Formed back in 2009, Olkisrotom is a band that specializes in various sub-genres of rock music including alternative, new wave and even metal. Their influences include Starsailor, Coldplay, Maroon 5, Slapshock, Sandwich and many more.
Composed of vocalist Julio Acuyong, guitarist RyanCloyd Malala, drummer Amiel Codilla and bassist Shy Acuyong, the band took their name from the Tagalog word for motorcycle (motorsiklo) and simply spelled it backwards.
For SoundStrip Live & in Quarantine, the band is performing their original song, “Lipad,” a soaring rock ballad about picking up the pieces when the chips are down, especially during these challenging times.
