The Camerawalls is an indie pop band based in Manila, Philippines formed in 2007 by singer and guitarist Clementine, the main songwriter of the band and formerly of Orange and Lemons. ==History== With a cult following back in 2003 to mainstream success in 2005 via a series of hit singles through a major label, it was with the band Orange and Lemons that the breakup in 2007 resulted in the premature exit of Clementine from the music scene.〔Tara FT Sering "The Philippine Star" () July 31, 2008〕 This was to prove as only temporary, as Clementine immediately formed a new band in September 2007 under the name The Camerawalls, collaborating with old friends Law Santiago and Ian Sarabia. To support The Camerawalls' releases and go as far as establishing full creative control and marketing his own music, Clementine also founded Lilystars Records, an independent record label determined to house the sensibility and aesthetics of indie pop music in the Philippines.〔Nerisa Almo "Philippine Entertainment Portal" () July 8, 2008〕 On March 2008, The Camerawalls released a sample of their music with an unofficial single "Markers Of Beautiful Memories" over the internet, which slowly gained attention and a following and was then eventually picked up by radio. With the release of their debut album ''Pocket Guide to the Otherworld'' on July 3, 2008 and the success of the single "Clinically Dead For 16 Hours", The Camerawalls became an example of a remarkable music production in true indie spirit. ''Pocket Guide to the Otherworld'' has become a landmark release that showed people what happens when contemporary indie pop meets good old Filipino sensibilities.〔( Paul John Cana "The Manila Times" February 23, 2010 )〕 The Camerawalls acquired Paolo Peralta as their session guitarist in November 2009 and later as an official member as they continued to tour. On February 22, 2010, The Camerawalls released a digital single called "The Sight of Love" which marked an official return to the recording studios. "The Sight of Love" also features another artist from the Lilystars stable – vocalist Sarah Gaugler of electro-pop band Turbo Goth.〔Kap Aguila "The Philippine Star" () March 4, 2010〕 Two months after its release, Paolo Peralta and Ian Sarabia resigned from the band. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Camerawalls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
