In February 2004, band mates Chris Padilla and Ivan Garcia decided to form their own 3-piece band. After struggling to find a drummer, Padilla decided to settle with his brother Bobby (who was only playing drums for two months). “Hilera” was officially formed in December 2004, while simultaneously working on Bobby's drumming skills. The band joined the “Nescafe Soundskool Battle of the Bands” in 2005. The competition saw the young band winning the top spot and scoring a recording contract with EMI Philippines. Since then, the band has been very active and has been nominated in various award shows such as the NU Rock Awards, Myx Music Awards, IFM Pinoy Music Awards, SOP (Pasiklaband) and other local award giving bodies.
Padilla and Garcia had a fascination with metal and other genres starting out. However, listening to bands like The Clash, Green Day and the Stray Cats defined the band’s musical direction.
