The story of Taken by Cars started 10 years ago when 4 unassuming high
school kids coming from diverse cultural backgrounds with the same passion
for music and a little knack with their musical instruments decided to form
a band Bryce Zialcita (Lead Guitars), Derek Siopao Chua (Guitars), Benson
Yap (Bass), and Bryan Kong (Drums) were magkabarkada since their early
elementary days. After years of covering their music gods and lingering on
different genres, the band finally found a home when they were introduced to
Sarah Marco (Vocals). Today, the band is focused on writing their own music
and sharing it to the rest of the world. With elements ranging from their
classic rock roots to their passion for modern indie music, TbC has
fabricated an endearing yet daunting sound that will grip you in whichever
mood you are in.

By late 2006, after garnering enough material for a 30-minute set, the band
took its first steps into the public's eye, as they started playing to an
audience in small gigs and productions for the very first time. In February
2008, TbC released A Weeknight Memoir (in High Definition) on NU107 and it
immediately peaked at #1 on the daily countdown. During the course of the
year, TbC has slowly gathered attention, not only to music fans but to
fellow musicians as well.
The band was named MTV Philippine's Online Artist of the Month of June.
In October of the same year, TbC collaborated with Chicosci for the Jack Daniel's Jack's Mix event (the EP for the TbC-Chicosci collaboration is in the works and
should be out within the year).
While doing so, the band has been busy working in the studio recording their
full-length debut album with Mong Alcaraz (Sandwich, Chicosci) as producer.
The album's carrier single, "Uh Oh", now playing across the airwaves,
reached #1 on NU's daily countdown as well.

The debut album, Endings of a New Kind, was released last January 28, 2008 and peaked at #7 on the Music One Album Sales chart.
With two #1 singles and an album under their belt, Taken by Cars is set to breakthrough in 2008.
