I found this article on the PhilMusic site. It's about HYP (no, duh!).
The HYPE on HYP: Hungry Young formed by Ricci Gurango and Barbie Almalbis, who were later joined by Franklin Benitez after the album was finished (session drummers JunJun Regalado and Color It Red's Minco Fabregas played on the album).
Barely a year old and working mostly on original songs, HYP was signed by Sony Music Philippines in April 1997. The album was released in October 1997 and spawned the hit singles "Deep" and "Torpe".
In December 1997, HYP was one of the select bands chosen for the MTV-Asia Live & Loud sessions, which was broadcast all over Asia. They performed an all-original set. HYP also performed at the 1998 Asia Wind Festival in Shanghai, China.
Hungry Young Poets was recently awarded "Best New Artist" in RX 93.1 Manila's Year-End Countdown. They will soon be filming a video for the next single, "Firewoman".
