1) Sandwich was founded in… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Sandwich was founded in 1998 by Raimund Marasigan and Diego Castillo for the purpose of fulfilling their mutual desire to work together. Castillo recruited former band mates (from The Aga Muhlach Experience) Mike Dizon (of The Teeth) to play drums and Myrene Academia to handle bass duties. Marasigan was a judge at a contest where Marc Abaya jammed to a Beastie Boys song with his band, Shirley Beans.
Although existing simultaneously with the Marasigan's foremost band at that time, Eraserheads, Sandwich provided a heavier, grittier sound, and built up their own fan base. Abaya was still in college at the time, and Marasigan would still tour occasionally with the Eraserheads, but these weren’t hindering factors for Sandwich, as there were many sessionists ready to take over in case of a member’s absence.
They signed with then-BMG Records, now known today as Sony-BMG Music, and released their debut album, Grip, Stand, Throw, with much success, thanks to its carrier single, "Butterfly Carnival."
The band won three awards at the 1999 NU 107 Rock Awards: Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and Song of the Year.
They released their second album, Four-Track Mind, in 2000; it was awarded Album of the Year at the Rock Awards in 2001.
Sandwich then parted ways with BMG Records and released their third album, Thanks To The Moon’s Gravitational Pull, in 2003. It was under distribution by EMI Records Philippines.
Abaya left Sandwich in 2005, in an effort to cope with the difficulty of juggling his job as an MTV VJ, and his obligations to his other band, Kjwan. Marasigan has since taken over sole vocal duties.
After Abaya’s departure, the band wrote songs for soundtracks, like "Humanda Ka," which was done for the online game, Tantra, and "Nginiig" for the ABS-CBN show of the same name.
Mong Alcaraz of Chicosci joined the band late 2005 to solidify Sandwich’s new sound and assume guitar duties Abaya left behind.
They released their latest album, Five On The Floor, in early 2006.
In late-October 2006, their songs "Sugod" and "DVDx" became available in the online music game O2Jam.
The video for "Sugod" won five major awards at the 2006 MTV Pilipinas Video Awards including Video of the Year, Best Director, and Best Editing.
Recently, Sandwich member Mong Alcaraz and Myrene Acamedia had won the best guitarist and best bassist in recent NU Rock Awards 2006 respectively.
2) Band hailing from Columbus, Ohio featuring members from bands as diverse as The Lindsay, Brainbow, The Fighting Weight, and The Tough and Lovely, and fronted by known estate-sale vinyl proprietor, Ron House. Randomly formed in 2007. on the occasion of Columbus' annual Rock Potluck.

Sandwich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Requesting concent to use all these limbs
To embrace whatever's left of december
Reworking the script to make a point
When these eyes begin to witness murder
Chorus
I'd take to the air
Lies in a photograph
Verse 2
I'm counting the cost, acting selfless no doubt
To unite altogether the worth of december
Recollecting the terms, the pictures and dates
Understand when eternity's over
Combining the facts i review all the tapes
A little numb to feel older
Try cascading the words
To unravel the truth
[Chorus]
I'd like to play fair
If i could i would share
Knives and a killing smile
Don't believe, everything
Everything you feel
Don't believe, everything
Everything you see
In Sandwich's song "Photocopy," the lyrics speak to the struggle of processing and understanding the violence and chaos that surrounds us. The first verse requests permission to use all of our limbs and embrace what's left of December. This line is a metaphor for taking control of our lives and trying to find meaning in the chaos. The next line, "reworking the script to make a point," suggests that we are trying to make sense of our experiences and find a purpose in what is happening around us. The line "when these eyes begin to witness murder" represents the trauma and violence that can overwhelm us.
The chorus speaks to the desire to escape from the violence and lies that we see reflected in the world around us. "I'd take to the air, if I could I would share, lies in a photograph" suggests a desire for freedom and a way to escape the violence and deceit.
The second verse speaks to the cost of trying to unite and find meaning in the chaos. The line "counting the cost, acting selfless, no doubt" suggests that it is not an easy path, but one that requires sacrifice and a willingness to put others before oneself. The line "try cascading the words to unravel the truth" suggests that the way to process these experiences is to express ourselves and use language as a tool to uncover the truth.
Overall, the song "Photocopy" speaks to the struggle to make sense of and find purpose in the violence and chaos that surrounds us.
