In the heart of late-night jam sessions, endless lyric revisions, and shared dreams, Northern Lads carved their stories into melodies, turning their experiences into songs that speak straight to the soul. Their debut album, Kislap ng Mga Alaala, isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s a testament to their journey, their struggles, and the unwavering fire that keeps their music alive.

From Humble Beginnings to Harmonized Dreams

Dan (acoustic & vocals), Kein (lead guitar), Aldi (bass), and Son (drums) started like many indie bands—armed with passion, an old guitar, and a dream of making music that matters. Between day jobs, and the daily grind, they found solace in songwriting, using their music to capture the highs and lows of life.

Their songs reflect real emotions—longing, love, resilience, and hope. Tracks like MK and Ikaw dive into deep emotions, while Paano Bukas? and Ahon speak to life’s uncertainties and the fight to keep moving forward. And then there’s Don’t Stop—a powerful reminder to hold on, no matter how tough things get.

The Grind Behind the Album

Recording Kislap ng Mga Alaala was no easy feat. The band spent countless nights perfecting each chord, experimenting with arrangements, and rewriting lyrics until every song told its story the right way. They worked closely with arranger D. Garcia and various collaborators, ensuring each track carried its own weight and meaning.

Beyond the music, the band took an active role in the album’s production—from conceptualizing the cover art to planning the launch. Every detail mattered because this wasn’t just an album—it was their heart and soul, immortalized in sound.

A Grand Album Launch with GrooveLabs Production & ExcapeLabs
