[2] Side A was founded in 1985 by the brothers Rodel and Naldy Gonzalez, Mar Dizon, Gabe Escalon, Bobot Barroga and their original lead singer Ding Silverio.
The band played at Holiday Inn, Rumors, Zigzag, Tavern on the Square and also performed at The Rock Wars Concert.
Through their eventual manager, Wyngard Tracy's support the band gained a following and made a name in the local music circuit.
Due to professional and musical differences, Ding, Gabe and Bobot eventually left the band and were replaced by Pido Lalimarmo, Joey Benin and Kelly Badon.
[citation needed] One of the biggest hits included on the album is "Hold On", featuring new lead vocalist Joey Generoso born in 1962 and new drummer Ernie Severino completing and forming the band's long-running line-up.
[citation needed] The album features a cover version of Labuyo's "Tuloy Pa Rin Ako" which was recorded live at the Music Hall, one of the premiere lounges in Manila.
[citation needed] It was also the only album they released internationally with two additional singles: "Forevermore" and a cover of the Joey Albert song, "Tell Me".
It includes the Joey Benin-written Janno Gibbs original "I Believe in Dreams", as well as a version of James Taylor's "Your Smiling Face" in which all of the band members could be heard singing solo parts.
His debut with the band features him singing Fra Lippo Lippi's "Later" on their 2005 Gig: All Hits Live (at Bagaberde) album.
He currently tends a fish farm and a developing natural organic farmland in Silay, Negros Occidental with his wife and kids.
