Cueshé

Cueshé is an OPM rock band from Cebu City, Philippines currently based in Manila. The group consists of Jay Justiniani (vocals), Ruben Caballero (vocals and guitar), Fritz Labrado (bass guitar), Jovan Mabini on (lead guitar), Jhunjie Dosdos (keyboards) and Mike Manaloto (drums).

Background

In March 2005, the group decided to move to the Philippine capital city of Manila. The group achieved hit singles ("Stay," "Sorry." "Ulan," "Can’t Let You Go" and "24 Hours."), a double platinum album (Half Empty, Half Full), accolades (Favorite Artist, Favorite Group and Favorite Song—for the song "Stay" at the 1st MYX Music Awards; SMART Texters’ Choice Hitmaker of the Year at the 2006 MTV Pilipinas Awards; Band of the Year at 2006 SOP PasiklaBand Awards; Best Breakthrough Artist at 2005 SOP Music Awards), within the span of a year.

Less than a year later, the band released its second album, Back To Me. This new album is set to validate the band's status as pop idols as they release ten new tracks, all of which were written by the members themselves. Their first single was of the same title, and their second single was "Borrowed Time". Being fans of The Beatles, they also did a re-make of the John Lennon hit single "Jealous Guy".

The band also made a contribution to The Eraserheads tribute album, Ultraelectromagneticjam!: The Music Of The Eraserheads, on which they sung their own rendition of "Hard To Believe".

The band also recorded the theme song of the Philippine television series Asian Treasures entitled "Walang Yamang (Mas Hihigit Sa "Yo)", which is included in the repackaged version of their album Back To Me.
