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 ↴

It's been too many nights
It's been too many nights
It's been too many fights

It's been too many years
Been too many years
Please don't interfere

It's been too many rides
It's been too many rides
I just wanna slide

It's been too many words
It's been too many words
It's getting absurd

It's been too many days
It's been too many gazes (?)
Up and aways

It's been too many cars
It's been too many stars
It's been too many scars

It's been too many towns
It's been too many towns
It's been too many clowns

There's been plenty of flash
There's been plenty to catch
There's been plenty to trash

And I can't wait to get home
I can't wait to get out of here
I can't wait to be all alone

It's been too many weeks
It's been too many geeks
It's been too many freaks

I'll be getting there soon
I'm getting there soon
Thanks to the moon

And I can't wait to get home
I can't wait to get out of here
I can't wait to be all alone

And I can't wait to get home

I can't wait to get out of here
I can't wait to be all alone

Overall Meaning

Sandwich's "Return to Center" is a song about the exhaustion of a long and tumultuous journey, and the desire to finally return home to find peace and solitude. The repetition of "It's been too many" emphasizes the weariness of the singer as they reflect on everything they have experienced. The fights, words, rides, and days are too much to bear, and they long for the simplicity of sliding home. The use of "gazes" and "clowns" create a sense of detachment and disorientation from one's surroundings. Throughout the chorus, the repeated line "I can't wait to be all alone" underscores the need for respite from the chaos of the journey.

The second verse references "weeks," "geeks," and "freaks," further emphasizing the overwhelming nature of the singer's experiences. The line "thanks to the moon" provides a sense of hope and guidance towards the end of the journey. The repetition of the chorus highlights the importance of returning home and finding a sense of calm after enduring so much.

Line by Line Meaning

It's been too many nights
I've been away for too long

It's been too many fights
There have been too many arguments

Please don't interfere
I need my space

I just wanna slide
I want to relax

It's getting absurd
Things have become ridiculous

It's been too many gazes (?)
I've seen too many things

It's been too many scars
I've been hurt too many times

It's been too many clowns
I've dealt with too many foolish people

There's been plenty to trash
There have been plenty of things to discard

I can't wait to be all alone
I need some time to myself

It's been too many geeks
I've interacted with too many strange people
