Sometimes mispelled as RubberBand or Rubber Band, but Not a band called Rubber..."Rubberband" as in "round shape elastic rubberband" - that's how Rubberband describe their band name. Catchy and very user friendly.

More interesting things about Rubberband:


The group even use the name "Rubbermind" at one point (homage to Nirvana's "Nevermind") while recording their first "studio quality" EP at some studio in NYC. The sound engineer asked what name should he put on the master tapes, the group said, put "Rubbermind". The group did not use "Rubbermind" but, they named their first low budget "studio quality" EP as "Pearl Prudence and Her Rubbermind Songs".

The group also used the name "Nodisco" (homage to Depeche Mode's song) a pseudonym name that they used until the group's "changing of the line-up" was finalized. Billed as "Nodisco" followers still calls them "Rubberband" even though they released one EP and one album under that name.

After naming new members, the band moved on and got back to their first original name, "Rubberband".



The group re-issued and repackaged most of the tracks from "Nodisco" to "Rubberband". Most of the songs were included from "Puppet Monster" "Go Back To Move On" and couple of tracks from "Nanibago Ka Nung Magkapera" .
