Queso started around 1994 with the name ”Cheese”. Enzo Ruidera, 2ts Calinawan and Pow Rosal were schoolmates and decided to put up a band for them to have something to do after classes.
Unexpectedly, they were winning battles of the bands left and right and things getting serious at the time. Thinking something bigger, they asked Ian Tayao, cousin of Pow Rosal as the band’s vocalists. During the time, Cheese started to write originals. CJ Olaguera was constantly with the band and eventually played the band’s percussions. In anyway, he had added new texture to the sound of the band.




Breaking the scene on 1996, fearing not what others have to say, or caring what other think is right or wrong, proper or improper. Daring to oppose the standards, they crafted music they call their very own. Performing with energy, Cheese claimed the stage their own, jumping and just being crazy on stage.

As the band gaining numerous gigs at different bars and club, 8 Toleran asked Ian if he could audition and luckily, as fate would have it, he was accepted since the band was looking for another guitarist. Another friend and a Dj, RT de Ano was absorbed into the band. It was always nice to have a dj for a band.

On 1997, Cheese released a two-song self-titled E.P. This demo contained tracks Fine and The Way. Fine eventually garnered a decent airplay in radio stations and topped the charts in no time. Cheese then captured the attention of Warner Music Philippines and signed a recording contract with the label.

1998 saw the release of full-length, debut self-titled album under Warner Music Philippines. The album took the radio airwaves by surprise, garnering critical and various awards. Earning peers and contemporaries alike, they made solid followers.

Cheese went on to spread what they have. They have travelled and rocked almost all the stages in every cities of the country. They were even tapped to represent the Philippines during the Pusan Rock Festival 2000 in Korea. There, they showed how Filipinos jump around, make noise, own and kill a stage.

On the recording of their sophomore album, Biboy Garcia went on, replacing RT de Ano. On 2001, Cheese released Pilipinas. As critically acclaimed, the album was considered as “the richest rock release of the year”. The album was released under Warner Music Philippines.

Cheese officially announced its new name into ”Queso” by 2003 for the reason that kids were calling them on that name. On the same year, Pow Rosal left and Robert dela Cruz replaced him and continued touring throughout the country.

As the Queso started writing originals again, the band released a DVD Documentary “Buhay Queso” on 2005. The following year, the band finished their third album, Queso.

Queso also won the World Battle of the Bands locally. It earned them the chance to compete for the World title which was held in Hong Kong. However, the band failed to grab the title. They even failed to be with the top three. But it was a sweet success for them.
