch in the Philippines from Victory Records, Revelation Records, Deathwish Records, and Bridge Nine Records.” https://www.facebook.com/RailRoad4026
